Aviclear and facial hair?

I'm 33-year-old man who suffers from cystic acne. I've had a beard consistently since I was 19, and don't see myself being clean-shaven any time in the future. If I were to undergo treatment with the Aviclear laser, would I have to shave? And if I were to treat hair-growing areas, will there be any negative effect on hair growth or density? I know that certain lasers are used to discourage hair growth in unwanted areas.
