Experience Skin Clarity with Cutera AviClear

Cutera AviClear at Harley Street Injectables is a laser treatment for stubborn acne that works on the oil glands themselves, instead of relying on months of pills or layers of strong creams. The aim is simple: calm down breakouts, cut how often they come back, and help your skin look clearer and more settled over time.

Understanding Acne and Its Impact:

Acne doesn’t just hit teenagers – a lot of adults still deal with regular spots, sore breakouts or constant congestion. Things like blocked pores, hormones, stress, diet and day‑to‑day habits can all play a part, which is why it can be so frustrating to manage.

AviClear goes straight for one of the main culprits: the sebaceous (oil) glands. It uses a very specific light wavelength to pick these glands out and turn their activity down, so there’s less excess oil feeding new spots, without needing traditional acne medication.

The Science Behind Cutera AviClear:

During treatment, the AviClear handpiece delivers pulses of light energy into the skin that are absorbed by the oil glands. This gently heats them and, over time, leads to a lasting drop in oil production, which means pores are less likely to clog and inflame.

Because the focus is on changing how the glands behave, improvements can keep building after a short course of sessions, rather than wearing off straight away.

YOUR JOURNEY to Clearer Skin

At Harley Street Injectables, you start with a chat and skin assessment so the team can see what type of acne you have and what you’ve already tried. A doctor or registered nurse will then suggest how many AviClear sessions you’re likely to need and how far apart to space them.

Each visit is usually around 30 minutes, and most people describe the feeling as a brief snap or warmth on the skin rather than real pain. You walk out without bandages or downtime, so it’s easy to fit around work or study.

EXPERT CARE BY OUR MEDICAL TEAM

Treatment is overseen by a Medical Director and carried out by experienced doctors and registered nurses who work with skin and lasers every day. Your plan is put together around your skin type, how severe your acne is and what you want to achieve, rather than using a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

PREPARATION AND AFTERCARE

You’ll be asked to come in with clean, makeup‑free skin and to skip active skincare products and heavy sun exposure just before your session. After treatment, daily broad‑spectrum SPF, plenty of hydration and avoiding harsh or very “active” products for a few days will help your skin settle comfortably and support the best result.
