Before Your UltraClear® Treatment
Before your UltraClear® treatment, Dr. Key will perform a skin consultation to review your medical history and ensure you are a good candidate for this treatment. Candidates for UltraClear® must be in generally good health and have no active skin infections or flare-ups at the time of treatment, and the visit helps build a personalized treatment plan focused around your skin concerns.
UltraClear® stands out from other energy-based skin treatments due to its ability to trat skin irregularities, including both dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, and other early signs of aging. Its precision allows it to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so individuals of any skin tone and skin type can experience the benefits of treatment without worrying about possible side effects.
UltraClear® also minimizes unwanted thermal damage, reducing post-treatment discomfort and recovery time. This can be beneficial for mature adults and those with sensitive skin types.
During Your UltraClear® Treatment
During your UltraClear® treatment, your skin professional will cleanse the area and apply a numbing cream to reduce possible treatment discomfort. Local anesthesia is not generally needed for this machine. Then, the laser will be gently applied against the targeted treatment areas. It delivers precise laser energy through Cold Ablative Fiber Technology at a 2910 nm wavelength, creating microscopic channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production and support collagen and elastin production. The skin resurfacing treatment can improve pigmentation changes, pore size, and cell turnover, while affecting the skin’s surface and stimulating healing in the deeper layers and deeper skin layers. In a controlled way, the laser removes damaged skin and helps improve skin texture as dead skin cells shed and new skin appears.
The UltraClear® treatment takes around 15 minutes to complete. Since the treatment is customizable, your session intensity and duration will vary based on your skin concerns and needs. Unlike chemical peels or treatments that use fine needles, this approach helps remodel skin naturally over time as collagen forms.
After Your UltraClear® Treatment
The UltraClear® treatment offers minimal downtime, though common temporary side effects include redness and swelling afterward. Most patients experience mild redness for a few hours, and the minimal downtime required is typically 1–3 days, while deeper treatment can extend healing from one to several days depending on treatment depth. Your desired results may take up to a few weeks to be fully realized, and firmer skin is just around the corner.
You may want to avoid significant social events for up to a week after deep treatment, as some patients can have moderate redness along with swelling and skin sensitivity. Deeper treatment can affect the outer layers more noticeably during healing, including shedding of dead skin cells. Post-treatment care is essential to minimize side effects, so avoid UV exposure and wear SPF while your skin heals from the treatments.
