A report conducted by aesthetic device company Cutera revealed that 90% of 500 patients find acne insecurities impact their daily lives.
Of the acne sufferers surveyed for The Acne Impact Report, 43% worried that they will never have clear skin, with 30% saying they worry that others only see acne when they look at them. One in four of the participants avoid social interactions because of their skin, and one in four said acne is always in the back of their mind.
Only half of those questioned said they feel fully educated about the acne treatment options available. One in three moderate-to-severe acne sufferers are interested in trying out laser treatments, and 81% of those using prescription treatments wish they had access to laser.
Sam Keene, Cutera regional leader UK & Ireland, said, “Acne affects a person’s confidence and quality of life. The latest report shows that laser therapies, particularly AviClear, are the preferred option after prescriptions, chosen twice as often as alternatives. AviClear offers proven, lasting results, restoring both skin and self-confidence.”
