Hamilton Cosmetic Dermatology in Victoria is the first in Canada to use the device commercially since Health Canada approval
If patients are crying in dermatologist Dr. Tatyana Hamilton’s exam rooms, it’s usually for one of two reasons, she says — acne or hair loss.
“Technically we’re not the first machine in that sense, but we’re the first one to be available to patients outside of clinical studies,” said Hamilton, an active clinical trial investigator and researcher. “This is a medical condition, so we’re just thrilled to have another tool in our toolbox.” “Everybody is affected differently and sometimes we don’t appreciate the degree of the sort of mental suffering they have,” said Hamilton. “It affects all spheres of their life up to the ability to keep to keep full employment, so yes, they do cry in the office.
Acne affects 5.6 million Canadians, nearly 20 per cent of the population. More than 80 per cent of acne sufferers are between the ages of 12 and 24. In teens, hormones drive excess oil production. The AviClear energy device does the same job as isotretinoin, as it selectively focuses on suppressing sebum production. The recommended treatment is three 30-minute laser treatments. The energy the laser produces is adjusted for different skin types and colours.Clinical trials, said AviClear, demonstrated that current and future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense and more infrequent following the procedure.
Tan has a clinic in Windsor, Ont., and is an an adjunct professor at the University of Western Ontario, and researcher of acne and acne scars. He is using the AviClear laser in clinical trials. “This is a really important treatment because there is no other option that we currently have that is as selective for acne as this one is, nevertheless, it’s one within a whole group of options.”
