UltraClear® Cold Fiber Laser: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What Does UltraClear Cold Fiber Laser Do For Your Skin?
UltraClear® is the first-of-its-kind solution for revitalizing the skin and generating the appearance of fresh, smooth and youthful skin in just one 30-minute treatment. It is clinically proven and cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). From “prejuvenation” and a “weekend refresh” to full resurfacing and deep collagen remodeling1 , alongside exclusive Laser-Coring™ to reverse the effects of gravity and advanced signs of aging, the future is UltraClear fiber laser.
How Does It Work?
UltraClear® uses short, concentrated light beams to gently remove top layers of dull and damaged skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process and stimulating new cell growth. At the same time, UltraClear® deposits controlled thermal energy at the deeper dermal level, inducing just the right amount of thermal energy at the right skin depth to start the rejuvenation process, increasing collagen production1 to revitalize your skin from the inside out.
Does UltraClear Laser Treatment Hurt?
UltraClear®’s innovative 3DMIRACL® technology dramatically reduces treatment discomfort, making it among the most comfortable facial rejuvenation solution on the market. Pain score with UltraClear® treatment is typically less than 3 on a scale of 10, while most other methods rate pain scores greater or equal to 6.
What Is the Downtime After Treatment?
UltraClear® offers a wide range of patient-friendly treatment options tailored to your desired results and lifestyle. If you want to quickly smooth out your skin to achieve a radiant complexion but need to get back to work as soon as possible, the little-to-no-downtime lunchtime 3DMIRACL® treatment may be your best option. You will likely have some redness and mild swelling on your face right after the treatment, but you can apply make-up in a few hours and go back to work the same or next day.
If you wish to treat deeper wrinkles, lines around the eyes or acne scars and can spare a few days to recover, a more intense option may be performed for greater dramatic improvement. This approach typically involves an average of 3+ days of downtime. For instance, the unique “Fiber Laser-Coring ™ treatment combines removal of redundant skin cores with resurfacing and collagen remodeling to provide smooth, firm skin with fewer wrinkles from the hairline to the decolletage. Overall, UltraClear is distinguished by its highly favorable ratio of clinical efficacy to downtime.
How Long Do Treatment Results Last?
With UltraClear’s lunchtime 3DMIRACL option, you will notice an improvement in your skin in just 3 to 5 days after your treatment. The results may last several months. For UltraClear’s more advanced treatment options, your skin will continue to improve for up to 6 months, and the results may last 1 to 2 years. However, since our skin continues to age and new wrinkles and spots may appear due to sun damage and daily life, additional treatments may be needed to maintain healthy, fresh and younger-looking skin.
Is UltraClear Safe for All Skin Types?
Unlike other energy-based technologies that tend to cause thermal-induced side effects, such as post-inflammation hyperpigmentation (PIH) and post-inflammation erythema (PIE), UltraClear’s revolutionary cold fiber laser technology overcomes these concerns. With its advanced pulsing and precision control of energy, UltraClear minimizes unwanted thermal damage, making it safe and effective for all skin types, including previously high-risk skin type III and above (Asian, Indian and dark skin patients).
What Is “3DMIRACL®”?
3DMIRACL® is an innovative aesthetic treatment that aims to provide exceptional outcomes with minimal downtime for that “camera-ready” look. It harnesses the advanced technology of our UltraClear® laser system for prejuvenation, tweakments and to improve the overall quality of skin by eliminating the common imperfections that detract from a healthy skin appearance. Patients who undergo treatment can expect comfortable treatment sessions with visible results that will continue to improve in the weeks following treatment. The number of required treatments can vary based on individual needs, desires and the specific condition/s.
What is Fiber Laser-Coring™?
Fiber-Enabled Laser-Coring™ is our proprietary and exclusive treatment mode that helps correct the effects of gravity and aging through collagen remodeling1 and by restoring natural contours in about 30+ minutes. It works by creating precise micro-channels with controlled energy delivery to eliminate redundant tissue and improve skin quality with less downtime and bleeding compared to traditional methods. Combined with ablative laser resurfacing for dramatic and fast collagen contraction. UltraClear maximizes tissue removal, wrinkle improvement and scar remodeling. Results generally take about 2-3 months to see the full and complete transformation since it takes about that long for our body to generate new cells, collagen and elastin fibers.
