Clear Skin with AviClear Acne Laser

AviClear® is a breakthrough laser treatment designed specifically to treat acne at its source—offering a new pathway to clearer, healthier skin without long-term reliance on medication.

Unlike traditional approaches that focus on surface symptoms, AviClear works by selectively targeting the sebaceous glands, helping to reduce excess oil production—one of the key drivers of acne formation.

At The R Clinic, AviClear is thoughtfully integrated into a comprehensive acne management program. This allows us to address not only active breakouts, but also long-term skin stability, prevention, and overall skin health.

Whether you are experiencing persistent acne, adult-onset breakouts, or seeking an alternative to oral medications, our personalised approach ensures your treatment is tailored to your unique skin journey.

AviClear utilizes a 1726 nm wavelength laser that specifically targets sebaceous glands within the skin.

This wavelength is selectively absorbed by the sebaceous glands, delivering controlled thermal energy that helps suppress their activity. By reducing oil production, the treatment directly addresses one of the primary causes of acne – without damaging the surrounding skin.

Over a series of treatments, this process helps:

• Reduce active breakouts
• Minimise pore congestion
• Improve overall skin balance

As the skin gradually stabilizes, patients experience fewer breakouts and improved skin clarity over time.

We choose AviClear as part of our acne treatment offering for its targeted, medically driven approach:

• Targets acne at its source by reducing sebaceous gland activity
• Non-invasive treatment with no systemic medication required
• Suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones
• Minimal downtime, allowing return to daily activities
• Helps reduce reliance on long-term antibiotics or oral therapies
• Can be integrated into a comprehensive acne management plan

AviClear delivers gradual, progressive improvement in acne:

• Initial Phase: Skin may feel slightly inflamed or experience a temporary flare as the skin begins to respond
• Early Improvement: Reduction in active breakouts over the treatment course
• Progressive Results: Continued improvement over several months as oil production stabilizes
• Long-Term Outcome: Clearer, more balanced skin with reduced frequency of breakouts

Most patients begin to see visible improvement after completing the treatment series, with continued improvement up to 6–12 months post-treatment.
