If you’re struggling with persistent back acne—commonly called “bacne”—you’re not alone. At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, we understand how frustrating and confidence-shaking bacne can be. Whether you’re avoiding backless clothing or skipping beach days, bacne can take a toll on your lifestyle. That’s why we offer AviClear, the first and only FDA-cleared laser treatment specifically designed to treat mild to severe acne, including stubborn bacne. With AviClear, our patients are finally getting the long-lasting, skin-smoothing results they’ve been hoping for—without the need for harsh medications or topical treatments.
What Causes Bacne?
Back acne, or bacne, develops for the same reasons as facial acne: overactive oil glands, clogged pores, and the presence of acne-causing bacteria. But the skin on the back is thicker and has more sebaceous (oil) glands than other parts of the body, which means breakouts here can be more severe and harder to treat. Hormones, genetics, sweat, and friction from clothing or athletic gear can all exacerbate bacne. Often, it resists over-the-counter solutions and requires targeted, professional treatment.
What Is AviClear?
AviClear is the first laser device of its kind, FDA-cleared to treat all severities of acne at the source. Rather than simply drying out the skin or targeting surface-level bacteria, AviClear uniquely targets the sebaceous glands that produce the oil (sebum) responsible for acne. Using a 1726nm wavelength, it selectively heats and suppresses sebaceous gland activity without damaging surrounding skin. The result? Fewer breakouts, reduced inflammation, and long-term oil control—without downtime.
AviClear is safe, non-invasive, and highly effective on back acne. Patients typically undergo a series of three 30-minute sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. Unlike many traditional acne treatments, AviClear doesn’t rely on oral antibiotics, Accutane, or hormonal therapies—making it an ideal option for patients seeking a drug-free, long-lasting solution.
Why Choose AviClear for Back Acne?
AviClear offers multiple benefits for patients suffering from bacne:
-
Targeted Sebum Control: AviClear treats acne at its root by shrinking overactive sebaceous glands.
-
All Skin Types Welcome: AviClear is safe for all skin tones and types, with no pigmentation risk.
-
Non-Invasive and Chemical-Free: No injections, no harsh topicals, and no systemic medications required.
-
Minimal Downtime: Most patients resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
-
Smoother Skin Over Time: After completing the series, patients experience long-lasting clarity and a dramatic reduction in flare-ups.
Best of all, AviClear doesn’t just reduce acne—it helps prevent future breakouts altogether by suppressing oil gland activity in a precise, laser-controlled manner.

What to Expect During Your AviClear Treatment
The AviClear treatment process is fast, comfortable, and straightforward. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
-
Consultation: We’ll evaluate your bacne and determine whether AviClear is the right option based on severity, skin type, and treatment history.
-
Treatment Session: Each AviClear session takes about 30 minutes. Patients may feel a slight snapping sensation or warmth, but it’s generally very tolerable.
-
Cooling System: AviClear’s smart contact cooling ensures that your skin remains comfortable during the procedure.
-
Post-Treatment: You can return to your normal routine immediately, though mild redness or sensitivity may be present for a day or two.
-
Series Completion: A complete treatment plan typically includes three sessions spaced about a month apart. Results continue to improve over time.
Some patients begin to see visible improvement in their bacne just weeks after their first treatment. Most experience significantly clearer skin within 3–6 months after the final session.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
One of the key advantages of AviClear is its long-lasting effect. Unlike many acne treatments that must be continued indefinitely, AviClear offers results that persist well beyond the treatment series. Studies have shown that patients experience fewer breakouts and sustained oil control for up to a year or more.
While occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended for those with extremely active sebaceous glands, most patients enjoy lasting relief from chronic bacne. And because the treatment is non-invasive, it can be safely repeated if needed.

If you’ve tried topical creams, oral medications, or other acne treatments with limited success, AviClear may be the game-changing solution you’ve been waiting for. This laser treatment is ideal for:
-
Teenagers and adults with moderate to severe back acne
-
Patients seeking a drug-free alternative to Accutane
-
Individuals with sensitive skin or who can’t tolerate harsh topicals
-
