We love AviClear for providing an option for clients who prefer pill-free acne treatments, advanced laser acne therapies, and wish to treat acne quickly and intensively. The AviClear laser, used in conjunction with our clinic's specific approach and unique protocols, delivers excellent results for our clients.
One of the main culprits for acne formation is excessive oil production. Without an overproduction of oil, acne won't form in the first place. Similar to how lasers for hair removal target hair roots, the AviClear laser targets the oil in your glands. This balances oil production, preventing acne from forming.
During the treatment, we deliver a precise amount of energy directly to the depth of your skin where the oil glands are located. The laser beam reduces their activity and prevents the formation of microcomedones, the precursors to every type of acne.
Ensure everything you apply is non-comedogenic with our easy-to-use checker. We made it very easy for you to check if your skincare, makeup, and hair products are safe for your skin.
With true passion for the work we do and unlimited support for our clients.
Our clinic is situated in the heart of Manhattan – between Times Square and Bryant Park. We also help people in Brooklyn and all over the world virtually.

If your skin is irritated, dehydrated, or sensitive to acne topicals, stop using them for 2 weeks before the procedure and apply a generous layer of Vaseline every evening (we recommend the moisturizing ointment Vanicream). Vaseline won't clog pores and will help heal the skin quickly

My daughter was treated for acne at AcneClinicNYC, and I always wanted to try PRP for anti-aging (I’ve read a lot about it being the most gentle way of rejuvenation). Oh my gosh, I fell in love with this treatment. I do four sessions a year now and plan to stick with it. Every treatment feels like a breath of fresh air, and I can see how thankful my skin is: bright, tight, and lifted!
I came to AcneClinicNYC to treat my scars, and I also had acne at the time. Veronika said we should tackle the acne first. My skin cleared up fast, and then they did three PRP treatments. This got rid of all my acne scars. Now my skin is even-toned and smooth, and a lot of people have noticed.
I have been battling acne for the last 18 years. I have tried every single antibiotic, medication, crème, soap, topical, etc. you name it. I did see some results that I was actually pleased with while on Accutane/Isotretinoin.
