Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

AviClear Left Awful Scars and Did Nothing for Acne
It’s been 8 months since I made the terrible mistake of doing AviClear and it took me this long to write a review about it as it really left me traumatized.
Less than a day after my treatment my entire face erupted in pustules. It damaged my skin such that I had horrible pitted scarring that even 8 months later are not yet gone (though have improved very slowly). On top of this, it had zero improvement to my acne. Even worse, throughout the entire thing Cutera kept insisting it was normal purging reaction!! Which was utterly absurd. The NP at the clinic I went to spent 6 months convincing them to give me my money back.
I keep seeing Cutera claim no side effect, risks, and it makes me so angry. I’ve seen several other people review this happened to them too. This risk needs to be disclosed!! This is why I’m trying to spread the word!
I would strongly recommend you don’t try this treatment!! This is your face, it’s not worth the risk of this kind of thing happening. Anyone with acne can understand how devastating it can be and I was left with a face much worse off. My acne was mild-to-moderate but it never scared my face and after this I get horrible scars plus no acne improvement. Don’t do it!! Don’t trust Cutera! Bunch of greedy people who don’t even care what kind of emotional trauma they cause.
I hope this review will help prevent someone else from going through what I went through.
