Dr Burkenstock – AcneClear New Orleans
The Revolutionary Laser Treatment for Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and it can have a significant impact on one’s self-esteem and quality of life. While there are many treatments available for acne, ranging from over-the-counter creams to prescription medications, many of these options can be ineffective, have unwanted side effects, or require long-term use to achieve results. This is where AviClear, a laser device from Cutera, comes in as a revolutionary treatment for acne that offers fast, effective, and long-lasting results. Here, we will explore all aspects of AviClear, including how it works, what results can be expected, why a person would select AviClear over other treatment options, how to know who are a good candidate for the treatment, the benefits of AviClear over prescription medicines, and how many treatments are necessary to obtain the desired results.
How AviClear Works
AviClear is a laser device that works by using a combination of two different wavelengths of light to target the bacteria, oil, and inflammation that cause acne. The first wavelength, 532 nm, targets the hemoglobin in the blood vessels that feed the acne lesions, reducing the inflammation and redness associated with acne. The second wavelength, 1064 nm, targets the sebaceous glands that produce oil, which can clog pores and lead to acne breakouts. By targeting both the inflammation and oil production, AviClear can effectively treat both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne.
AviClear is a non-invasive treatment that is typically performed in a doctor’s office or medical spa. The procedure is relatively painless, with most patients describing a mild sensation of warmth or tingling during the treatment. Each session typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the acne. Most patients require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, which we will discuss in more detail later in the article.
What Results Can be Expected with AviClear?
Patients who undergo AviClear treatment can expect to see a significant improvement in their acne within a few weeks of their first session. Many patients report a reduction in the number of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, as well as a reduction in the overall redness and inflammation associated with acne. AviClear can also help to reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin looking smoother and more even-toned.
One of the most significant advantages of AviClear over other acne treatments is that it offers long-lasting results. Unlike creams or oral medications that must be used daily or weekly to maintain results, AviClear can provide months or even years of clear skin with only occasional maintenance treatments.
Why Choose AviClear Over Other Acne Treatment Options?
There are several reasons why a person might choose AviClear over other acne treatment options. First, AviClear is a non-invasive and painless treatment, which means that there is no downtime or recovery period required. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Second, AviClear offers long-lasting results, which means that patients do not need to continue using creams or medications for months or years to maintain their clear skin. Finally, AviClear can be an excellent option for patients who have tried other acne treatments without success or who are unable to tolerate the side effects associated with prescription medications.
How to Know if You are a Good Candidate for AviClear
While AviClear is an effective treatment for most types of acne, not everyone is a good candidate for the treatment. AviClear is typically recommended for patients who have mild to moderate acne, although it can also be used to treat more severe cases. Patients who have deep, cystic acne may require a different type of treatment, such as oral medications or other forms of laser therapy. Additionally, AviClear may not be suitable for patients who have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders, or who are taking certain medications that can make the skin more sensitive to light.
Before undergoing AviClear treatment, we ask that prospective patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Burkenstock to determine if they are a good candidate for the treatment. During the consultation, the doctor will evaluate the patient’s skin and medical history to determine if AviClear is a safe and appropriate treatment option.
Benefits of our AviClear Over Prescription Medicines to Treat Acne
While prescription medications can be effective for treating acne, they often come with unwanted side effects. For example, some oral medications used to treat acne can cause dryness, itching, or peeling of the skin, while topical creams can cause redness, burning, or stinging. Additionally, some medications may not be safe for long-term use or may interact with other medications the patient is taking.
AviClear offers several benefits over prescription medications. First, it is a non-invasive and painless treatment that does not require any downtime or recovery period. Second, it offers long-lasting results, which means that patients do not need to continue using medications for months or years to maintain their clear skin. Finally, AviClear does not have the same side effects as many prescription medications, making it a safe and effective option for most patients.
Number of AviClear Treatments Required to Successfully Treat Persistent Acne
The number of AviClear treatments required will depend on the severity and extent of the patient’s acne. Most patients require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, typically we start with three treatments spaced several weeks apart. However, some patients may require more or fewer treatments depending on their individual needs.
During the consultation, the Dr. Burkenstock will discuss the recommended treatment plan with the patient and provide an estimate of the number of treatments required to achieve the desired results. Patients should be prepared to commit to the full treatment plan to ensure that they achieve the best possible outcome.
