UltraClear® Laser Resurfacing

UltraClear doesn’t just promise better skin—it delivers it through innovative, patient-centered technology. Here’s what makes it one of the most exciting advancements in skin rejuvenation:

• Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience only mild redness or swelling for 1–3 days. That means you can return to your normal routine quickly, often the very next day.
• Safe for Most Skin Types: 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.
• Customizable Treatment Levels: From a gentle lunchtime refresh to more intensive resurfacing, the laser can be adjusted to your individual goals and schedule.
• Stimulates Collagen Production: By reaching deep into the dermis, UltraClear jumpstarts the skin’s natural healing process, promoting firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin over time.
• Laser-Coring™ – the Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Alternative: For patients not ready for surgical intervention, UltraClear offers a powerful, non-invasive option to dramatically improve skin quality and appearance. Unlike radiofrequency microneedling which can melt facial fat, this protects this important layer of tissue while improving skin laxity without surgery. 

UltraClear is designed for patients who want noticeable skin rejuvenation without extended downtime, but not everyone’s goals or skin condition are the same. The best candidates are typically men and women who are beginning to notice signs of aging, sun damage, or irregularities in skin texture and want a non-surgical treatment that delivers real, lasting results.

This includes individuals who struggle with:

• Fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth
• Uneven skin tone or sun spots
• Acne scars or other textural concerns
• Large pores or dull skin
• Mild to moderate skin laxity

UltraClear is also ideal for patients who may not be eligible for more aggressive lasers due to skin tone or sensitivity. Because it’s safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, patients of color in the Baltimore, Maryland and D.C. areas finally have access to a high-efficacy laser treatment that respects and protects melanin-rich skin. If you’re in your 20s or 70s, UltraClear can be tailored to your skin’s needs, making it a versatile option for both preventative care and correction.

First, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to maximize comfort during treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, prickly feeling—not painful, but noticeable—and far more tolerable than traditional ablative lasers.

While the the procedure itself can vary in time, it typically takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and intensity level selected. Because UltraClear doesn’t rely on high heat, there’s minimal trauma to surrounding tissue, resulting in faster healing and less inflammation. After the session, your skin may appear red or slightly flushed, similar to a sunburn, but this usually resolves within 24 to 72 hours. Following the treatment, there may be tiny red or brown grid marks that resolve in a week. 

Before you leave, our team will review your personalized aftercare instructions and schedule your follow-up, ensuring you feel confident and cared for throughout your skin transformation journey.

One of the standout advantages of UltraClear is its rapid recovery timeline—a game-changer for busy professionals, parents, or anyone who doesn’t want to put life on hold for better skin. Most patients experience mild redness and warmth immediately after the procedure, similar to a light sunburn, which typically fades within 24 to 72 hours. There may be slight flaking or dryness over the following days as your skin naturally exfoliates, revealing a smoother, clearer complexion underneath. UltraClear delivers fully ablative results with almost half of the recovery time of traditional CO2 lasers. 

Many patients feel confident enough to return to work or social activities within a day or two. You’ll be advised to avoid direct sun exposure, skip harsh exfoliants, and apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer alongside broad-spectrum SPF. Deeper treatments may require vinegar-water soaks and vaseline for the first few days. 

Because UltraClear jumpstarts collagen production, your skin will continue to improve in tone, texture, and firmness over the coming weeks. Think of it as a “slow-burn” glow, with results that build beautifully over time.
