A Drug-Free Path to Lasting Acne Relief

For patients who have tried topical treatments, oral antibiotics, or harsh prescription medications without lasting results, AZALA Skin Clinic offers a different approach. Under the guidance of Founder and CEO Paula Brezavscek, PA-C, our team provides AviClear acne treatment in Coral Gables—a groundbreaking laser technology that targets the root cause of breakouts without the side effects of traditional acne medications.

What Is AviClear and How Does It Work?

AviClear is the first and only FDA-cleared energy device designed for the long-term treatment of mild, moderate, and severe inflammatory acne vulgaris. It uses a proprietary 1726 nm wavelength laser that selectively targets the sebaceous glands—the oil-producing glands responsible for excess sebum, one of the primary drivers of acne.

Here's what makes AviClear different from other acne treatments:

  • Targets the source: The 1726 nm wavelength is uniquely absorbed by the lipids in sebum, allowing the laser to selectively heat and suppress overactive sebaceous glands without damaging surrounding skin
  • Drug-free and chemical-free: AviClear offers a long-term solution without relying on prescription medications, antibiotics, or isotretinoin
  • Safe for all skin types: Clinical research has demonstrated the laser's safety and efficacy across Fitzpatrick skin types II through VI
  • Long-lasting results: Studies show that breakout episodes become shorter, less intense, and less frequent following the AviClear protocol, with results continuing to improve over time

Each session is approximately 30 minutes. The AviClear system features AviCool™ contact cooling technology to maintain skin comfort throughout treatment.

AviClear for Acne FAQ

Does AviClear work on blackheads and whiteheads, or only inflammatory acne?

Can I wear makeup the day after an AviClear session?

Is there an age minimum for AviClear?

What happens if I only complete two of the three sessions?

Will my acne come back after AviClear?

Can I do AviClear and use prescription acne medication at the same time?

Does AviClear hurt?

How is AviClear different from other acne lasers I've seen advertised?

Does AviClear work on blackheads and whiteheads, or only inflammatory acne?

AviClear is FDA-cleared specifically for inflammatory acne vulgaris. Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) may improve as overall oil production decreases, but the laser primarily targets inflamed lesions.

Can I wear makeup the day after an AviClear session?

In most cases, yes. Your provider may recommend waiting 24 hours and using only non-comedogenic, mineral-based makeup to avoid irritating the treated skin.

Is there an age minimum for AviClear?

AviClear is indicated for adolescents and adults, so there is no strict minimum age. Your provider will evaluate whether the treatment is appropriate based on acne severity and skin maturity.

What happens if I only complete two of the three sessions?

The full three-session protocol is necessary to effectively suppress sebaceous gland activity. Skipping a session may reduce the overall efficacy and longevity of your results.

Will my acne come back after AviClear?

Clinical data shows that breakouts become shorter, less intense, and less frequent over time after completing the protocol. Some patients may benefit from a maintenance session in the future, which your provider will discuss.

Can I do AviClear and use prescription acne medication at the same time?

Certain medications are compatible, but patients on isotretinoin should wait until their course is complete. Your AZALA provider will review your current medications before creating your treatment plan.

Does AviClear hurt?

Most patients describe a snapping sensation during treatment, similar to a rubber band. The built-in AviCool™ cooling technology helps keep discomfort manageable throughout the session.

How is AviClear different from other acne lasers I've seen advertised?

AviClear is the only laser that uses a 1726 nm wavelength to selectively target sebaceous glands. Older acne lasers target water or bacteria, which doesn't address excess oil production at the source.
