Get clearer skin in just three quick treatment sessions. At our offices in Highland Park & Glenview AviClear improves acne in the long term by slowing down the production of oil in your skin. The AviClear platform uses laser light to inhibit the sebum glands so they cannot produce as much of the oil that leads to clogged pores and acne breakouts. AviClear is non-invasive and requires zero creams or medications. It works on mild, moderate, and severe acne, providing clear skin that lasts.
Meet Your Breakout Blocker
If you’ve been dealing with acne that just won’t quit—whether it’s mild, moderate, or severe—you know how frustrating it can be. That’s where AviClear comes in. It’s a laser treatment that zeroes in on the sebaceous glands, the part of your skin that produces oil, and helps turn the volume way down on breakouts.
AviClear is the first FDA-cleared laser treatment specifically for acne. And it doesn’t just help temporarily—it actually helps reduce oil production long-term, which means fewer flare-ups and less frustration. Unlike pills or topicals, this is a non-invasive treatment that works beneath the surface. And because it’s safe for all skin tones and types, it’s a solid option no matter where you fall on the skin spectrum.
More Than Just Acne
AviClear is made for acne, but it comes with some pretty great bonus perks. This treatment doesn’t just clear up your skin—it helps calm it, balance it, and improve how it looks and feels overall. If you’ve been dealing with any of these, AviClear might be your new favorite go-to:
Bottom line: it’s not just about clearing acne. It’s about helping your skin look smoother, feel more balanced, and chill out a bit.
Who It Works Best For
You don’t have to have severe acne to benefit from AviClear. If you’re over breakouts—whether they’re mild, moderate, or popping up like clockwork every month—this could be a game-changer. You’re probably a good fit if:
There are a few situations where we might hold off—like if you’re pregnant, super sensitive to light, or have specific skin conditions we need to talk about first. But that’s exactly why we do a consultation. It’s all about finding what works best for you.
Getting Ready is Easy
The first step for AviClear Highland Park patients is a consultation at Skin Deep Medical Spa. It gives us a chance to really understand your skin. We’ll look at what you’re dealing with—whether it’s occasional acne, stubborn cysts, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—and walk you through how AviClear fits into your skincare goals. Prepping for the treatment is low-key:
What Your Visit Looks Like
Each AviClear session takes about 30 minutes—just enough time to scroll through your messages and catch up on some low-stakes TikToks. Here’s what goes down:
You’ll come back for a total of three treatments, usually spaced about a month apart. This spacing helps your skin adjust gradually and gives you better, more lasting results.
Your Skin, But Glowing
Most people notice small changes after their first session—like fewer bumps or less oil—but things really start to shift after the third visit. It’s kind of like your skin slowly starts forgetting how to break out. And once those results kick in? They last. A lot of people stay breakout-free for up to two years. That means no more chasing the next cleanser or prescription, no more emergency concealer runs, and definitely fewer skin-related stress moments.
No Downtime, No Stress
This is one of the best parts: there’s basically no downtime. You might be a little red right after, or you could see a mini purge phase where breakouts come to the surface before disappearing. Totally normal and usually pretty mild. We’ll send you home with a few skincare tips—like sticking to gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers—and you’re good to go. You can wear makeup the next day, hit the gym, or go about your regular skincare routine without any drama.

Let’s Talk Price + Value
AviClear isn’t the cheapest acne treatment out there—but it’s one of the most effective, especially when you think about how long the results last. For most people, a full series of three treatments costs between $3,000 and $3,900. That includes:
It’s an investment, but for many, it’s the end of the acne rollercoaster. And when you’re not spending on new serums every month or dealing with the stress of surprise breakouts, it starts to feel pretty worth it.
Most people need three sessions, spaced about a month apart.
