If you deal with breakouts, it can be frustrating. Acne can make you feel uncomfortable in your skin and can even cause scarring if it isn’t properly dealt with. If you find that most acne treatments aren’t giving you the results you’re looking for, it may be time to consider AviClear. AviClear is a laser treatment that can eliminate mild, moderate, or severe acne. Dr. Timothy Abrahamson at Greater Des Moines Dermatology in Urbandale, IA, can explain what AviClear is and what to know before you start. 

3 Things To Know About AviClear 

It’s important that you’re informed before you start your AviClear treatment and our dermatologist can explain some important things about the treatment. You should know how it works and what you may expect during the process. 

1. AviClear works on all skin types and tones.
   If you’re unsure about AviClear, it’s important to know that it’s safe for all types of skin. No matter what skin issues you might face with, AviClear is right for you. AviClear targets the sebaceaous glands, helping to eliminate the production of sebum, which is the oily substance that appears on the skin. 
2. Treatment is quick and easy.
   Most people will need three treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Each treatment takes about 30 minutes and you can return to your normal life immediately. There is no downtime required and you’ll visit your doctor 12 weeks after your final treatment.
3. Results take time but can improve quickly.
   Most people report seeing results within 6 months after treatment and results will continue to improve over time. You’ll be able to be happy in the skin you’re in again.
