TheraClear®X

TheraClear®X Acne Treatment

A comfortable, in-office treatment for mild-to-moderate acne, with no downtime.

Acne can show up as clogged pores, pimples, or inflamed breakouts—and finding the right treatment often takes more than a change in skin care products. At LifeTime Dermatology, we offer TheraClear®X, a noninvasive treatment that combines gentle vacuum technology with broadband light to treat mild-to-moderate acne on the face, chest, and back.

Ask About TheraClear®X

How Does TheraClear®X Work?

A handheld device applies gentle suction to the treatment area, followed by pulses of broadband light. TheraClear®X is FDA cleared to treat mild-to-moderate acne, including clogged pores, pustules, and inflammatory breakouts. Your provider will evaluate your skin and discuss whether it fits your acne treatment plan.

Why Patients Choose TheraClear®X

  • No downtime: You can return to your usual activities immediately after treatment.
  • Comfortable appointments: Treatment does not require pre-medication.
  • More than one treatment area: TheraClear®X can be used on the face, chest, and back.
  • A plan for your skin: Visible improvement may appear as early as the second treatment, though results and the number of treatments needed vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is TheraClear®X right for my acne? TheraClear®X is intended for mild-to-moderate acne. During a consultation, we can assess your breakouts, discuss your treatment goals, and recommend an approach for your skin.
  • What does treatment feel like? The device uses gentle suction and a liquid-cooled handheld applicator to deliver broadband light. It is designed to be a comfortable treatment without pre-medication.
  • When will I see results? Some patients may see visible improvement as early as their second treatment. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your skin; individual results vary.
  • Will I need time to recover? TheraClear®X has no downtime, so you can resume normal activities after your appointment. Your provider will give you any skin care instructions specific to your treatment.

Let’s talk about your acne and whether TheraClear®X is a good option for you. Request an appointment with LifeTime Dermatology in Troy, or call (248) 362-3500.
