ORA Exclusive | Clarity 4
Advanced, multi-technology system for active breakouts and inflammatory skin
Clarity 4 is ORA’s evidence-based approach to managing active breakouts, congestion and inflammatory skin conditions including acne and acne-rosacea.
Designed for skin that is reactive, unpredictable or prone to flare, this multi-step treatment works across the surface and deeper layers of the skin to calm inflammation, regulate oil flow, refine texture and support long-term skin barrier function.
Rather than relying on a single modality, Clarity Protocol combines targeted exfoliation with advanced laser, ultrasound and bio-stimulation technologies to address the biological drivers of breakouts, including excess sebum, inflammation, impaired barrier function and disrupted cellular energy. Each treatment is fully customised based on skin behaviour at the time of visit, allowing the protocol to be used both as a structured course or as an ad-hoc intervention during periods of flare or congestion.
Thoughtfully layered and medically led, Clarity Protocol is designed to restore balance to troubled skin while protecting integrity and minimising downtime.
Corrective Peel
Refining, Brightening and Preparing the Skin
Clarity Protocol is built around the principle that breakout-prone skin requires regulation, not aggression. Each session incorporates a controlled corrective peel followed by a carefully sequenced combination of light-based and bio-stimulatory technologies, selected to calm inflammation, refine pores and support healing at a cellular level.
BroadBand Light
Target acne bacteria
Targeted broadband light technology is used within the protocol specifically in its acne-focused setting. This delivers precise light energy to acne-associated bacteria while gently warming the superficial dermis. By reducing bacterial load and calming inflammatory activity, this approach helps suppress active blemishes, minimise redness associated with breakouts and support clearer skin over time, without triggering unnecessary skin stress. By increasing cellular energy, the skin is placed into an optimal state for healing and renewal before microneedling begins.
Clinically, this step helps to calm inflammation, reduce redness and strengthen the skin barrier, while biologically it supports cellular longevity and resilience. Red light encourages collagen and elastin production, while near-infrared light penetrates more deeply to enhance circulation and oxygen delivery, supporting skin health at a foundational level.
Thermal Stimulation
Reduce Pore Visibility & Redness
Laser-based dermal heating further enhances the protocol by stimulating controlled collagen remodelling and improving skin texture without disrupting the skin barrier. This low-impact thermal stimulation has been shown to downregulate inflammatory mediators, support wound repair and refine pore appearance, making it particularly suitable for congested yet sensitive or reactive skin types.
Dynamic Ultrasound & Cold Laser
Reduce Inflammation & Energise for Repair
A combination of Low-frequency dynamic ultrasound technology and Cold Laser play a key role in the Clarity Protocol.
Published clinical research demonstrates that specific ultrasound frequencies can down-regulate inflammatory pathways, enhance lymphatic drainage and temporarily increase cell membrane permeability, improving skin calmness and tolerance. This makes it especially valuable in reactive, rosacea-prone and hormonally unstable skin.
Achieve Clear, Balanced Skin
Clarity4 Suitability
Clarity4 is suitable for adults experiencing active acne, persistent congestion, inflammatory breakouts or acne-rosacea, including those who struggle with traditional treatments or react easily to skincare products. It is particularly well suited to patients seeking visible improvement without aggressive downtime or barrier disruption.
For best results, Clarity4 is typically recommended as a series of treatments, with timing tailored on a case-by-case basis depending on skin activity, severity and tolerance.
That said, it may also be used as a standalone treatment during periods of flare, congestion or heightened inflammation when skin needs targeted intervention and rapid calming.
Patients can expect progressive improvements in clarity, redness, texture and skin resilience, alongside a reduction in the frequency and intensity of breakouts over time. As with all ORA treatments, the protocol is integrated into a wider skin plan, ensuring results are supported by appropriate homecare and long-term skin strategy.
Clarity Protocol reflects ORA’s commitment to regenerative, evidence-led skin health, combining advanced technology with clinical judgement to deliver results that are both effective and skin respectful.
