Chronic acne is a condition that affects 40 percent of the population, with half of these individuals suffering from moderate to severe cases. Many people resort to makeup to conceal their blemishes, but summertime heat makes this process difficult. Acne also tends to flare in summer as the heat dilates your pores, which is worsened by excessive sweating. 

Should this happen, the AviClear™ treatment has proven to be an excellent solution to treat the root cause of acne. Relying on the power of laser instead of internal drugs, this procedure can treat moderate to severe acne, resulting in clear skin. Read more to find out how this treatment can help!

What Is AviClear™?

AviClear™ is a special laser that uses a 1726 nm wavelength to selectively target and suppress one’s sebaceous (oil) glands. This reduces the severity and frequency of acne breakouts, leading to much smoother skin. This procedure can reduce even the worst cases of acne in just three treatments. 

AviClear™ works additionally in several ways to address acne. First, it can reduce the size of the pores, which dilate more over summer. This decreases the chances of dirt and bacteria getting trapped in the pores. Additionally, since sebum production diminishes, the chances of the pores getting clogged are lower. 

The AviClear™ treatment also targets bacteria that lead to acne. Not only can it prevent an incubating breakout from forming, but it also helps control and reduce a current breakout. The skin should become smoother and clearer as the treatment kills the bacteria in the pores, reducing inflammation and redness.

Benefits of AviClear™ 

Here are the benefits you can enjoy with AviClear™: 

1. Adjustable Treatment

No two people have the same kind of acne or skin concerns. Some people are dealing with hormonal acne that grows like big cysts on the face. Others constantly get whiteheads. Some get breakouts daily, whereas others get them only during specific times of the month. The good news is that AviClear™ treatments can be adjusted in intensity and pulse duration to work for all kinds of acne. This way, you will know that the effects are what you wish for and that the skin doesn’t support any consequences. 

2. Smoother Skin

The warmth of the laser that kills the bacteria has another beneficial side effect: it triggers collagen production. This causes the pores to shrink as the collagen pushes the pore walls. The result should not only be clear skin it also results in a smoother surface. While the laser is mostly used for acne vulgaris, many patients notice some reduction in fine lines.

3. Skin Tone Neutral

The customization ability of the AviClear™ treatment also makes it a good solution for individuals of every skin tone. As the laser Is gentle, the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in people with dark skin is reduced. No matter if it’s your natural skin color or you are just tanned, the laser is safe for use on all tones.

4. Long-Lasting Results

While AviClear™ results are not technically permanent, the effects are still long lasting. Depending on your skincare routine, you can enjoy them for months or even years. It is recommended that you repeat the treatment once or twice a year. 

5. Minimal Side Effects

AviClear™ features an incorporated technology called AviCool™, which sends cool air onto the skin after the laser treats the area. This increases your comfort levels during the treatment and reduces inflammation. As the treatment is minimally invasive, any potential redness or swelling should fade within a few days.
