BRISBANE, Calif., June 13, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cutera, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUTR), a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions, announces the release of important new acne survey data as part of June’s Acne Awareness Month. The findings highlight the impact of acne on individuals and emphasize the substantial role of novel treatments like AviClear®, the first FDA-cleared energy-based device for the long-term treatment of mild, moderate, and severe inflammatory acne, in improving quality of life.

Cutera’s acne survey data¹ sheds light on the emotional and physical aspects of acne in day-to-day life including the effect on memory-making moments, and the importance of new approaches in treating acne.

The survey data highlights the following key insights¹:

• 90% of acne sufferers surveyed experience daily insecurities related to their acne.

• 43% of acne sufferers surveyed worry they will never have clear skin.

• 6 in 10 say the struggles in treating acne can be worse than the acne itself.

• Half of those who have heard of AviClear are interested in trying it.

The survey data also revealed that 81% of acne sufferers surveyed wish they knew more about in-office treatments, with lasers being the #1 acne treatment that sufferers are considering¹. This data validates the market demand that Cutera proactively identified, ultimately leading to the development of AviClear, a solution that effectively addresses the significant gap in acne treatment options.
