Treat Acne at the Source

Overproduction of sebum is one of the leading causes of acne.1 AviClear selectively delivers energy, in the form of light, to the sebaceous gland, damaging the sebocytes and reducing sebum production, treating acne at the source.2 See how it works.

How does acne form?

To understand how AviClear works, it’s important to understand how breakouts happen. Acne forms when sebum, the oily substance on your skin, combines with dead skin cells and clogs your pores.2 Most acne treatments target other things that cause acne, but not the production of sebum.3

Clear answers to your questions

How many treatments are needed?

Three, quick 30-minute treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Do I need to do all three treatments?

Yes, you need to complete all three treatment sessions to effectively reduce sebocyte activity.

What does the treatment feel like?

AviClear is equipped with exclusive AviCool™ skin cooling and sensory controls that maintain your skin’s temperature during treatment for a safe experience.3 During treatment, you may notice a snapping sensation.

What should I expect after treatment?

After the AviClear treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling from one hour up to two days.4 Acne flare-ups may occur, but are temporary and should resolve with time.5 We recommend applying SPF 30+ sun protection daily throughout your treatment series.

When can I see results?

92% of patients treated with AviClear saw at least half of their inflammatory acne resolved at 12 months after their final treatment session.6 Individual results and experiences may vary.

I’m still breaking out after my treatment! Is this normal?

Yes! An acne flare post-treatment is completely normal. We recommend working with your provider to address any concerns about flaring.
