AviClearWhat is AviClear?

AviClear is a revolutionary laser treatment developed by Cutera, designed specifically to target and suppress the sebaceous glands which are often the root cause of acne. Utilising a 1726nm wavelength, AviClear selectively targets these glands, reducing their activity and thereby decreasing sebum production. This process significantly diminishes existing acne and helps prevent future breakouts. AviClear stands out as the first and only energy device cleared by the US FDA for treating mild, moderate, and severe acne, making it a groundbreaking option in acne treatment.

The procedure involves a series of three 60-minute sessions, typically spaced about a month apart. The Skin Centre is proud to offer AviClear as part of our comprehensive acne treatment solutions, backed by a safety record of over 13,000 treatments performed in North America alone. This treatment is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and skin of colour, making it an inclusive option for virtually anyone suffering from acne.

What Does AviClear Achieve?

AviClear’s primary achievement is its ability to provide long-term control of acne by directly targeting the overactive sebaceous glands. Clinical studies have shown that AviClear delivers outcomes comparable to those of oral vitamin A treatments, but without the systemic exposure and potential side effects associated with such medications. After the recommended three treatment sessions, patients can expect a significant reduction in both the frequency and severity of acne breakouts.

This innovative treatment not only helps clear existing acne but also minimises the likelihood of future outbreaks. By reducing the skin’s oil production, AviClear also decreases the risk of new acne scars forming. It’s an ideal solution for individuals looking for a durable and effective treatment for persistent acne, providing benefits that continue to improve the skin’s appearance over time.

Our Philosophy on AviClear

At The Skin Centre, our philosophy on using AviClear for acne treatment is grounded in providing our patients with the most advanced and effective solutions available. We believe in addressing acne at its source, which is why AviClear’s targeted approach to reducing sebum production aligns perfectly with our holistic treatment strategies. The dermatologists have extensive experience in using a variety of modalities to treat acne, and AviClear is a prominent part of our treatment arsenal due to its innovative technology and proven efficacy.

We are committed to adopting treatments that not only address the visible symptoms of acne but also enhance overall skin health without the need for ongoing medication. AviClear offers our patients a safe, effective, and non-invasive option to manage their acne with long-lasting results. We encourage those considering laser treatment for acne to consult with our specialists to discuss whether AviClear is the right choice for their skin condition and lifestyle.

AviClear Compared to Alternate Methods

AviClear sets itself apart by being the first laser treatment that targets the production of sebum directly. Unlike other laser and light-based treatments that focus on reducing inflammation and bacteria, AviClear addresses one of the primary causes of acne, offering a more comprehensive and lasting solution. While treatments like IPL, BBL, and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) are effective for managing the symptoms associated with acne, such as redness and inflammation, they do not provide a long-term reduction in sebum production.

Furthermore, AviClear does not involve the application of topical chemicals or the systemic side effects associated with oral medications, making it a safer alternative for many patients, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those unable to comply with traditional acne medication regimens.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you come to The Skin Centre for an AviClear treatment, you can expect a comfortable and straightforward procedure. Each session lasts about 60 minutes, during which the AviClear device is used to deliver specific laser energy to the targeted areas. Most patients experience discomfort, often described as a sensation like a rubber band snapping against the skin or small needles.

There is no downtime required after an AviClear treatment, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately. Some may experience mild redness or swelling, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and is available to answer any questions post-treatment.

AviClear is considered a safe treatment with a strong safety profile, evidenced by its extensive use in over 13,000 treatments across North America. The most common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and a warm sensation in the treated areas, all of which generally resolve quickly. In some cases, patients might experience a temporary increase in acne, known as “purging,” which stabilises as the treatment progresses.

Blistering and Scarring: Although rare due to the controlled delivery of laser energy, blistering and scarring are a small risk. This risk increases if the post-treatment care instructions are not followed, such as avoiding picking or scratching at the treatment site

Patients undergoing AviClear treatments at The Skin Centre are supported throughout their recovery, with minimal disruption to their everyday life. Our team ensures that each patient understands what to expect during and after the treatment and provides comprehensive support to manage any side effects effectively.

By choosing AviClear at The Skin Centre, patients benefit from our holistic approach and commitment to providing safe, effective, and innovative treatments that ensure the best possible outcomes for their skin.

AviClear is suitable for patients struggling with persistent acne, including those who have not responded well to traditional treatments or who are looking for an alternative to medications. It is effective for all skin types and can benefit individuals with varying degrees of acne severity.

Everyone’s perception of discomfort varies. We adjust the intensity of the treatment based on your comfort level. If a patient is unable to tolerate and accepted effective dose, then additional treatments may be required for best results.

We recommend taking 1g of paracetamol 20 minutes prior to your appointment and with meals for 24-48 hours post-treatment to manage any discomfort.

You can expect to see 30% of total improvement at 3 months, 60% at 6 months, and 90% at 9 months post-treatment.
