What is the UltraClear Laser?

UltraClear’s revolutionary cold fiber laser technology helps reverse signs of aging by addressing pigmentation, wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin texture or stubborn acne scars, leaving only the beautifully glowing skin you desire.**

Clinically proven and cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 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 dermal level inducing just the right amount of thermal energy at the right skin depth to start the rejuvenation process, increasing collagen¹ and elastin production, revitalizing your skin from the inside out.

Hear From Patients Like You

When you find a doctor like Joanna Chan, you don’t wait—you run to book an appointment. She is brilliant, kind, and incredibly thorough. My husband grew up “old school,” where sunscreen was only for beach days. While he’s much better now about using sunscreen, as an avid outdoorsman, he had accumulated some sun damage. Dr. Chan cleaned up his skin, removed a mole that turned out to be precancerous, and made the entire experience seamless for him. He’s now taking much better care of his skin—and looking 10 years younger! We couldn’t recommend Dr. Chan more highly—she is truly the best!

UltraClear FAQ

UltraClear sets itself apart with its innovative cold fiber laser technology, which delivers precise energy with minimal heat. Unlike traditional lasers that cause more discomfort and longer recovery, UltraClear’s 3DIntelliPulse® technology minimizes thermal damage while effectively treating multiple skin concerns. It is also one of the few lasers that is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones that were previously challenging to treat with older laser technologies.

UltraClear also stimulates collagen and elastin production more effectively by combining ablative and coagulative energy. This process enhances natural skin healing, helping to reduce wrinkles, improve texture, and fade pigmentation while protecting surrounding tissue. The result? Faster recovery, long-lasting results, and a smoother, more youthful complexion.

UltraClear is a versatile treatment that can address:

✔ Fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Sun damage and age spots
✔ Acne scars and other types of scarring
✔ Uneven skin tone and texture
✔ Red and brown discoloration (vascular dyschromia)
✔ General skin rejuvenation and “prejuvenation” to prevent early signs of aging

UltraClear treatments are designed to be quick, comfortable, and effective:

Session length: A full-face treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes.
Pain level: Most patients report mild discomfort (0-5 on a 10-point scale)—much lower than traditional laser treatments.
After treatment: You may experience temporary redness and mild peeling, similar to a sunburn. A more aggressive treatment may have a few days of downtime.

Recovery depends on the depth of your treatment:

  • Light resurfacing: 2-4 days of mild redness and peeling.
  • Deeper treatments: 3-5 days of more noticeable peeling and redness before revealing dramatically smoother skin.

Results continue to improve for months, as collagen and elastin rebuild. With deeper treatments, skin continues to improve for up to a year, and results can last 1-5 years.

Yes! 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.
