FAQs
What makes UltraClear different from other laser treatments?
UltraClear sets itself apart with its innovative cold fiber laser technology, which delivers precise energy with minimal heat. Unlike traditional lasers that cause more discomfort and longer recovery, UltraClear’s 3DIntelliPulse® technology minimizes thermal damage while effectively treating multiple skin concerns. It is also one of the few lasers that is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones that were previously challenging to treat with older laser technologies.
How does UltraClear work?
UltraClear also stimulates collagen and elastin production more effectively by combining ablative and coagulative energy. This process enhances natural skin healing, helping to reduce wrinkles, improve texture, and fade pigmentation while protecting surrounding tissue. The result? Faster recovery, long-lasting results, and a smoother, more youthful complexion.
What skin concerns can UltraClear treat?
UltraClear is a versatile treatment that can address:
✔ Fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Sun damage, pigment and age spots
✔ Acne scars and other types of scarring
✔ Uneven skin tone and texture
✔ Red and brown discoloration (vascular dyschromia)
✔ General skin rejuvenation and “prejuvenation“ to prevent early signs of aging
What is the treatment experience like? Does it hurt?
UltraClear treatments are designed to be quick, comfortable, and effective:
- Session length: A full-face treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes.
- Pain level: Most patients report mild discomfort (0-5 on a 10-point scale)—much lower than traditional laser treatments.
- After treatment: You may experience temporary redness and mild peeling, similar to a sunburn. A more aggressive treatment may have a few days of downtime.
How long does recovery take, and when will I see results?
Recovery depends on the depth of your treatment:
- Light resurfacing: 2-4 days of mild redness and peeling.
- Deeper treatments: 3-5 days of more noticeable peeling and redness before revealing dramatically smoother skin.
Results continue to improve for months, as collagen and elastin rebuild. With deeper treatments, skin continues to improve for up to a year, and results can last 1-5 years.
Is UltraClear safe for all skin types?
Yes! UltraClear’s precision energy control and cold ablation technology make it one of the safest lasers for all skin tones, including darker skin types that were previously at higher risk for laser complications for all modes except Laser-Coring™ . By minimizing excess heat, UltraClear reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation, making it a great option for a diverse range of patients.
