AviClear is the first and only FDA-cleared energy device specifically designed for the treatment of mild, moderate, and severe acne. Unlike traditional treatments that often rely on ongoing daily medications or topical applications, the AviClear laser targets the root cause of acne: the production of sebum (skin oil).
The device utilizes a specific 1726 nm wavelength of laser light that selectively targets and suppresses the sebaceous glands. By damaging the sebocytes (the cells that produce oil) and reducing sebum production, the laser effectively prevents the cycle of breakouts before they begin. Because the laser focuses solely on the oil glands, the surrounding skin is left unharmed. This innovative approach provides a drug-free, safe, and effective solution for clearing skin and preventing future flare-ups, offering a long-term resolution to a frustrating chronic condition.
While many laser treatments are designed for anti-aging or pigmentation, the AviClear acne laser treatment is specifically engineered to combat inflammatory acne vulgaris. This makes it an excellent option for patients who have struggled to find relief through traditional methods.
Dr. Stewart recommends AviClear for both adolescents and adults who are dealing with persistent breakouts. It is effective on all skin types and tones, which is a significant advancement in laser technology, as some lasers are not safe for darker skin. Whether you are dealing with deep, painful cysts or widespread inflammatory pimples, this treatment works to calm the skin and clear the blockage at the source. By reducing the oil that clogs pores, we can significantly improve the texture and clarity of your complexion over time.
For decades, the "gold standard" for severe acne treatment has often been oral isotretinoin (commonly known as Accutane). While effective, these medications come with a host of potential side effects, ranging from extreme dryness to more serious health risks that require strict monitoring.
Aviclear is a compelling alternative because it is entirely drug-free. You do not need to worry about systemic side effects, strict liver monitoring, or the dryness associated with oral medications. Additionally, unlike antibiotics which can disrupt your body's microbiome, AviClear uses light energy to achieve results. It offers a path to clear skin for those who are either ineligible for prescription medications or who simply prefer a non-pharmaceutical approach to their health and beauty.
At ASD of Cherry Creek, we prioritize your comfort and safety during every procedure. An AviClear treatment protocol typically consists of three treatment sessions, spaced approximately one month apart. Each session is relatively quick, usually lasting about 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
During the procedure, you may feel a snapping sensation similar to a rubber band, but the device is equipped with exclusive AviCool™ sapphire skin cooling technology. This keeps the skin's surface temperature regulated and comfortable during treatment. There is no need for numbing cream in most cases. Because Dr. Stewart is an expert in advanced technology, she ensures that the device is used with precision to maximize results while minimizing discomfort.
One of the major benefits of the AviClear laser is that it involves minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after leaving our office. You may experience some mild redness or inflammation (similar to a post-workout flush) for a few hours up to a day or two, but this typically resolves quickly.
Some patients may see a temporary "purge" or flare-up shortly after the first treatment as the skin begins to clear out deep-seated congestion, but this is a normal part of the process. Results generally improve over time, with optimal clarity usually visible a few months after the final session. This allows our patients—whether they are busy professionals or active students—to continue their lives without interruption while their skin heals from within.
When considering the AviClear laser cost, it is important to view it as a long-term investment in your skin's health and your personal confidence. Unlike monthly prescriptions or endless skincare products that only address symptoms superficially, AviClear offers durable results by modifying the skin's oil production mechanism.
At ASD of Cherry Creek, we are committed to providing value through superior medical expertise. While costs can vary depending on individual treatment plans, we provide transparent pricing during your consultation. Choosing a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Stewart ensures that you are receiving the highest standard of care, ensuring that your investment yields the best possible outcome for your skin.We also offer several financing options.
