BEST Laser Treatment for Acne
Cutera AviClear
The biggest acne breakthrough in decades, AviClear is the first FDA-cleared energy device (it uses a 1726-nanometer wavelength laser) to treat mild-to-severe acne. It works by targeting the sebaceous glands, and results are being compared to those of Accutane, but without the scary side effects. “Cystic acne responds well to months of Accutane, but now with AviClear, we have a solution without the potential side effects of medication,” says New York dermatologist Orit Markowitz, MD.

Acne
This no-anesthesia-required laser treatment shrinks the sebaceous glands so there’s less oil production and fewer blocked pores. Other acne treatments don’t target the production of sebum, but rather other causes of acne. It's a major revolution for a skin condition that affects up to 50 million Americans every year. —Britt Fallon, director of. beauty
