AviClear™

AviClear™ is a laser treatment by Cutera that is FDA-approved to treat mild to severe acne.

The first energy device of its kind, AviClear works by reducing the oil produced by the sebaceous glands which is one of the most common culprits of acne breakouts. AviClear has been shown to improve existing acne while making future breakouts shorter, less intense, and less frequent.

Excess sebum (an oily substance) collects dead skin cells and debris, forming a sticky plug that clogs pores and gives rise to all types of blemishes. The bacteria that live in the sebaceous glands feed on this excess sebum, and it can inflame pores to the point of rupture, creating acne pustules, papules, nodules, and cysts.

Each year, approximately 50 million teens and young adults across North America seek professional treatment for acne. Roughly half continue to struggle with breakouts into adulthood.
