Using the ground-breaking new AviClear technology, we work to eliminate acne and clear the skin. AviClear is FDA approved and the only laser of its kind that is able to selectively target sebaceous glands to reduce the excessive production of sebum. Clinical trials have shown AviClear Acne Facial to be as effective as Roaccutane, but without the side effects. The treatment programme is a course of 3 sessions, 1 per month.Â

All our laser treatments require a consultation and patch-test prior to full treatment. This enables you to ask any questions you may have, prepare your skin for the treatment and to try the laser out, so that you know what to expect during your treatment and recovery. The patch-test also enables us to identify which laser settings will work best for you.
On the day of your Acne Facial treatment your doctor/therapist will assess how your skin felt after the patch-test. After completing the consent form and photography, the doctor/therapist will clean the skin (so don’t worry if you have makeup on), give you special goggles to wear and carry out the treatment according to the settings we identified during your patch-test. After the treatment we will cool the skin and apply aftercare serums to promote skin healing and SPF to protect the skin. We recommend simple moisturisers and daily sunblock after treatment.
Multiple areas on the face and body.
AviClear is FDA approved for the treatment of acne with evidence of effectiveness from a range of clinical studies.
Usually 3
Within weeks
Long lasting
The treatment is well tolerated with minimal pain
There is some mild redness, swelling and skin sensitivity (like a mild sunburn) for 1-3 days after laser treatment. These side-effects are generally mild and most people will be able to continue with normal daily routines.
Laser treatments are carried out by our experienced skin therapists and doctors.
We recommend that you pause any treatments like retinol, tretinoin, glycolic or tetracycline antibiotics for 7 days prior treatment, as they make the skin more sensitive to light. We recommend that you do not tan for at least 4 weeks prior to and for at least 6 weeks after this treatment.
