If you have ever even considered taking Accutane for your
acne, it is time to make your appointment for Acleara laser treatment. Acleara is a safe, non-systemic laser
treatment for acne that works as well as Accutane WITHOUT the dangerous and uncomfortable
side effects.
Acleara is a 15 minute laser procedure that costs $250 (and
can usually be covered by a flexible spending account). The Acleara machine
uses suction to clean oils and sebum from pores and cysts, and laser light to
kill the bacterial that causes acne, and to stimulate new skin cell growth,
which causes increased cell turnover and leads to clear skin replacing damaged
acne-prone skin. Acleara works for “routine” adolescent acne as well as more
serious, scarring cystic acne.
The procedure is NOT painful, and the side effects are
minimal. Some patients will get some pink discoloration or dryness of the skin
following treatment, but generally they leave the office looking just like they
did when they walked in. It takes 2-3 Acleara treatments, given one month
apart, for best results.
If anyone you know suffers from this socially debilitating
disease, please let them know about this safe, affordable, and highly effective
treatment.
Accutane works very well in some patients with severe cystic
acne, so I don’t disapprove of it, BUT it has a lot of potentially very
dangerous side effects such as rectal bleeding, depression, violent or suicidal
thoughts, weakness, numbness, liver disease, pancreatitis, muscle disease and
severe fetal abnormalities if you become pregnant while taking it. ACLEARA has
NONE of these dangerous side effects. Your choice –and your skin - should be
clear.
