How Does the AviClear® Laser Treat Acne Without Medication?

If you’re tired of battling acne with treatments that offer little to no success, it’s time to consider a new approach. AviClear® offers a promising solution for achieving clearer, healthier skin without the need for medications.

Acne is the most common skin condition, affecting some 50 million Americans. If you struggle with persistent breakouts, traditional treatments like topical creams and oral medications may not be providing you results — or they might come with unwanted side effects.

If you’re seeking a non-invasive, drug-free solution for clear skin, AviClear® laser treatment could be right for you.

At Physicians Weight Loss Center Highlands Ranch, we’re excited to offer AviClear as an innovative approach to treating acne. Here’s how this cutting-edge technology works and why it’s a win for acne sufferers.

Why acne happens

Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This leads to inflammation, blackheads, whiteheads, and even painful cysts.

The sebaceous glands in your skin produce sebum. While sebum is essential for keeping your skin hydrated, excessive production can lead to oily skin and clogged pores, which are the primary contributors to acne.

How AviClear targets acne at the source

AviClear is the first FDA-cleared energy device specifically designed to treat mild to severe acne by targeting and suppressing the sebaceous glands — without the need for medication.

AviClear uses a specialized 1726 nm wavelength laser that is absorbed by the skin's sebaceous glands. This laser energy selectively targets and heats the sebaceous glands, reducing their activity without damaging the surrounding skin tissue.

AviClear reduces its ability to produce excess sebum by precisely targeting the sebaceous glands. Over time, this leads to a significant decrease in the oiliness of the skin and, consequently, a reduction in acne formation.

One of the most appealing aspects of AviClear is that it’s a non-invasive treatment. Unlike other acne treatments that may involve harsh chemicals or systemic medications, AviClear works externally, making it the ideal option for anyone looking to avoid potential side effects. The procedure is also designed to be comfortable, so you experience little to no discomfort during the treatment.

AviClear is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Whether you have fair or dark skin, we customize the treatment to meet your specific needs.

What it’s like to receive AviClear treatments

A typical AviClear treatment session lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. To achieve optimal results, most people need a series of three sessions spaced about four weeks apart.

After the treatment, there will be minimal downtime; most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Mild redness or swelling is not unusual, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours.

As the treatment causes the sebaceous glands to become less active, you’ll start to notice a reduction in breakouts, oiliness, and overall skin clarity.
