An Exciting New Technology
There is an exciting new development in laser skin resurfacing known as the UltraClear™’ laser. The UltraClear™ laser represents the first major development in the laser resurfacing space in nearly 20 years! This remarkable device allows us to perform skin resurfacing treatments in a unique manner that permits rapid treatment times, minimal discomfort (no anesthesia needed for most treatments), and shorter recovery times than have ever been possible previously while still delivering excellent results. How is this possible? The UltraClear™ laser is often referred to as a true “cold laser” because only minimal heat is applied to the skin, limiting discomfort and healing time.
What Can the UltraClear™ Laser Do?
The UltraClear™ laser is extremely versatile; it can be used in all skin types for various applications.
Superficial 3DMIRACL™ Resurfacing
The 3DMIRACL™ is a superficial laser treatment that is almost a “lunchtime” type of treatment. The treatment is performed without anesthesia, and the entire face can typically be treated in 10 minutes or less. After the treatment, your skin will be pink for a day or 2, but makeup can be applied on the day of treatment or the following day. The 3DMIRACL™ treatment produces a healthy skin “glow” while helping to reduce fine wrinkles and lines, skin discoloration, and to improve overall skin texture. The ideal candidates for 3DMIRACL™ treatments are younger patients or those with mild to moderate sun damage and/or aging changes who would like to effectively improve the appearance of their skin with minimal discomfort, downtime, or recovery. For best results, a series of 3-6 3DMIRACL™ treatments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart is recommended.
Laser-Coring™
Laser-Coring™ delivers the ultimate solution for patients seeking to reverse the signs of aging without having to go under the knife. Full face and neck treatments can be performed without any risk of causing damage. With the remarkable ratio of efficacy to downtime, you can enjoy exceptional results with minimal interruption to your daily life.
Treatment of Deeper Lines and Wrinkles and More Advanced Skin Discoloration
When treating deeper lines and wrinkles and more repairing skin that has sustained more damage from time and environmental exposure, the UltraClear™ laser can remove more of the damaged tissue and stimulate the production of fresh new collagen and elastin, critical building blocks for healthy skin. Even these more aggressive treatments are typically performed using only cold air for anesthesia while maintaining patient comfort. As would be anticipated, recovery times are longer after deeper treatment of more advanced changes, typically requiring 5 days or so.
Treatment of Unwanted Scars
The UltraClear laser is highly effective at treating a variety of scars on the face and body, including those caused by trauma, surgery, acne, and burns. Treatment of scars often requires a combination of medical, surgical, and laser treatment. The team will advise you on how to best treat your scars and what type of results you can expect from treatment.
Skin Rejuvenation of the Face
Traditional resurfacing lasers have largely been limited to use on the face due to the high risk of scarring and other complications associated with resurfacing treatments in other areas. Due to the minimal amount of thermal injury it produces, the UltraClear laser is extremely versatile and can be used on the neck, chest, arms, and other areas to improve skin color and texture. Treatments off the face can often be performed at the same time as facial resurfacing treatments. The UltraClear” laser is an incredibly exciting, truly disruptive technology that has changed the way we approach skin rejuvenation and the treatment of scarring.
