Laser Goddess is welcoming AviClear. It is personal. Beth's story- I had some acne during my teens. When I reached my 20's, I would have several new cystic pimples every week. I was always popping, picking and covering up with make up. I never left the house without makeup, there was dark spots everywhere. I took courses of antibiotics, topicals, retinols.I even took birth control pills that made me feel horrible. Nothing stopped it.
After years of this suffering, I finally broke down and took Accutane. I call it the chemotherapy for acne, it is a five month treatment. It made me severely depressed in the beginning (there was no black box warning for suicide then) . I had muscle aches, constant dry lips. My skin broke out worse than ever. For months, I had pimples that never healed. The corners of my lips were cracked. It was so uncomfortable. Two years later, the acne came back with a vengeance. I was so disheartened that I needed to take it again for another five months.
I am personally so happy that people don't need to go through all that suffering. Cutera is the company that developed this laser. They have been one of leaders in lasers. I actually bought my first laser from them, 20 years ago. The company was called Altus then and the laser was the Coolglide.
The Aviclear Laser treatment is a series of 3 treatments, one month apart. There is almost
no downtime and purging is rare. We recommend getting a deep cleaning facial at some point during the series to clean your skin of comedones. The aftercare instructions are to wear sunscreen everyday. The Aviclear is safe for all skin tones. Most people find it uncomfortable, but not painful. Our clients are seeing a 90% improvement in the acne.
