I came to Self London to reduce the appearance of scarring after working with the incredible team at Self London to clear up my acne around 18 months ago. The team are amazing and they made me feel completely confident and comfortable throughout the laser treatment process.

Wow, what a stunning clinic and refreshing, holistic ethos! Without a doubt, Dr Anjali Mahto is the best Dermatologist in London – her expertise in acne, scarring and laser treatments is phenomenal. A friendly, welcoming team with all the latest devices on the market (such as AviClear, Sofwave, UltraClear etc) and aesthetic treatments to boot; all under one beautifully Instagrammable roof!

I have had 3 profractional laser treatments for acne scarring, with really good results. This year was the first time I went to the beach without makeup, it was such a lovely feeling. I am so grateful for Dr Mahto‘s expertise and Katie’s guidance with aftercare! Really enjoy coming to clinic, and I am always treated so well and looked after. I would really recommend this clinic for acne scar treatment!

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?

Most patients require a course of three AviClear sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart, for best results. Your dermatologist will advise if additional treatments are needed depending on your skin type and severity of acne.

AviClear is designed with comfort in mind. Patients may feel a warm sensation during treatment, but the system includes cooling technology to keep discomfort minimal. Most describe it as mild and very tolerable.

Some patients experience what’s known as a “purge” phase, where the skin temporarily breaks out as oil glands adjust. This is short-lived and usually followed by clearer, calmer skin as the results develop.

Improvements can be seen as early as a few weeks after treatment, with results continuing to build over 3-6 months as oil gland activity reduces. Many patients notice their skin becoming less oily, with fewer and less severe breakouts over time.

Yes. AviClear targets and reduces overactive sebaceous glands, which means results are designed to be long-term and sustainable. Many patients continue to experience clearer skin even years after completing treatment.
