I am a 26 year old male and have had acne since my teenage years. I tried Accutane for 4 months when I was in high school and it was effective but side effects required me to stop early. I still had presence of cystic acne primarily around my chin & lips. I began my initial treatment of Aviclear in January 2023, completing my last treatment in March. It is my understanding that it takes up to 6+ months after completion of final treatment to see end results. However I have definitely noticed a reduction in occurrence of cystic acne in my problem areas. My acne is not gone but is overall improved compared to before treatment. I used to have cystic acne 24/7, now I would say I average around 1 spot a month. The treatment itself is very easy and minimally painful. I think this treatment is a great alternative to something like Accutane as it does not come with any nasty side effects.I received compensation from Cutera in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
