AviClear treatment performed at Dermatology Southeast uses laser light energy to treat acne at the source. AviClear is more effective than other laser treatments available on the market because it safely targets the sebaceous glands, which produce the oily substance — sebum — that combines with dead skin cells to produce acne.

After consultation and confirmation that AviClear is right for you. Dr. Pentel or a skilled member of her team will clean the treatment area and begin to use the AviClear device. You may feel a snapping sensation when the AviClear laser is used on your skin. However, AviClear is also equipped with the AviCool system, which means you won’t feel the heat from the device, and the process will be comfortable and noninvasive. One session lasts just 30 minutes, with two subsequent 30-minute sessions to be spaced approximately four weeks apart at our Jacksonville, FL office.

You may be recommended or prescribed a gentle cleanser for your face and be asked to use sunscreen when outside for seven days following treatment. Patients have usually shown dramatic improvements three months following their last AviClear treatment, but because the device targets acne production at the source, results are likely to improve over time, and any future acne outbreaks are very likely to be less severe than those prior to AviClear treatment.

If you have mild, moderate, or severe acne, AviClear can help remove the blemishes and keep them away.
