AviClear in New York City & Long Island

What are the Benefits of AviClear?

One of the best benefits that AviClear offers is that it can help treat cystic acne, which is often more problematic than traditional types of acne. You will require more than one AviClear treatment before results are truly noticeable, but so many people can feel relief knowing that there is a viable solution for their cystic acne. The effectiveness of this treatment will also look different based on the severity of each patient’s skin condition.

Some of the additional benefits that we have witnessed our New York AviClear patients enjoy include:

• Better self-esteem
• Clear and smoother skin
• Little-to-zero downtime
• Treatments are comfortable and safe
• Works with all skin types and tones

Who are the Best Candidates for the AviClear procedure?

The conditions caused by acne can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem, no matter how good they feel about the rest of their appearance. Chronically inflamed acne can cause permanent acne scars and discourage participation in certain activities out of fear of exacerbating acne.

Oral and topical medications used to manage acne can carry numerous pharmaceutical side effects or cause nearby healthy skin to become irritated or dry. They also often result in unimpressive improvement in many patients.

AviClear® laser acne treatment has finally achieved the dream of a safe, permanent, and pain-free solution to the following acne conditions:

• Enlarged pores that are more susceptible to debris congestion
• Small firm white bumps with black dots or blackheads
• White or yellowish bumps that may develop a pustule head
• Inflamed pores that are topped with red or pink lumps

One of the exciting advantages of AviClear® is that the treatment wand only affects sebaceous oil glands, leaving surrounding skin tissue unharmed. It is also safe for all skin tones.

What to Expect on the Day of AviClear

Before the start of the AviClear® laser treatment, a topical antiseptic will be used to disinfect the skin; a numbing solution is unnecessary since the laser wand simultaneously cools down skin tissue. The sensation from the laser is not painful and is often described as tingly or a light flick, and treatment typically takes less than one hour to complete.

AviClear Recovery

No recovery time is required after AviClear®, and patients can resume most activities immediately. Some patients may experience light redness or swelling; these are temporary and are quickly relieved with a cooling gel pack or a cold compress.

For a day or two, patients should avoid strenuous physical activities and extreme heat from showers, hot tubs, and saunas. Instructions regarding using sunscreen to prevent sun damage should be carefully followed.
