For many patients, achieving clearer skin is only half the journey. The redness, post-inflammatory marks, and textural scarring that acne leaves behind can affect confidence just as deeply as the breakouts themselves.
This is where the breadth of the Cutera skin solutions ecosystem becomes one of the most valuable offerings a clinic can provide. With AviClear, excel V+, xeo+, enlighten, and Secret by Cutera, clinicians have everything they need to treat acne at the source and refine the canvas it leaves behind, all within one trusted technology family.
Treat Acne at the Source
Trusted by clinicians. Chosen by patients. AviClear targets acne at the source using its proven 1726 nm wavelength, selectively treating the sebaceous glands to deliver long-lasting results in a series of treatment sessions, with minimal downtime and minimal side effects.
As a drug-free, device-led approach backed by over 100,000 treatments delivered globally, AviClear gives clinicians a treatment pathway they can recommend with confidence, and patients an option they feel confident choosing. It forms the foundation of the acne patient journey.
Calm the Redness
and
Once active acne is under control, persistent redness is often the next concern. Post-inflammatory erythema responds beautifully to the excel V+ and its CoolView 532 nm wavelength, highly absorbed by oxyhemoglobin and ideally suited to superficial vascular concerns. For a gentler, no-downtime option across the face, Green Genesis delivers micro-pulsed 532 nm energy to address reds and browns comfortably.
For broader diffuse redness, dark spots, and photodamage, xeo+ offers a customisable, non-invasive intense pulsed light solution. Its LimeLight handpiece is designed to lighten dark spots and diffuse redness across skin types I to IV, making it a versatile partner for refining overall skin clarity and tone.
Refine Texture and Scarring
and
For the textural scarring acne can leave behind, two powerful options come into play.
enlighten delivers PICO Genesis FX, a fractional approach that uses a Micro Lens Array to create gentle micro-wounds in the epidermis and dermis, inducing collagen stimulation and remodelling to treat acne scars and skin quality concerns across all skin types, with faster healing. Laser Genesis on excel V+ and xeo+ further complements the journey, using gentle micro-pulses of 1064 nm energy to stimulate collagen and improve the appearance of scars and overall skin quality.
For deeper dermal remodelling, Secret by Cutera offers RF microneedling, clinically proven to improve the appearance of acne scars, with adjustable needle depths from 0.5 to 3.5 mm to treat at the right level for each patient. On Secret PRO, this can be combined with fractional CO2 resurfacing for comprehensive skin revitalisation.
Why a Complete Solution Matters
A skin solutions approach transforms the acne conversation from a single treatment into a complete patient journey: clear the acne, calm the redness, refine the texture, and rebuild confidence at every stage. For patients, it means a clearly mapped road to the skin they want. For clinics, it means deeper patient relationships, better outcomes, and treatment plans that span multiple visits and modalities, all powered by one trusted partner.
