During a question-and-answer session following the presentation, Jeffrey Dover, MD, director of SkinCare Physicians in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, said that general dermatologists have been slow to adopt the AviClear and Accure devices for treating patients with acne"because, for the most part, they are experts at treating acne with all the tools they have. They're not used to using devices.
Regarding concerns about out-of-pocket costs for AviClear or Accure treatments, Roy G. Geronemus, MD, who directs the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, New York City, advised considering the long-term benefits."If you calculate it out, it really is cost-effective to use the 1726-nm devices if you consider the copays, the cost of over-the-counter topicals, as well as the cost of prescription medications," Geronemus said.
