How does AviClear acne treatment work?
AviClear works by targeting the source of oil in your skin. By allowing your skin to create less oil, there’s less oil to clog your pores and cause acne. Equipped with exclusive AviCool skin cooling and sensory controls, AviClear maintains skin temperature for a more comfortable treatment experience.
AviClear is one of the only acne treatments that actually targets the root cause of acne by eliminating excess sebum.

Laser Acne Treatment FAQs
There are many different causes of acne breakouts. The key causes of acne include excess oil (sebum) production, clogged hair follicles, and bacteria. Hormone changes, certain medications, stress, and diet can trigger or worsen acne, as well.
The best way to find out if your acne is bacterial or hormonal is to work with a skincare expert. Some signals you can look for is how severe the acne is, especially during times of hormone changes/imbalance (think puberty), and how well topical treatments resolve the issues.
AviClear is a laser treatment that can safely and effectively treat all skin types and can be used on all acne severities.
AviClear targets acne at the source. This revolutionary laser treatment uses a 1726nm wavelength to selectively target and down regulate the sebaceous glands. Overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands is one of the leading causes of acne.
The typical AviClear protocol is three 30-minute treatment sessions over 3 months.
Unlike most traditional acne treatments, AviClear is free of harmful side effects, free of chemicals and toxins, and safe for all skin types and tones. After treatment, mild symptoms such as redness, inflammation and flareups are normal but fade quickly.
Yes! AviClear can be used on both adolescents and adult patients who are suffering from mild, moderate and severe acne.
AviClear is equipped with exclusive AviCool™ sapphire skin cooling and sensory controls that maintain your skin’s temperature during treatment for a more comfortable experience!
