Do you struggle with breakouts that seem to show up like clockwork – around your period or during times of stress? Hormonal acne can be frustratingly persistent and tough to address with over-the-counter solutions. That’s where AviClear™, an FDA-cleared laser treatment, comes in.
At Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine, an award-winning medical spa in Mill Valley, Dr. Faye Jamali and her highly trained team offer AviClear to help patients combat hormonal acne and enjoy clearer, healthier skin.
What Is AviClear?
AviClear is a game-changer for those with hormonal acne. Unlike topical creams that sit on the surface or medications that affect the entire body, AviClear is a laser therapy that targets the root cause of breakouts: your skin’s oil production.
The 1726 nm laser wavelength specifically disables overactive sebaceous glands and reduces sebum, the oily substance that fuels acne. A clinical study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology shows that most patients experience significant improvement in their acne after just three sessions.
How Does AviClear Help With Hormonal Acne?
AviClear treats hormonal acne by addressing one of its main drivers: excess oil production.
Hormonal fluctuations stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, which clogs pores and fuels breakouts.
AviClear selectively reduces activity in the sebaceous glands without harming surrounding tissue. This means your skin produces less oil over time, making it less prone to hormonal flare-ups.
Are You a Good Candidate?
AviClear is ideal for teens and adults struggling with mild to severe acne, including acne triggered by hormonal shifts.
If you experience cyclical breakouts, jawline acne, or blemishes that haven’t responded to topical therapies, you may be a great candidate. It’s also an excellent option for individuals who want a non-pharmaceutical solution or cannot tolerate oral medications.
AviClear is safe for all skin types and tones. However, it may not be recommended for those with certain conditions (such as psoriasis or severe rosacea) or who are pregnant. A consultation with Dr. Jamali can help you decide if it’s right for you.
