Our benefit-focused approach centers on clearer skin and a calmer complexion with minimal disruption to your routine. AviClear—the first FDA-cleared device for the treatment of mild to severe acne—targets the oil glands to reduce sebum, a key contributor to breakouts.

AviClear Acne Treatment Plans That Fit Your Goals
Laser Acne Treatment: What to Expect and How It Works
Laser acne treatment with AviClear focuses on the sebaceous glands—the source of sebum that can clog pores and contribute to acne. AviClear uses a 1726 nm wavelength designed to selectively target these glands while preserving surrounding skin. During your session, we prepare your skin, protect your eyes, and use integrated cooling to enhance comfort. Most treatments take about 30 minutes, and topical numbing is typically not required, though we can customize comfort measures.
A typical AviClear laser acne treatment course includes three sessions spaced several weeks apart plus an annual maintenance treatment. This staged approach allows the skin to respond gradually. Because laser acne treatment is device-based and noninvasive, there are no incisions or sutures. You may experience brief warmth and redness that fade within hours to a day. We review your medications and skincare to time treatments safely, and we adapt settings to be inclusive of a wide range of skin tones. Your plan can also integrate complementary acne treatment options such as gentle chemical peels, LED therapy, or individualized skincare. Throughout, we prioritize safety by following evidence-based protocols, sterile technique, and attentive aftercare. Our goal is a thoughtful laser acne treatment experience that supports clear, healthy-looking skin over time.
Candidacy Focuses on Breakouts, Skin Types, and Realistic Goals for Improvement
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Acne Treatment?
Ideal candidates for laser acne treatment include teens and adults with persistent mild, moderate, or severe acne seeking a device-based option that does not involve medication. You should be in overall good health, with no active skin infections in the treatment area. We review your history of photosensitivity, recent sun exposure, and any use of medications that may affect healing. Pregnant patients and those with certain medical conditions may need to postpone treatment. If you have primarily acne scarring rather than active breakouts, we may recommend alternative therapies more suited to texture and then plan laser acne treatment later if new blemishes arise. Together, we determine whether this acne treatment aligns with your timeline and expectations.
Expect Gradual Reduction in Breakouts and Improved Oil Control
Results You Can Anticipate and Sustain Over Time
After completing a series of AviClear sessions, many patients report fewer breakouts, less oiliness, and a calmer-looking complexion. Results from laser acne treatment build progressively over weeks to months as sebum production decreases. While no acne treatment can promise complete or permanent clearance, our structured approach sets realistic expectations and focuses on durable improvement. Minor redness may occur shortly after sessions, and small, temporary flares can happen as pores clear. Scars and dark marks may persist; we can address these with complementary treatments once active acne is controlled. We’ll discuss how skincare, sunscreen, and lifestyle choices help you maintain results from laser acne treatment.
Know the Typical Downtime, Comfort Strategies, and Follow-Up Schedule
Recovery and Aftercare Following Laser Acne Treatment
Most patients experience mild redness and a warm sensation for several hours after laser acne treatment; makeup can often be applied the next day. We suggest gentle cleansing, fragrance-free moisturizer, and daily broad-spectrum SPF. Avoid intense workouts, saunas, and exfoliating acids or retinoids for 24–48 hours unless we advise otherwise. Brief, localized purging can occur as pores clear. We schedule follow-ups to assess progress between AviClear sessions and fine-tune your skincare. If you develop unexpected irritation, we’re available to support you promptly. With consistent sun protection and the skincare plan we provide, recovery is typically smooth, and each subsequent laser acne treatment session feels familiar and manageable.

Most patients complete a series of three AviClear sessions for laser acne treatment, spaced about three to four weeks apart, and we also recommend an annual maintenance treatment. This cadence allows your skin to respond steadily while minimizing disruption to your routine. During your consultation, we will personalize the number of sessions and intervals based on your acne pattern, skin sensitivity, and goals, and we’ll review what to expect between visits.
AviClear’s 1726 nm wavelength is designed to target oil glands while preserving surrounding skin, and we calibrate settings based on your skin type and sensitivity. We have protocols to treat a broad range of tones safely, and we set expectations for temporary redness or warmth. During consultation, we review your history of pigment changes, sun exposure, and products to tailor your laser acne treatment carefully.
Patients often describe brief warmth or a snapping sensation during laser acne treatment. AviClear includes contact cooling to enhance comfort, and sessions generally take about 30 minutes. Most patients do not need numbing, and downtime is minimal—often limited to mild redness that fades within hours to a day. We provide clear home-care instructions to help you return to normal activities quickly.
Yes—many patients benefit from a comprehensive plan. We coordinate laser acne treatment with non-conflicting topicals, gentle chemical peels, and professional facials or light therapy when appropriate. We will advise you on when to pause certain actives—like exfoliating acids or retinoids—before and after sessions to reduce irritation and support results.
Unlike devices that primarily target bacteria or surface inflammation, AviClear is designed to address the sebaceous glands, helping reduce oil production—a key contributor to breakouts. This mechanism makes AviClear a compelling laser acne treatment choice for persistent acne. We’ll compare options during your visit and recommend a plan tailored to your skin and goals.
Laser acne treatment focuses on active acne by targeting oil production; it is not primarily a scar-revision device. After active blemishes are under better control, we can discuss treatments for texture and discoloration—such as microneedling, targeted laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or medical-grade skincare—to complement your results.
Pricing varies based on the number of sessions and the scope of your plan. We will provide a clear estimate during your consultation. While cosmetic treatments are typically not covered by insurance, many patients use HSA or FSA funds when allowed by their plan. Our team will explain payment options and scheduling so you can plan confidently.
