Justin Ashar review for CLEAR Acne Treatment Centers

I went to CLEAR Acne Treatment Centers in Houston for AviClear after years of dealing with oily skin and acne as a 39-year-old male. Living in humid Houston, oil control has always been a major issue for me. Low-dose Accutane was the one thing that consistently helped, but I did not want to stay on medication long term just to control oil production. My doctor recommended looking into AviClear, an FDA-cleared laser treatment for acne. AviClear is designed to target oil glands and reduce acne over a series of three treatments spaced about a month apart. What stood out to me about CLEAR Acne Treatment Centers is that they focus strictly on AviClear instead of offering a long menu of random skin services. That gave me more confidence because the providers are working with this machine all the time. My provider was Chastyn. She is an AviClear Specialist and has focused exclusively on acne treatment for more than five years. She is incredibly knowledgeable about acne and skincare, and she also grew up dealing with acne herself. She has used AviClear on her own skin, and her skin looks great now, which made me feel even better about trying it. [AVICLEAR TREATMENT] +Session 1 on April 10, 2026 - My first AviClear treatment was done at 20 joules. I was nervous because I had read online that the treatment could be painful, but it was honestly very tolerable. Chastyn did a great job cooling the skin before using the laser, and I would rate the pain around 3/10 at most. There was zero downtime for me. +Session 2 on May 8, 2026 - My second treatment was done at 21 joules. Again, the process was smooth, professional, and very manageable from a pain standpoint. No major complications and no downtime. +Session 3 on June 3, 2026 - My final scheduled treatment was also done at 21 joules. The entire process felt consistent from start to finish. Chastyn explained that the final results do not happen immediately and that improvement can continue developing for many months after the third treatment. [PAYMENT] +AviClear Treatment Package for $3,495 - This is definitely an expensive treatment, but they offered financing through Cherry. I chose the 12-month payment option, which breaks it down into monthly payments of about $268.85 with 0% interest if payments are made on time. For someone who does not want to pay over $3,000 upfront, this made the treatment much easier to manage. [PAIN LEVEL] +AviClear Laser Pain Level - Much more tolerable than I expected. Chastyn cools the skin carefully before treating each area, which helps a lot. At most, I would rate the pain 3/10. It is not a relaxing spa facial, but it is very manageable and the sessions are quick. Overall, my experience with CLEAR Acne Treatment Centers and Chastyn has been excellent. I just finished my third AviClear session, so I cannot fully confirm the long-term final results yet, but my skin is currently clear and I am hopeful the oil reduction and acne improvement will continue over the coming months. What I appreciated most is that Chastyn set realistic expectations. She did not promise overnight results or pressure me into unnecessary treatments. She explained that results develop gradually and that a fourth treatment can be considered around 12 months later if certain problem areas remain, though she does not think I will need it. For anyone dealing with persistent adult acne, oily skin, or looking for a non-systemic alternative to Accutane, I would highly recommend looking into AviClear at CLEAR Acne Treatment Centers. The process has been professional, manageable, and very encouraging so far.
