Targets Oil Glands at the Root of Acne

Long-Term Results Without Medication

Safe for All Skin Types & Tones

What Is AviClear?

AviClear is an advanced, energy-based laser treatment that selectively targets and suppresses overactive oil glands responsible for acne formation. Unlike traditional treatments that focus only on surface bacteria or inflammation, AviClear works beneath the skin, addressing one of the root causes of acne.

Key advantages of AviClear:

Treats mild, moderate, and severe inflammatory acne
Clinically proven long-term results
Safe for all skin types and tones
Drug-free and hormone-free
Minimal downtime

Why Choose AviClear for Acne?

Many acne treatments provide only temporary control. AviClear is designed to deliver lasting improvement with a short course of treatment.

Clinically Proven Results

80% of patients achieved at least a 50% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions
91% overall response rate at 3 months after the final treatment
Continued improvement seen at 6, 12 months, and beyond
87% patient satisfaction one month after completing treatment

Results vary by individual, but clinical data shows sustained acne reduction over time.

How Does AviClear Work?

AviClear delivers a precise laser wavelength that is absorbed by the sebaceous glands. This reduces oil production, which in turn:

Lowers pore congestion
Reduces inflammation
Helps prevent future breakouts

An integrated cooling system keeps the skin protected and comfortable throughout treatment.

Treatment Course

3 treatment sessions
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes
Sessions are spaced 3–4 weeks apart

During Treatment

The skin is cleansed and prepared
The laser is passed over the affected areas
Most patients describe a warming or snapping sensation
Cooling technology improves comfort during the procedure

After Treatment

Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually settles within hours
No downtime — most patients return to normal activities immediately

AviClear for Back Acne

Back acne, also known as bacne, is one of the most common and persistent forms of acne. The skin on the back has a higher density of sebaceous glands, making breakouts more frequent and harder to treat with topical creams or gels alone.

AviClear targets the sebaceous glands directly beneath the skin, reducing oil production across larger body areas just as effectively as it does on the face. This makes it a strong option for patients dealing with back, chest, or shoulder acne.

The same 3-session treatment course applies, with no downtime and continued improvement seen in the months following treatment.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for AviClear?

AviClear is suitable for a wide range of patients, including:

Adults with persistent acne
Teenagers struggling with inflammatory acne
Patients who have not responded well to antibiotics or topical treatments
Adult women with hormonal acne
Patients seeking a long-term, drug-free solution

A full consultation at Pulse Light Clinic will determine whether AviClear is the right option for your skin.

Safety Information

AviClear is a clinically studied and FDA-cleared treatment. Possible temporary side effects include:

Redness
Swelling
Mild discomfort
Temporary acne flare
Skin dryness

AviClear is not suitable during pregnancy or for patients with active skin cancer. All risks and contraindications will be discussed during your consultation.

Pulse Light Clinic Reviews

Marylebone Clinic

The ladies at the Marylebone Clinic reception (with particular reference to Summer) were lovely and accommodating, as was the nurse who did the treatment. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Nicole

Laser for stretch marks

I’ve just started laser treatment for stretch mark removal with Cherrie and although I can’t speak of the results yet, the process so far has been very straightforward. Cherrie took the time to explain the procedure in detail, gave tips for aftercare and reassured me that I was in good hands. I’m looking forward to seeing my marks improve and am interested in other treatments this fantastic clinic has to offer!

Frequently Asked Questions – AviClear® Acne Laser Treatment

What is the best laser treatment for acne?

AviClear® is the world’s first FDA-cleared laser designed specifically for the long-term treatment of inflammatory acne. Unlike treatments that target surface bacteria or inflammation alone, AviClear treats acne at the source by selectively suppressing the sebaceous (oil) glands, helping to reduce active breakouts and prevent future acne.

How does AviClear work for acne?

AviClear uses a precise laser wavelength that targets overactive oil glands beneath the skin. By reducing oil production, it helps prevent clogged pores, inflammation, and acne formation — without antibiotics or hormones.

Is AviClear safe for acne treatment?

Yes. AviClear is clinically studied and FDA-cleared, with a strong safety profile. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and suitable for all skin types and skin tones. Integrated cooling technology helps protect the skin and improve comfort during treatment.

How many AviClear sessions are needed?

Most patients require three treatment sessions, each lasting approximately 30 minutes, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. This treatment course is designed to deliver progressive and long-term acne improvement.

When will I see results from AviClear?

Some patients notice improvement within weeks, but results continue to develop over time. Clinical studies show significant acne reduction at 3 months, with ongoing improvement at 6 and 12 months following the final treatment session.

Can acne get worse before it gets better?

Yes. A temporary acne flare can occur early in treatment as the sebaceous glands respond to laser energy. This is normal and typically resolves on its own. Flares become less common with each subsequent treatment session.

Is AviClear suitable for adult acne and hormonal acne?

AviClear is suitable for both teenage and adult patients, including those with hormonal acne. It is particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded well to topical treatments, antibiotics, or who prefer a drug-free alternative.

Is there any downtime after AviClear treatment?

There is minimal to no downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves within hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Can AviClear replace acne medication?

AviClear is not a medication, but many patients choose it as an alternative to long-term antibiotics. Your practitioner will advise whether AviClear can complement or replace your current acne treatment plan.
