AviClear uses a 1726-nm laser to target and reduce the activity of sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing the oil that can cause acne. By decreasing sebum production, AviClear effectively manages and reduces acne breakouts, providing a clear and healthy complexion even during hormonal changes experienced in peri-menopause.

Yes, AviClear is a safe treatment option for peri-menopausal women. It offers a non-hormonal, laser-based approach to acne treatment, avoiding the potential side effects associated with hormone therapies. The treatment is FDA-cleared and has been shown to be effective and well-tolerated in clinical trials.

Most patients require three 30-minute treatment sessions, spaced 2-5 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Significant improvements are typically noticeable within three months of completing the treatment series, with continued benefits for up to a year.

While AviClear primarily targets acne by reducing sebaceous gland activity, many patients also experience improvements in skin texture and tone. By preventing new breakouts, AviClear reduces the risk of new scarring and hyperpigmentation, helping to maintain a clearer and more even complexion over time.

During an AviClear treatment session, you may feel some mild discomfort, similar to a moderate stinging sensation, but this typically subsides immediately after the procedure. The treatment involves minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your normal activities right away. Results will gradually improve over a few months, with most patients noticing significant skin clarity within three months of completing the treatment series.
