The Science Behind AviClear: Why This Acne Laser Treatment Stands Out

What Makes AviClear Different?

Traditional acne treatments primarily focus on reducing bacteria, exfoliating dead skin cells, or controlling inflammation. While these methods can help manage breakouts, they often don’t address the core issue: excess sebum (oil) production.

AviClear is unique because it directly targets and suppresses the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing sebum. Excessive oil can clog pores, creating an environment where acne-causing bacteria thrive. By reducing oil production, AviClear helps prevent breakouts before they even begin.

The secret to AviClear’s success lies in its 1726 nm laser technology—a wavelength specifically designed to selectively target sebaceous glands without damaging the surrounding skin​.

How AviClear Works: The Science Behind the Laser

1. Selective Photothermolysis: Precision at Its Best

AviClear utilises a process called selective photothermolysis, which means the laser energy is precisely absorbed by the sebaceous glands without harming surrounding tissue. This ensures effective acne treatment with minimal side effects.

Other light-based acne treatments, such as blue light or IPL (intense pulsed light), primarily target bacteria and inflammation but do not directly impact oil production​. AviClear’s 1726 nm wavelength is unique in its ability to penetrate deeply and impact sebaceous glands at the source.

2. Long-Term Sebum Reduction

The key to lasting acne control is reducing excess oil. Unlike temporary solutions, AviClear delivers long-term results by modifying sebaceous gland activity. Over time, the glands produce significantly less oil, leading to:

• Fewer breakouts
• Reduced skin congestion
• Smoother, clearer skin texture

3. No Damage, No Downtime

Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, AviClear is designed for comfort and safety. The integrated cooling system ensures the skin remains protected throughout the treatment.

Most clients experience only mild warmth or tingling during the session, and because the procedure is non-invasive, there’s no downtime required​.

The AviClear Treatment Process

For those considering AviClear, here’s a breakdown of what a typical treatment plan looks like:

• Three Treatment Sessions – AviClear is typically performed in a series of three sessions, each lasting approximately 30 minutes, spaced about a month apart.
• Non-Invasive & Comfortable – The treatment is well-tolerated, with only mild discomfort reported.
• No Recovery Time – Clients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
• Progressive Improvement – Skin clarity continues to improve over time, with optimal results visible after three to six months​.

Who Can Benefit from AviClear?

AviClear is an excellent option for individuals struggling with mild to severe acne, including:

✔ Teenagers and adults experiencing persistent breakouts

✔ Clients who have not responded well to topical or oral medications

✔ Those looking for a drug-free, long-term acne solution

✔ Those going through peri/menopause & hormonal acne

✔ People with acne on the face, back, chest, or shoulders

Because AviClear is safe for all skin types and tones, it is an inclusive treatment option for anyone looking to achieve clearer, healthier skin.
