Stubborn acne can be incredibly frustrating, leaving you feeling helpless. You’ve likely explored various options to achieve clear skin, from prescription medications to expensive skincare. Whilst some offer relief, breakouts may often return, or you find yourself dealing with harmful side effects.

AviClear Laser could be the answer you’re looking for. 

Unlike other acne treatments that primarily manage symptoms, this treatment takes a more targeted approach, potentially offering longer-lasting results and a broader spectrum of effectiveness.

However, with so many acne treatments boasting miraculous results, it’s natural to be sceptical. 

Is AviClear truly a viable weapon in your anti-acne arsenal? Let’s talk about five reasons why this revolutionary new laser might be worth considering in your journey towards clear skin.

Reason #1 — AviClear Laser targets the root cause of acne

For many battling acne, the frustration lies in feeling like you’re constantly playing catch-up. Topical treatments like creams and serums often focus on managing symptoms like inflammation and excess oil on the surface of the skin. 

While they might provide temporary relief, they don’t address the underlying cause of the problem.

Instead of managing symptoms, this treatment takes a more targeted approach. 

It uses a specific wavelength of light to directly target the sebaceous glands deep within your skin. These glands are responsible for producing sebum, a natural oil that lubricates your skin. 

However, when sebaceous glands become overactive, they produce excess sebum, which together with dead skin cells can clog your pores. This, in turn, triggers an inflammatory response, manifesting as pimples.

The targeted light energy delivered by the AviClear Laser disrupts the activity of these overactive sebaceous glands — which can help prevent future breakouts.

This means that, instead of constantly battling new breakouts, you’re addressing the overactive oil production that fuels them in the first place. This ultimately leads to longer-lasting results and a clearer, more confident complexion in future. 

Reason #2 — this treatment works on different types of acne 

Acne isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition. It can manifest in different forms — from blackheads and whiteheads to more inflamed papules and pustules, and even deeper, painful cysts.

The good news: AviClear’s approach has the potential to be effective for a variety of acne types. Whether you’re battling hormonal breakouts or painful cysts, the action of targeting sebum production could potentially help. 

It’s important to remember, however, that individual experiences can vary. It’s always recommended to consult a specialist dermatologist or dermal clinician to determine if this treatment is right for your specific type of acne and overall skin health.

Reason #3 — it’s a non-invasive treatment option

Traditional acne treatments can often include harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin, leading to redness, dryness, or even allergic reactions. In some cases, these treatments might even involve needles or incisions for extractions or injections— which can be uncomfortable and carry a risk of scarring.

AviClear, on the other hand, takes a non-invasive approach that eliminates the need for needles or harsh chemicals. It uses a specific wavelength of light to target the sebaceous glands. And this targeted light therapy offers a gentler approach to tackling your acne woes.

AviClear is a comfortable clinical treatment with minimal downtime, so you can now say goodbye to concerns about side effects and medications and experience clearer skin without the discomfort or recovery time associated with other acne treatments.

Reason #4 — AviClear offers a long-term solution from breakouts

For many struggling with acne, the cycle can feel relentless. You experience a breakout, treat it with various products, see some improvement, and then — new breakouts pop up. It’s a frustrating loop that can leave you feeling discouraged and powerless.

Traditional acne treatments often act like temporary band-aids. They might address the immediate issue – a pimple here, some redness there – but they often fall short of addressing the underlying cause.

AviClear, the future of clear skin, helps break this cycle. Because this treatment addresses the overproduction of sebum, it offers the potential for longer-lasting results. Studies even suggest that by reducing sebum production, AviClear Laser may help prevent future breakouts from forming.

Imagine a future where breakouts become a distant memory. AviClear Laser has the potential to help you achieve clearer, more confident skin. 

However, it’s important to remember that individual experiences can vary. Again, consult a dermatologist or dermal clinician to determine if this treatment is right for you and your specific needs. 

Additionally, maintaining a prescribed skincare routine alongside any treatment is essential for long-term skin health.

Reason #5 — it is suitable for different skin types 

The AviClear procedure is risk-free and effective for every Fitzpatrick skin type, even darker skin tones. It’s the only TGA-approved laser to safely treat all skin types and tones, as it targets the sebaceous glands without affecting the surrounding skin. 

For those with sensitive skin, the search for effective acne treatments can be particularly daunting. Many acne treatments, especially those containing harsh chemicals or requiring extractions, can irritate sensitive skin. This leads to redness, dryness, and further frustration.

AviClear’s technology is designed to be safe and suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin. Unlike traditional treatments that rely on harsh chemicals or abrasion, AviClear’s approach helps minimise the risk of irritation often associated with other acne treatments.

While this treatment offers promise for various skin types, it’s important to remember that this treatment is only suitable for certain types of acne.  Consulting with a dermatologist or dermal clinician will help determine if this treatment is the right choice for you. They can assess your specific needs and discuss how AviClear might fit into your overall acne treatment plan.

Should you consider AviClear? 

While AviClear Laser offers a compelling option for acne treatment, it’s best suited for specific individuals. 

Here’s a breakdown of those who might see the most significant advantages:

• Those who have history of unresponsive acne
  Have you tried various topical medications and lifestyle changes without lasting success? AviClear Laser’s approach of targeting sebum production at the source could be the solution, potentially offering long-term relief where other methods have fallen short.

• Individuals with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-V
  AviClear’s laser technology is designed to be safe for a wider range of skin tones. This is in contrast to some laser treatments that might carry a higher risk of complications for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV & V). However, a consultation with a dermatologist experienced in treating diverse skin tones is still recommended.
• Individuals with oily skin and enlarged pores
  Those with oily skin are best suited to AviClear treatment, due to the fact the laser works to target the sebaceous glands and reduce oil flow in the skin. Studies show that the more oil a person’s skin produces, the more likely they are to have visibly large pores. Due to the fact that AviClear reduces and down regulates the production of sebum, those with oily skin and large pores should see a significant reduction in these concerns after finishing a course of AviClear.

While AviClear Laser offers promising results, it’s not a magic wand. Individual responses can vary, and some residual scarring from past breakouts might still be present. This is why trusting an expert team is beneficial, as they can provide a holistic treatment plan to tackle a majority of skin concerns, and treat any acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that is left behind.

AviClear can also be most effective when combined with a personalised skincare routine recommended and prescribed by your dermal clinician and cosmetic physician. This might include cleansers, moisturisers, or even topical medications to address remaining concerns and maximise the benefits of the laser treatment.

The future of clear skin is within reach

The search for a definitive solution to acne can feel like an endless quest. While AviClear presents a powerful tool with promising results, it’s important to remember that clear skin is a journey, not a destination.

AviClear has the potential to offer long-lasting results and reduce the frequency of breakouts. However, it’s important to remember that no single treatment exists in isolation.

Maintaining a good skincare routine is important, regardless of whether you choose AviClear Laser or another treatment. A skin treatment plan should be personalised for your specific skin type and concerns.
