Welcome to our Acne Clinic at NSDL

What is Acne?

Acne is a very common skin condition that is identified by the presence of comedones (blackhead and whiteheads), as well as papules (red bumps) and pustules (pus-filled spots). It can be mild, moderate or severe but no matter what type it is it can have a huge impact on self-esteem.

Acne can in some cases lead to lifelong scarring. Early intervention for acne is essential to help prevent permanent scarring.

Dermatologists are experts in the management of acne and will tailor your treatment to your individual needs. Acne is a complex disease and treatments that offer long term cure are better than some techniques that improve your acne for a short period only.

AviClear Acne Laser Treatment

The latest TGA-approved energy device for acne.

Northern Sydney Dermatology & Laser now has the groundbreaking laser for acne called the AviClear. This is the latest innovation in acne treatment that is transforming the way we approach the root cause of acne.

AviClear is not just any laser treatment device; it’s a pioneering solution that offers hope and results for those struggling with all forms of acne.

AviClear stands out as the first and original FDA and TGA-cleared energy device designed to treat mild, moderate and severe acne. Utilising a unique 1726 nm wavelength, the AviClear targets acne at its source by selectively targeting and suppressing the sebaceous gland. This process significantly reduces sebum production, a key factor in the development of acne, providing long-term clearance and relief.

• Effective Results: clinical studies have shown significant improvement in acne symptoms, with patients experiencing a reduction in the frequency and severity of breakouts.

• Non-Invasive: AviClear is a non-surgical treatment, making it a great option for those seeking an alternative to medications and topical treatments.

• Safe for All Skin Types: The treatment is suitable for various skin types, ensuring that a wide range of patients can benefit from its effects.

• Minimal Downtime: Patients can resume their normal activities almost immediately, with minimal side effects or discomfort.

Aviclear is suitable for patients looking for a safe and effective alternative to traditional acne treatments, especially those who prefer to avoid medications or have found other treatments ineffective.

The treatment program consists of three 45-minute sessions, spaced about one month apart. You need to complete all three treatments for acne clearance.

While many patients start to see improvement within three months after their third AviClear treatment, some may notice results sooner. It’s important to note that the response to treatment can vary, with some patients experiencing improvement after six months. About 90% of patients have clearance at 9 months.
