AviClear treatments at Bodian Dermatology use laser light energy to treat acne.

Do AviClear laser acne procedures cause pain?
No, the majority of individuals only report mild stinging during the laser treatment.

Our team may apply a local numbing ointment to help make your procedure as easy and calm as it can be.

Can acne be permanently addressed?
Regrettably, although acne may be reduced and managed, there is not a "permanent" cure for acne. Practically every person will live with some degree of acne throughout their life. For many people, acne can be intense, but for others, acne is occasionally if ever a concern. That's the reason why Dr. Bodian offers a multifaceted approach to treating acne that can be customized to your own needs.

Do certain foods trigger acne or make it worse?
Consuming certain foods does not generally lead to acne. Significant research has gone into the connection between specific food products and acne. However, the leading cause of acne is hormonal fluctuations that can trigger the sebaceous glands in the skin to overproduce sebum, which can plug pores, causing acne outbreaks. While unsubstantiated, there are certain foods believed to make acne worse, like excessive fried foods, dairy products, food that contains saturated fats, foods with a lot of processed sugar, and milk chocolate. The connecting factor between acne and these products is that they might modify hormone amounts, which might lead to acne.
