My AviClear Journey: A Dermal Therapist’s Personal Experience

As a dermal therapist, I’ve always been deeply invested in finding the most effective skin solutions—not just for my clients, but for myself too. Acne has been a long, frustrating battle in my life. I’ve tried it all: lasers, prescription medications, topical treatments, and endless peels. Some worked temporarily, others not at all. I was constantly searching for that one treatment that could really make a long-term difference.

When AviClear launched in the US four years ago, I was immediately intrigued. A laser treatment designed specifically to treat acne by targeting the sebaceous glands without needing medication? It sounded revolutionary—and honestly, too good to be true. I watched its rise closely, read every study, followed patient journeys, and even considered flying to the States just to try it myself. That’s how hopeful I was.

Fast forward to five months ago, I finally had my first AviClear treatment here in Australia in clinic! I was excited but cautiously optimistic. My skin had been through so much already that I didn’t expect miracles—but I was ready to give this a real shot.

The treatment itself is spicy. There’s a warming sensation as the laser targets the oil glands, but it’s manageable with the use of numbing creams and happy gas. I followed the post-care instructions religiously and waited. Like many patients, I noticed a bit of purging in the weeks following my first session, which is totally normal as the skin adjusts. But then, around the two-month mark, something changed.

The constant, stubborn congestion around my jawline began to clear. I wasn’t getting those deep, inflamed breakouts like before. My skin felt calmer, smoother, and I was using less makeup than I had in years. Now, five months after starting the journey, I can honestly say AviClear has made a real difference.

What I love most is that this treatment addresses the root cause of acne—overactive oil production—without relying on medication or harsh topicals. For someone like me, who has been through the cycle of antibiotics, retinoids, and everything in between, that’s huge.

I’m still on my AviClear journey, as it takes around 9 months to see the final changes, but the results I’ve seen so far give me so much hope—not just for my skin, but for my clients, too. It’s exciting to finally have a treatment that’s truly changing the game for acne.

If you’ve been struggling with breakouts and feel like you’ve tried everything, I highly recommend looking into AviClear. It might just be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for—just like I was.
