ZOOM IN …. Hard to treat, comedonal acne, win! This client, a woman in her late 20s, arrived in a state of transition. Having recently decided to go off birth control—a common trigger for intense hormonal acne. Her journey was driven by a need for a non-hormonal, long-term solution rather than a temporary fix. While a dermatologist had recommended AviClear, their office lacked the technology, leading her to my clinic. Despite her initial hesitation and fear of trying another failed plan, she committed to a full series of three AviClear treatments, aiming to achieve clear skin for her sister’s wedding.
Recognizing that she needed not just oil suppression but immediate clearing of existing congestion, I developed a customized approach, performing meticulous extractions at every session to support the laser’s work.
The Treatment Journey: Over the course of her three, 30-minute sessions—spaced a month apart—the AviClear laser targeted her overactive sebaceous glands, reducing the production of sebum that causes stubborn hormonal breakouts.
The Transformation: Because AviClear selectively suppresses oil production at the source, she experienced a dramatic reduction in both cystic and inflammatory acne. Her skin transitioned from inflamed and sensitive to calm and refined.
The Result: She is now fully prepared for her sister’s wedding, with the radiant, confident skin she desired—allowing her to wear makeup without feeling the need to mask her skin.
New Beginnings: Furthermore, this transformation came at the perfect time, as she also accepted a new job, facing this new chapter with renewed self-esteem and the peace of mind that comes with lasting, drug-free skin clearance.
By trusting in the process of treating the root cause, she overcame her hesitancy and achieved a life-changing result that extended far beyond just “better skin”
Maintenance is essential such as any skin treatment, using suggested homecare continued facials for health of the skin.
