Acne is often stubborn, unpredictable, and surprisingly talented at appearing before an important event. Creams, washes, and medications help many people, but some patients want another way to manage recurring inflammatory breakouts. AviClear uses a specialized laser wavelength to target the oil-producing structures involved in acne. Dr. Sanjay Siddha of Clear Skin Dermatology can evaluate your skin and discuss appropriate acne solutions at offices in Toronto and Newmarket, Ontario.
Excess sebum, or skin oil, can mix with dead skin cells and contribute to clogged pores. AviClear delivers light energy to the sebaceous glands, which reduces their activity and oil production. This approach tackles an important part of the acne cycle rather than simply drying the skin’s surface. The treatment may help reduce inflammatory acne and make future flare-ups less frequent or intense.
Remembering daily creams or taking oral medication can feel like adding another job to your schedule. AviClear provides a noninvasive, light-based option that does not depend on a daily prescription routine. This benefit may interest people who cannot tolerate certain acne medications or prefer to explore an energy-based treatment. However, Dr. Siddha may still recommend skin care products or complementary therapies based on your acne type and medical history.
Acne does not follow one rulebook. One person may experience scattered inflamed pimples, while another develops frequent, widespread breakouts. AviClear has clearance for treating mild, moderate, and severe inflammatory acne. Its 1726-nanometre wavelength also allows trained providers to treat a broad range of skin tones. A professional assessment remains important because acne-like bumps can sometimes have another cause.
A typical AviClear plan includes three sessions, with each appointment lasting approximately 30 minutes and treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. The system includes cooling technology to help manage skin temperature and comfort. Patients may feel a snapping sensation during treatment. Mild redness, swelling, dryness, or a temporary acne flare can follow, but many people can resume regular activities quickly.
Patients often ask, “How long do AviClear results last?” Results vary, but AviClear received clearance for the long-term treatment of inflammatory acne. Manufacturer-reported data indicate that 92 percent of treated patients experienced at least a 50 percent reduction in inflammatory acne 12 months after their final session. Some people notice gradual improvement for months, so the final result may not appear immediately after treatment three.
