Does aviclear work on hormonal acne?

Hello,
If the cause of acne is hormonal (like your case), Aviclear is still a good option because it deactivates the oil glands which are overactivated by hormonal influence.
So the answer is yes, Aviclear will HELP you to have less frequent and less severe acne flare ups but if you want to cure your acne you need to control your hormonal imbalance due to PCOS too.

AviClear laser treatment can be an option for managing hormonal acne, particularly if traditional treatments like birth control pills and Accutane are not suitable for you. While individual responses can vary, AviClear's targeted approach to acne can help reduce inflammation, regulate sebum production, and improve skin texture. It's worth noting that hormonal acne, especially associated with conditions like PCOS, can be challenging to treat due to its underlying hormonal factors. While AviClear may help improve the condition, it might require a combination of treatments, consistent skincare, and possibly dietary adjustments to achieve the best results.

There is an effective alternative acne laser, called Accure. I have seen a significant reduction in acne with my own patients. From my experience, it works much more efficiently compared to AviClear and the treatment has virtually no recovery or downtime post-procedure. Accure is a painless treatment that works across all skin types.

Accure also offers some collagen remodeling capabilities, which is great for improving the appearance of acne scars. What makes Accure really stand out is its targeted approach to oil production. It focuses on sebaceous glands, reducing sebum production and enhancing the overall appearance of the skin. Accure is FDA approved for mild to severe inflammatory acne vulgaris.

While Accure can be a great solution to acne, I always recommend a consultation with a board-certified practitioner to choose the best treatment based on your individual needs.

Hope this helps you find relief from your acne! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Yes, Aviclear works on hormonal acne. AviClear is an FDA-approved laser treatment that targets the sebum also known as the oil glands, which are the root causes of acne. It works by delivering a precise wavelength of light energy that penetrates the skin’s surface and destroys the bacteria that cause acne. This technology also helps reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts. AviClear treatments are fast and easy, usually there is no downtime required, so patients can resume their normal activities right away.

AviClear does work for hormonal acne. We treat clients that range from teens to middle aged women with hormonal acne. AviClear targets the sebum (oil glands) and does not interfere with hormone levels. AviClear is your "Accutane" replacement but without the lab tests or mood changes. The only side effects are the temporary side effects of what the laser may do to your skin, such as redness.

While different types of acne won't work with various medications, Aviclear targets directly the source of the problem they all have in common: sebaceous glands. This laser targets directly the sebaceous glands and minimizes them so they won't create any further outbreaks.

AviClear does work very well on hormonal acne. While most acne has a hormonal component to it, not all acne treatments work well for all types of acne. However, AviClear has shown to improve acne of all types. It especially works well on hormonal acne, and also well on cystic acne and other types.
