Clearer Skin in a Flash
For many of us growing up, we were told acne was just a phase, and that we would outgrow it. For many people, this simply didn’t end up being true. As an adult, acne can be embarrassing, making us feel self-conscious. No matter what age you are, though, it’s never too early to address concerns over acne.
You may have tried medications and various over-the-counter products with limited success. Some treatment options carry side effects as well. All of this can be a thing of the past, though, thanks to AviClear.
PureMD in Beavercreek, is excited to introduce AviClear, the first and only FDA-cleared laser treatment for the treatment of mild, moderate, and severe acne.
