AviClear® effectively treats even stubborn, severe acne – safe for all skin types.
Lasers represent an entire category of skin-transforming treatments at the Markham area offices of Clear Skin Dermatology in Toronto and Newmarket, Ontario. And the AviClear® laser is the first and only energy-based device designed to treat inflammatory acne.
What is inflammatory acne?
Acne comes in many different forms. This type is characterised by redness, swelling, and pus-filled lesions. When the pores become clogged by too much oil and dead skin cells, an inflammatory response is triggered, which results in small, raised, red bumps called papules. Your papules may become pus-filled pustules. Larger, deeper, painful bumps and lesions include nodules and cysts.
Is AviClear® appropriate for all types of inflammatory acne?
Yes! Health Canada has cleared AviClear® for the treatment of both mild and moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. It is an effective treatment for a wide range of patients, because the laser targets the root cause of acne: the sebaceous glands that produce sebum or oil. By targeting these glands, the laser inhibits the production of oils that might otherwise clog your skin’s pores. The result is clear skin that stays that way by reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of breakouts.

Is this laser safe for all skin types?
Yes. Other lasers may target the melanin or pigment in the skin. This feature makes some laser treatments suitable only for certain skin types and skin tones. Not so with the AviClear® system. Due to how the laser uniquely targets the sebaceous glands, we can effectively and precisely treat acne without the risk of post-inflammatory discolouration, burns, and other damage and complications. It is also safe for both teens and adults.
Am I a good candidate for AviClear®?
Of course, every patient that Dr. Sanjay Siddha treats is unique. You are bringing to your consultation different needs, medical history, experience with acne/breakouts, and more. We account for these and other considerations when recommending the best approach to clear your skin once and for all. In general, you may be a good candidate for treatment if:
- You have tried traditional acne medications and treatments with little to no results.
- You are not a good candidate for other types of acne medications.
- You do not have flushing rosacea, which is a contraindication for this treatment.
- You are not pregnant, as lasers are generally contraindicated in pregnancy.
- You are frustrated with having to cover up your skin with cosmetics that only seem to highlight and exacerbate pimples and texture irregularities.
With AviClear®, you don’t have to hide your skin! You’ll want to show off your beautiful, makeup-free face. Only three initial treatment sessions support long-lasting results—up to two years of clear skin. Schedule your consultation at Clear Skin Dermatology today.
