- AviClear, the best acne treatment
Acne is a skin condition that affects 80% of Americans at some point in their lives. It’s often thought of as a problem of youth, but it’s surprising how many women and other men in their 20s, 30s and beyond are suffering from persistent acne. Although our dermatologists have seen changes in acne treatment over the past few decades, with the development of topical tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy, and Accutane, many of our patients are still unhappy with options available. . They want effective natural treatment without side effects. With the development of the AviClear laser, which was introduced last year, we have a drug-free way to treat acne at SkinCare Physicians near Boston.
Laser treatment targeting acne at the source
AviClear’s 1726 nanometer laser offers patients a safe, drug-free way to treat acne. This FDA-cleared device targets one of the main causes of acne by suppressing sebum production from the sebaceous glands.
Acne treatment with positive results
After only three months, well-tolerated, full-face treatment, 80% of people in the clinical trial had 50% removal of moderate acne. Three months later, or six months after their last treatment, 88% of people had 50% of their acne cleared. And the results continue to be very good. Our latest data found that one year after 3 treatments, 92% of the subjects had 50% removal of their acne. Recent findings from a study conducted by SkinCare Physicians suggest that this device may also help with skin and acne.

Acne treatment without side effects
Most of all, there were almost no side effects reported during clinical trials. Apart from a little redness around the pimples that were very short, and sometimes pimples, there is no swelling, blisters, sores or redness. In addition, because AviClear is a laser/light treatment, there are no side effects like antibiotics and especially Accutane.
A reliable method of acne treatment
More studies will need to be done in larger groups to see how effective these treatments are. We will also want to see how robust the results are. Most acne medications only work when used regularly. Accutane provides long-lasting benefits and sometimes cures acne, but its side effects limit its use in many people. The new sebum-targeting laser AviClear has no side effects and appears to produce long-lasting results for people with moderate acne.
AviClear’s drug-free laser can dramatically change the acne treatment paradigm. Schedule a consultation with one of our dermatologists to find out if AviClear may be the right treatment for your acne.
