AviClear Montreal

AviClear is a laser treatment for acne offered at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal that targets the sebaceous glands, the glands in the skin that produce oil. By directing laser energy toward these oil glands, the treatment addresses one of the underlying contributors to acne.

AviClear is most often considered by patients who would like to address acne through a laser-based approach that works directly on the skin’s oil glands. The treatment is delivered over a series of sessions, and your specialist will determine the most appropriate plan for your skin and concerns. Each session is tailored to your skin and the goals you discuss together.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, AviClear at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether AviClear is the most appropriate option for your skin and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Taking of photos
Each treatment begins with the taking of photos. This step is essential to document the progress of the results.
Step 2
Cleaning of the skin
All traces of makeup and impurities are removed with a cleansing lotion. The skin is then carefully sanitized.
Step 3
Hydration of the skin
Water compresses are applied to the face to keep the skin damp. This process is repeated throughout the treatment.
Step 4
Treatment
An applicator from which the laser pulses are emitted is placed in contact with the skin. The technology is equipped with a cooling system to maintain skin temperature and ensure a comfortable experience. The treatment does not require any sedation or anaesthetic cream.
Step 5
Post treatment
The treatment requires minimal downtime. The initial redness and warmth almost always subside within 24-48 hours, and most patients return to their activities the next day. When treating the sebaceous gland, it is normal to have a transient acne flare-up about 2 weeks after treatment.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Three sessions, four weeks apart, are generally recommended. Results are long-lasting and additional treatments are rarely needed. In clinical studies, 80% of participants saw their acne decrease at least by half. 87% of participants were satisfied or very satisfied with the results one month after the last treatment.

Contraindications

AviClear is contraindicated in pregnant women or in patients with skin cancer. Special precautions should also be taken in nursing mothers. Patients taking prescription medications such as Accutane may need to defer treatment. Each case is evaluated individually by a Dermapure physician.
