Acne’s persistence can make it difficult to treat and traditional treatments often fail to deliver the desired result. Advancements in laser technology have introduced new options for treating acne that can help more patients than ever. AviClear and Accure are two of these laser treatments, and we have all of the information you need to determine which treatment is right for you. At AM Facial Plastics in Beverly Hills, we are proud to offer treatments with the #1 expert in AviClear.
AviClear is the first FDA-cleared laser treatment specifically designed to treat mild, moderate, and severe acne by targeting the root cause—overactive sebaceous glands. Using a 1726 nm wavelength laser, AviClear reduces oil production by selectively suppressing these glands, leading to clearer skin over time. The treatment consists of three quick 30-minute sessions, each equipped with AviCool™ sapphire skin cooling and smart sensors to enhance comfort and safety. AviClear directly addresses the source of acne instead of just its symptoms to provide long-lasting results without prescription medications or downtime.
The Accure Acne Laser System treats everything from mild to severe inflammatory acne on both the face and body. It also operates with a 1726 nm wavelength laser and is combined with a “treat-to-temperature” algorithm and forced-air cooling to target overactive sebaceous glands. This treatment generally involves four sessions, spaced about a month apart, with patients often seeing up to a 70% reduction in acne after completing the series. Accure is effective for all skin types and involves minimal to no downtime.
Before starting your AviClear acne treatment, you’ll meet with us to discuss your skin concerns and treatment goals. This consultation is when we take the time to assess your skin type and the severity of your acne and determine the best approach for your specific needs. It’s also a great time for you to ask any questions and understand what the treatment process will involve.
During the AviClear session, the laser is applied to the targeted areas where acne is most active. The treatment will last around 30 minutes. While you may feel some warmth and a gentle snapping sensation during the treatment, the built-in cooling system keeps the surface of your skin cool and minimizes discomfort from the heat of the laser.
After your AviClear session, you may experience some redness or warmth in the treated areas. This is common and subsides within a few hours. We will give you instructions for post-treatment care at the time of your consultation, but the recovery is simple. You will want to be gentle with your skin, keep it out of direct sunlight, and avoid harsh ingredients or exfoliants until your skin heals.
Results from AviClear develop gradually throughout the treatment series. We usually recommend a series of three treatments scheduled four to six weeks apart. During trials, 92% of patients saw at least a 50% reduction in acne breakouts within the first 12 months of treatment. The improvements continue over time as follow-up treatments are scheduled and the sebaceous glands continue to produce less oil.
Choosing between AviClear and Accure depends on the needs of your skin, the severity of your acne, and the type of acne you have. The best way to determine the right treatment for your skin is to schedule a consultation. Even more important than the device you choose is finding a doctor who has experience in treating acne with laser devices and takes the time to consider your unique situation.
