UltraClear Laser Rejuvenation

UltraClear is an innovative, minimally invasive laser-based skin rejuvenation treatment. Utilizing first-of-its-kind cold fiber laser technology, UltraClear effectively addresses multiple skin concerns.

UltraClear is the first fractional laser that is FDA approved for all skin tone and types. The laser delivers precise energy to the skin, initiating a peeling process that stimulates natural healing and collagen production leading to improved skin texture and appearance. Unlike traditional ablative laser resurfacing treatments, UltraClear uses a cold laser to revitalize all skin types in the safest way with minimal discomfort and downtime.

What are the Benefits of UltraClear?

UltraClear is a versatile treatment with the ability to address numerous issues simultaneously, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, UltraClear helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a smoother and more youthful complexion.
  • Pigmentation: The laser effectively treats hyperpigmentation, age spots (benign cosmetic keratoses), sunspots, and uneven skin tone caused by prolonged UV exposure.
  • Acne scars: Fractional laser technology targets scar tissue, promoting skin remodeling and reducing the visibility of acne scars.
  • Skin texture: UltraClear improves overall skin texture by addressing roughness, enlarged pores, and other surface irregularities.
  • Skin tightening: By boosting collagen and elastin, the treatment enhances skin elasticity and firmness.
  • Redness and rosacea: UltraClear’s precision allows it to target redness and inflammation, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin conditions.

How Does UltraClear Work?

UltraClear utilizes fractional laser technology, which creates microthermal zones of energy within the skin. These microscopic channels stimulate the natural healing process of the skin without causing extensive damage to surrounding tissues. Depending on the modality selected by your provider, the laser’s wavelength ranges from superficial epidermis repair to penetrating deep into the dermis, triggering collagen and elastin production while encouraging cell turnover.

In addition to cold-laser rejuvenation, UltraClear also offers laser-coring, an advanced technique that leads to outstanding cosmetic results, particularly for deep wrinkles and deep scars, helping patients achieve smoother, younger-looking skin.

Each treatment is customizable by the practitioner to tailor the intensity and depth of the laser to suit individual skin concerns and types. This adaptability ensures that the procedure is both safe and effective for a wide range of patients.

How long is a treatment session?

A typical UltraClear session is usually 30 minutes or less, depending on the size of the treatment area and the severity of the skin concerns. Smaller areas, such as the face or neck, may take less time, while larger areas like the chest or back require a longer session. Most patients find the treatment quick and convenient, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

Who is an ideal candidate for UltraClear?

Thanks to its highly customizable settings, UltraClear is suitable for all skin types and skin tones. Ideal candidates are overall healthy individuals who wish to address:

  • Moderate signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars or other skin texture issues
  • Discoloration or pigmentation issues
  • Skin sagging or laxity

One of the greatest features of UltraClear, unlike most laser technologies, is its ability to treat individuals of any skin tone or skin type with low risk of unwanted pigmentation side effects or irritation. UltraClear safely delivers amazing results no matter the skin type.

Are Multiple Treatments Required?

Most patients will realize notable results after a single treatment. However, the number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual’s skin condition and desired results, as well as the type of treatment performed. Depending on individual need, some patients may require multiple treatment sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal outcomes. Our skilled providers will assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results from UltraClear treatments are long-lasting, especially when combined with a good skincare routine that includes sun protection. Most patients notice improvements in skin appearance for up to 2 years after completing their treatment series. Periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain results over a longer duration.

Is UltraClear Painful?

UltraClear utilizes a “cold” laser, making it a relatively painless procedure for most patients. Depending on the treatment area and depth, topical anesthetics like numbing cream are not always necessary. Most patients rate UltraClear low on the pain scale (a score of less than 3 on a scale of 10) and cite only mild tingling along the skin as the treatment is performed.

What to Expect Immediately After Treatment

One of the major benefits of the UltraClear laser is minimal downtime. Here is what to generally expect (though recovery varies per individual, and depends on the treatment modality used):

  • Immediately after treatment: Mild redness and warmth, like the feeling of a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
  • Next few days: Slight dryness or flaking as the skin renews itself. Moisturizers and gentle cleansers can help alleviate discomfort.
  • A week later: Most patients are fully recovered within 3 to 7 days, during which the texture and tone of the skin visibly improve.

Patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen diligently during the healing process.

Are There Side Effects?

UltraClear treatments are generally considered very safe, with minimal risks when performed by a qualified practitioner and recommended aftercare instructions are followed. Potential side effects may include:

  • Temporary redness, swelling, or itching
  • Mild peeling or flaking as the skin heals
  • Rarely, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in individuals with darker skin tones, which can be minimized with proper post-care
