About the UltraClear Laser

UltraClear is a groundbreaking laser platform that can address multiple skin concerns in one treatment session. The UltraClear laser uses cold fiber laser technology to achieve its results, which means it uses controlled thermal energy while minimizing unwanted heat spread. This preserves the surrounding skin and tissues, allowing you to achieve more comprehensive results with less thermal damage or risk. We offer several different treatments using the UltraClear laser, each of which targets different skin concerns or regions of the face. These include our periocular laser treatment, 3DMIRACL®, Ultra & Clear, and Laser-Coring™.

Periocular Laser Treatment

The periocular region is the area of your face around the eyes. The skin in this area is thinner, making it one of the first places to show signs of aging. Hayley Johnson or Grace Reynoso can use the UltraClear laser to rejuvenate your periorbital region, restoring a more refreshed appearance to the area around the eyes.

3DMIRACL®

3DMIRACL® is an ablative and customizable treatment that can help eliminate visible dullness and damage. This treatment stimulates and enhances natural exfoliation, revealing the newer, fresher, and brighter skin underneath. It is the world’s first fiber laser operating at a 2910 nm wavelength, which closely aligns with water’s peak absorption for precise tissue interaction. This allows the laser to accurately ablate the outer layers of the skin at controlled depths while limiting unnecessary thermal spread. At the same time, it delivers controlled coagulation within the tissue to support hemostasis and promote optimal healing.

Ultra & Clear

Ultra & Clear are the two modes that the UltraClear Laser can perform in. Ultra targets the deeper, more significant skin concerns using 3DIntelliPulse technology. This stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin, proteins that are both essential for maintaining the health, firmness, and appearance of the skin. Clear mode uses cold fractional ablation to eliminate superficial skin concerns. This mode is ideal for targeting skin texturing, sun damage, and other light blemishes.

Laser-Coring™

Laser-Coring™ is an advanced treatment that can target deeper, more severe skin concerns by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. This treatment combines tissue coring and laser rejuvenation to revitalize your skin with less downtime or discomfort, allowing you to target deep wrinkles or scars with ease. (1)

Preparation

In preparation for your UltraClear laser treatment, Hayley Johnson or Grace Reynoso will provide instructions. These instructions are straightforward, but they may vary according to the details of your treatment plan. Common preparation steps include:

  • Augmenting your skincare routine to avoid using harsh or irritating products, such as retinoids or exfoliants.
  • Protecting your skin with sunscreen and moisturizer every time you leave your home.
  • Avoiding direct or excessive sun exposure.

You will also need to arrive at your appointment with clean skin that is free from any residual makeup or skin care products. Preparation is an essential part of any treatment or procedure, no matter how significant or subtle you want your results to be. By following each instruction, you can ensure the best possible results.

Procedure

Your UltraClear laser treatment will begin with a member of our team cleansing your skin before they apply a topical anesthetic to enhance your comfort. Hayley Johnson and Grace Reynoso will customize the settings of the laser according to your skin type, skin tone, and the concerns they are addressing.

Hayley Johnson and Grace Reynoso will use a handheld device to administer the laser energy to your skin, passing it over the targeted areas to ensure even treatment. Depending on your specific goals and settings, the laser will either heat the underlying layers of tissue, remove the outermost layer of skin, or both. Once Hayley Johnson and Grace Reynoso address the entirety of the treatment area, they will apply a soothing ointment or cream to calm your skin. From there, you will be free to return to your daily routine.

Recovery

Recovering from an UltraClear treatment is fairly minimal, as this laser is gentler and less invasive than many others.

After your treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling in the treated areas. These effects will subside on their own within several days to weeks. You may also experience some light flaking or peeling if you receive a deeper treatment. (2)

During this time, you should avoid wearing makeup and using irritating skin products that may affect your skin’s barrier. It is also important that you protect your skin with moisturizers and sunscreen, especially when leaving the house. Either Hayley Johnson and Grace Reynoso will provide a full set of detailed recovery instructions to help you care for yourself as your skin heals.

Results

You will be able to see the initial results of your UltraClear laser treatment after any residual side effects subside, but your final results may take time to develop as your internal collagen levels gradually increase. After a few weeks, you will be able to enjoy smoother, firmer, and clearer skin. Depending on your goals, we may recommend that you return for additional treatments, with most patients seeing their ideal results after a series of regular treatment sessions.
