Does your teen struggle with acne? Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting up to 50 million people each year. Left untreated, it can lead to permanent scarring, but it affects more than their appearance. According to research, people with acne can develop depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor self-image, decreased quality of life, and a feeling of being all alone.
Grace Pediatrics is excited to introduce AviClear, a highly effective acne laser treatment that treats acne without harsh chemicals or medications! With over 12,000 commercial treatments performed, AviClear is the number one FDA-cleared energy-based acne treatment in North America.
AviClear selectively targets the source of acne at the optimal wavelength and power, making it safe for all skin types and skin tones. AviClear isn’t just a routine, it is a transformative experience that redefines the standard for long-term acne clearance!
What is AviClear?
AviClear is a laser treatment that can effectively treat all acne severities. Its revolutionary and award winning technology is safe for all skin types and skin tones.
How does AviClear work?
AviClear uses the power of light to target acne at the source. The AviClear laser treatment uses 1726-nm wavelength to selectively target and suppress the sebaceous glands. This causes sebaceous glands to shrink, decreasing sebum production. The overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands is one of the leading causes of acne.
How many acne laser treatments are recommended?
The AviClear treatment protocols recommend three, 30-minute treatment sessions spaced one month apart to achieve optimal results.
When can results be seen?
The timing of when visible improvements can be noticed will vary by patient. However, the majority of patients see visible improvements 3 to 12 months after their last treatment.
Who is a good candidate for the AviClear treatment?
AviClear is suitable for adolescents and adult patients with mild, moderate, or severe acne. AviClear can treat hormonal and cystic acne that many teens go through. AviClear is also suitable for teenagers that have tried other acne treatments such as prescription topical medication, oral medication, or isotretinoin (Accutane).
It is not a treatment that can be used to prevent acne.
Is AviClear safe?
AviClear is FDA approved and very safe for teenagers and adults. The laser wavelength only targets the sebaceous gland. This means that AviClear treatments are safe for all skin tones and won’t damage the skin. It also has virtually no side effects, making it safer than other acne treatments, such as prescription topicals, oral medications, and alternative lasers.
