Hamzavi Dermatology Clinton Township

TheraClear is an advanced acne-treating system that combines a broadband light and vacuum to clean and unclog your pores, while treating your skin at the same time. The vacuum in TheraClear extracts the skin cells and oil from your pores, while the broadband light destroys the bacteria.

The team at Hamzavi Dermatology Clinton Township determines if you’re a good candidate for TheraClear during a consultation. You may want to consider the advanced acne treatment system if:

• You have moderate to severe acne
• Your acne hasn’t improved with topical or oral medications
• You want to avoid over-the-counter treatments or antibiotics
• You’ve tried laser treatments and didn’t get results

TheraClear is effective at treating many types of acne, including acne vulgaris, pustular acne, and comedonal acne. 

The team at Hamzavi Dermatology Clinton Township provides TheraClear treatment at the office. During treatment, your dermatologist applies the TheraClear device to the affected areas of your skin, which gently suctions out the impurities as the light treats the bacteria. 

You shouldn’t feel any discomfort during your treatment, which only takes about 10 minutes. To get the most effective results, you may need 4-5 sessions every 1-2 weeks.

To treat large acne lesions embedded in your skin, the team at Hamzavi Dermatology Clinton Township may use the TheraClear acne surgery insert treatment, which mechanically evacuates the sebum and bacteria creating the deep blemish. 

You may begin to notice an improvement in the look of your skin by the second or third session. The Hamzavi Dermatology Clinton Township team recommends you continue your usual skin care routine, including any special acne treatments you use, while undergoing TheraClear treatments.

Once you’ve completed your sessions, you may benefit from touch-up treatments every 3-4 months. However, some people remain blemish-free for a year or more after their TheraClear sessions. The team also recommends you continue to use any acne treatments that help keep your skin clear after you complete your treatment.
