Intended Use

The AviClear Laser System is indicated for the long-term treatment of mild to severe inflammatory acne vulgaris.

Device Description

The AviClear Laser System is an infrared diode laser device with a nominal wavelength of 1726 nm. Similar to other well-established infrared laser devices, the device uses a combination of the treatment spot size, beam characteristics, and tissue absorption and scattering coefficients at the output wavelength to deliver energy to tissues at depth. The wavelength of the laser energy, when combined with the pre, parallel (during energy delivery), and post cooling of epidermal and superficial dermal structures, causes selective heating of dermal tissue at different depths. The 1726 nm laser energy heats the chromophore, sebum within sebaceous glands, which results in controlled thermal injury of the sebaceous glands, the ultimate treatment target, thus reducing or eliminating sebum production and causing an improvement in acne vulgaris. The diode laser and associated beam delivery optics, laser and electronics power supplies, control electronics, and cooling system are housed inside a console equipped with a touchscreen user interface. The laser treatment parameters are selected using the touchscreen. The treatment handpiece has an integrated scanner for delivering treatment spot(s) in an operator-selected pattern; a temperature-controlled skin-contact cooling window to provide thermal protection for the epidermis and superficial dermis and through which energy is delivered to the patient; and skin-contact pressure sensors that enable laser energy delivery when the system is in Ready mode and the footswitch is depressed.
