UltraClear® Cold-Fiber Laser Resurfacing

UltraClear® is the NEXT GENERATION, FIRST- OF-ITS-KIND “COLD FIBER” LASER.

What’s so cool about “cold fiber?”…. well, everything!  Ever since the first resurfacing laser was invented in the 1990’s, the goal has been to figure out how to remove the excess heat that the lasers delivered that necessitated numbing cream, and also led to prolonged healing times.

UltraClear®’s trademarked 3D MiraclTM procedure is the FIRST no-numbing-required laser resurfacing procedure in the world.  Laser energy is delivered to the target tissue without excess heat: no-downtime results of the 15 minute 3D MiraclTM treatment include evening out brown and red spots, shrinking pore size appearance, and giving skin a luminous glow.

The UltraClear® laser also has SO many other incredible applications.  UltraClear® can be used not only to deliver no-downtime superficial skin resurfacing; it can also penetrate the skin as deep as any other laser, including CO2, for deep wrinkle removal and skin tightening, ALL WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS HEALING TIME.

For a stronger treatment setting that tightens the skin above the upper lip, we opt for the UltraClear®’s deepest settings, which target those upper lip lines that bother so many women!

More aggressive UltraClear® treatments require about one week of healing time.

What is 3DMiraclTM?

3DMiraclTM is a painless “lunchtime” treatment that triggers natural exfoliation and gently peels off the surface layer of dull and damaged skin, stimulating new cells & revealing silky soft and smooth skin that glows! 

3DMiraclTM is the first medical laser treatment that provides a quick and comfortable solution for patients who desire maintenance collagen stimulating treatments, improved skin tone (“no makeup required”), and smaller appearing pores.

Patients have reported a quick recovery with benefits of their skin appearing more youthful (“airbrushed”) & brighter overall, with the added benefit of reduced appearance of pores.

Who is a Good Candidate for UltraClear® Laser Resurfacing?

Unlike previous resurfacing lasers,  UltraClear® can be used on ALL skin types.  In the past, excess heat that resurfacing lasers delivered made resurfacing unsuitable for anyone with a darker skin tone due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots).  The reduction in heat delivery with UltraClearTM also makes it applicable for melasma.

You are a good candidate for UltraClear® laser resurfacing if you have:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes and/or mouth
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Scars, including acne scars
  • Prominent pores and coarse skin texture

UltraClear® is also great for preventative maintenance!
