DermSurgery Associates is thrilled to offer AviClear as another effective defense against acne for people of all ages, genders, and skin types.
What Is AviClear?
AviClear is the first and only FDA-cleared energy device to treat mild, moderate, and severe active acne. The treatment both reduces current breakouts and makes future acne flare-ups shorter, less intense, and less frequent.
How Does AviClear Treat Acne?
Excess sebum produced by overactive sebaceous glands is one of the leading causes of acne. AviClear’s energy wavelength targets and suppresses these glands to limit oil production and balance sebum levels months into the future.
How Much Does AviClear Cost in the Greater Houston Area?
The cost of an AviClear treatment at our Greater Houston locations varies from person to person based on several individual factors. As part of the consultation process, we will provide you with a personalized price estimate so you know what to expect.
Who Is a Good Candidate for AviClear?
AviClear is a very inclusive solution that works for virtually all skin types and forms of acne. It is popular with people looking to treat their breakouts without oral medications or solutions that may involve adverse side effects.
How Long Does It Take To See Results With AviClear?
Most people see their best results with a series of 3 half-hour sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Does AviClear Hurt?
The device features AviCool™ sapphire skin cooling and smart sensors to monitor your skin’s temperature from start to finish. Some people say the treatment feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. In clinical trials, recipients found it easy to tolerate without numbing agents or breaks during the sessions.
A Reputation Built on Results
I’ve been seeing Dr. Ryan Ryahi since 2020 for my psoriasis, after trying several different treatments with other doctors without much success. He was finally able to get my psoriasis…
Always a delight. Dr Glaich and her assistant have great attitudes and always help medically
The staff and doctors are very courteous and professional and handled all my concerns and needs. I highly recommend this office of your dermatology needs.
Does AviClear Work?
In clinical trials, 87% of people treated with AviClear saw at least half of their acne resolve at 6 months following treatment. Your results may continue to improve for several months after your last session as your skin continues to regulate your oil production.
Is AviClear Safe for All Skin Types?
AviClear’s 1726 nm wavelength is safe and effective for all facial skin types and tones.
What Is Recovery Like After AviClear?
You may have some redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity similar to that of a sunburn for a day or so following your treatment. You may also experience a temporary acne flare-up. You will need to avoid sun exposure as your skin will be especially sensitive to UV rays, but otherwise, you can return to your usual routine.
Can I Continue My Usual Skincare Routine After AviClear?
You can wear makeup the day after your treatment. Do not use any products that may irritate your skin, including retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid, for about a week. Your dermatologist will provide detailed aftercare instructions based on your current acne treatment protocol.

AviClear Frequently Asked Questions
Possibly. Let us know about all prescription medications, topical products, and supplements you currently use for acne. Current or recent isotretinoin use is especially important to discuss so our dermatologists can determine whether AviClear is appropriate and whether any changes to your regimen are needed.
AviClear is intended for active inflammatory acne rather than scars left behind after breakouts heal. If acne is under better control but you are still bothered by indentations, discoloration, or uneven texture, our team can discuss separate acne scar treatment options based on the type of scarring you have.
AviClear is FDA cleared for the long-term treatment of mild to severe inflammatory acne, but it does not treat an underlying hormonal cause. If your breakouts follow a hormonal pattern or include deeper, painful lesions, our dermatologists can look at the full picture and determine whether AviClear has a role in your acne care.
No. AviClear is FDA cleared for long-term treatment of inflammatory acne, but that does not mean you can never develop another breakout. Improvement may continue after the treatment series, and if acne becomes troublesome again later, we can reassess your skin and discuss what makes sense at that point.
No. AviClear should not be used over or close to tattoos or permanent makeup within the treatment area. Tell us about any cosmetic tattooing, permanent makeup, or traditional tattoos near the area being treated before your session.
No. Pregnancy is listed as a contraindication for AviClear. If you are pregnant or believe you may be pregnant, let us know so we can discuss other acne-care options that may be more appropriate at this time.
Tell us if you have a history of cold sores, abnormal scarring, pigment changes, vitiligo, bleeding disorders, inflammatory skin conditions, or open wounds in the area you want treated. Sharing these details helps our dermatologists identify factors that may call for added precautions or make AviClear unsuitable for you.
