What is AviClear?

AviClear is an FDA-cleared laser treatment designed to treat mild to severe inflammatory acne at its source.

Unlike traditional acne treatments that rely on oral medications or long-term topical products, AviClear uses a targeted laser to selectively suppress overactive sebaceous (oil) glands — one of the main drivers of acne formation.

It is a non-invasive, drug-free acne treatment that offers an alternative to isotretinoin and long-term antibiotics.

How Does AviClear Work?

AviClear uses a specialised 1726nm wavelength that selectively targets sebaceous glands.

Selective Targeting
The laser energy penetrates into the dermis to heat and suppress sebocyte activity while preserving the surrounding skin.

Oil Suppression
By reducing excess sebum production, one of acne’s root causes is directly addressed.

Progressive Improvement
Over a series of treatments, oil production stabilises, leading to fewer inflammatory breakouts over time.

What to Expect During Treatment?

Each AviClear session takes approximately 30 minutes.

During treatment, patients may experience warmth or a mild snapping sensation. The device is designed with AviCool™ contact cooling technology to enhance comfort.

Mild redness or swelling may occur temporarily, but most patients resume normal activities the same day.

For optimal results, 3 sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart are recommended.
