TheraClear

TheraClear is an innovative in-office acne treatment that combines a gentle vacuum suction with a special broad-band light to clear acne breakouts. In a TheraClear session, the device first uses vacuum pressure to lift and cleanse the skin, unclogging pores by removing excess oil and debris. Then, it delivers pulses of light (similar to IPL) that target acne-causing bacteria and inflammation in the skin. By pairing suction with light therapy, TheraClear simultaneously deep-cleans pores and reduces the bacteria and redness that cause acne. This dual-action approach makes it highly effective for treating active acne without medications or invasive procedures.

Yes – TheraClear has been clinically proven to significantly improve acne breakouts, and many patients see a noticeable difference in their skin. TheraClear X effectively treats mild to moderate acne by using its vacuum+light technology to reduce oil, kill bacteria, and calm inflammation. It can help with a variety of acne types, whether you’re dealing with clogged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), inflammatory pimples, or even hormonal breakouts. In fact, TheraClear can be used on common acne-prone areas beyond the face, including the back and chest. This treatment is suitable for adult women in Scottsdale who might be experiencing persistent acne that hasn’t responded to creams or medications – it’s even shown to improve acne cases that were resistant to topical treatments. If you’re looking for a high-tech, drug-free solution to clearer skin, TheraClear could be an ideal choice.

TheraClear acne therapy is generally pain-free and comfortable. Most patients do not find the treatment painful at all – the sensation is often described as a gentle, warm suction on the skin, without the stinging that can occur with some laser treatments. There’s usually no need for numbing cream, and even those with sensitive skin tolerate TheraClear very well. As for side effects, they are minimal. You might experience mild redness or a bit of swelling in the treated areas right after a session, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Some people notice slight dryness or tightness of the skin for a day, which is easily managed with a light moisturizer. TheraClear’s safety profile is excellent – it doesn’t cause peeling or prolonged irritation. Plus, because it’s non-invasive (no harsh chemicals or deep skin wounding), the risk of any complications is very low. Our team will ensure your skin is well-hydrated and protected post-treatment, so you leave with a healthy glow and little to no discomfort.

Acne improvement with TheraClear can often be seen relatively quickly, but multiple sessions are needed for the best outcome. Many patients observe some clearing or reduced redness after just a couple of treatments, with visible improvement sometimes appearing as early as after the second session. However, for lasting results, a series of treatments is recommended. A typical TheraClear treatment plan might involve around 4 to 6 sessions, usually scheduled once or twice per week, to thoroughly combat the acne cycle. By undergoing repeated sessions, each treatment builds on the last – clearing out pores, diminishing bacteria, and allowing the skin to gradually heal. Over the course of your treatment series, you should see significantly fewer breakouts and smoother skin. And because everyone’s skin is unique, we’ll tailor the plan to you; some may need a bit more or less. The results also tend to improve over time as inflammation decreases and the skin starts to repair itself. If occasional breakouts pop up after you’ve completed the series, maintenance sessions can be done. You can always return for a top-up TheraClear session in the future to keep your skin clear, ensuring that your results last and your confidence stays high.

TheraClear is designed to have virtually no downtime, which is great news for those with busy lifestyles. After a session, you might have mild redness akin to a post-workout flush, but this usually fades within an hour or so. There’s no peeling, oozing, or significant swelling, so you won’t need to hide away at home. In fact, you can apply makeup and return to work or your daily activities immediately after leaving our office. Many of our Scottsdale clients love that they can conveniently fit a TheraClear appointment into a lunch break and continue their day without any interruption. We do recommend a bit of basic aftercare: for example, wear sunscreen if you’ll be out in the Arizona sun (your skin may be slightly more light-sensitive right after treatment) and follow any skincare guidelines provided by our team. Other than that, you’re free to enjoy your clear-skin journey without missing a beat – TheraClear’s no-downtime approach means you get effective acne relief with zero hassle.
