What is AviClear?
AviClear is a laser treatment that can effectively treat all acne severities. Its revolutionary and award-winning technology is safe for all skin types and skin tones. AviClear is Health Canada approved for acne scars.
How does AviClear work?
AviClear uses the power of light to target acne at the source. This laser treatment uses a 1726-nm wavelength to selectively target and down regulate the sebaceous glands. The overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands is one of the leading causes of acne.
How many treatments are recommended?
The AviClear treatment protocols recommend three, 30-minute treatment sessions spaced one month apart to achieve optimal results.
When can results be seen?
The timing of when visible improvements can be noticed will vary by patient. In a clinical study of 104 patients who received a series of three AviClear treatments, it was observed that 80 % of patients had at least half of their acne resolved after three months after their final treatment. At six and twelve months after the final treatment, this figure rose to 87% and then to 92%.
Who is a good candidate for the AviClear treatment?
AviClear is suitable for adolescents and adult patients with mild, moderate or severe acne. AviClear is not a treatment that can be used to prevent acne.
What does the treatment feel like?
The AviClear treatment experience can vary by patient. No topical pain mitigation (numbing) is used for the treatment. AviClear is a laser that is equipped with exclusive AviCool™ sapphire skin cooling and sensory control for a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment experience. If you would like to feel what the sensation of the laser is like, ask your provider during the time of your consultation.
