Acne is one of the most common skin concerns that people of all ages experience. It can be a huge cause of self-consciousness and embarrassment, and it can sometimes leave unflattering marks and scars that won’t go away. Makeup and other means of covering up these skin blemishes just make things worse, so why not treat acne at its source and eliminate it once and for all? At Dr. Ariel Ostad’s New York City practice, we are proud to offer the FDA-cleared AviClear™ laser for the successful treatment of acne. This treatment is ideal for anyone who suffers from mild, moderate, or severe acne, as well as anyone who may be an Accutane candidate due to resistant acne but no longer wants to feel restricted with birth control pills intake or other side effects of Accutane. 

How Does AviClear™ Work?

AviClear™ is the first-and-only energy device that is designed to treat mild, moderate, and severe acne in men and women. This laser procedure uses a combination of AviClear™’s 1726 nm wavelength and AviCool™ contact cooling to target acne at its source by suppressing the sebaceous (oil) glands all while ensuring a safe, pain-free treatment experience.  

Treatments are fast, lasting only 30 minutes, which means that the AviClear™ laser can be performed during your lunch break or before picking your kids up from school. There is no downtime associated with AviClear™, and any side effects you may have (typically mild inflammation and redness) will subside quickly.  

How Can I Get the AviClear™ Treatment?

Ideal candidates for this treatment are men and women who experience mild, moderate, or severe acne on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. This laser is the perfect solution for pre-teens and teenagers who are experiencing puberty, and it can also help hormonal women and stressed-out men with any acne they may be experiencing. AviClear™ is great for everyone at any age and with all skin tones (including those with olive-toned skin and skin of color). Candidates are also those individuals who have tried medication or Accutane and/or wish to stay away from using medications to treat their acne.  

What Results Can I Expect to Achieve?

To achieve the best results, it is recommended that you undergo a series of three treatments spaced approximately four to six months apart. After the full AviClear™ laser series is complete, patients see a noticeable improvement in their complexion, an improvement in their confidence, and continued results over time.
