Consultations Available in BrisbaneAviClear™ Laser Brisbane

AviClear™ is an advanced laser platform that emits pulses of light at a wavelength specifically absorbed by sebaceous glands. Using a precise 1726 nm wavelength, the device delivers targeted light energy to sebaceous glands — the structures responsible for producing skin oils — to help regulate their activity. This energy converts to heat within the gland, gently altering its activity without damaging surrounding skin tissue. The procedure aims to assist in regulating oil production and may help reduce factors associated with acne-prone skin.

Because the laser targets deeper layers of the skin, it bypasses the surface and avoids the widespread heating seen with some traditional devices. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of skin tones and types, including those with higher melanin levels.

AviClear™ is approved for use under medical supervision in Australia and has been cleared for dermatological indications involving sebaceous gland activity.

How AviClear™ Works

During treatment, the AviClear™ laser delivers light pulses that travel through the epidermis and are selectively absorbed by the sebaceous glands. This light energy is converted into heat, leading to controlled modulation of gland activity.

By helping to normalise oil production, the procedure may assist in reducing the frequency of breakouts and supporting long-term skin balance.
Because the treatment does not rely on medications or topical chemicals, it can be an option for patients seeking a non-pharmacological, device-based approach to acne-prone skin management.

The laser’s built-in AviCool™ sapphire cooling system helps maintain comfort and protect the skin’s surface during each pulse.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before Treatment
A consultation with Dr Scott Allison or a trained clinician is required to evaluate your skin type, acne severity, medical history, and suitability for AviClear™. This assessment helps determine your treatment parameters and number of sessions required.

During Treatment
The AviClear™ handpiece delivers laser light through brief pulses to targeted areas. You may feel a mild warmth or tingling sensation, but the integrated cooling system minimises discomfort. Each session typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

After Treatment
Mild redness or sensitivity can occur immediately after treatment and generally subsides within a few hours to a day. Your clinician will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support recovery and help protect the treated skin.

Suitable Candidates for AviClear™

AviClear™ may be considered for adolescent and adult patients with acne-prone skin, including those experiencing frequent breakouts or oil-related congestion. Suitability depends on:

• The type and severity of acne

• Skin tone and sensitivity

• Current medications or medical conditions

• History of scarring, inflammation, or previous treatments

Because AviClear™ is non-invasive and drug-free, it may be an option for those seeking a non-medicated approach to managing acne-prone skin. All patients are assessed individually to determine whether this procedure aligns with their treatment goals and medical history.
