UltraClear Laser Resurfacing
Advanced, low-downtime skin rejuvenation by Dr. Jenna Queller
What is the UltraClear® Laser?
UltraClear® is a revolutionary fractional laser technology designed to create brighter, smoother, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime.
As the world’s first cold fractional fiber laser, UltraClear® delivers powerful resurfacing while generating significantly less heat than traditional lasers. This means safer treatments, faster recovery, and excellent results across a wide range of skin types, including those who may not be ideal candidates for older ablative devices.
UltraClear® is a fractional, ablative “cold fiber” laser, meaning it creates microscopic channels in the skin (microthermal zones) to stimulate collagen regeneration and accelerate cellular repair—without removing the entire surface at once.
The “cold fiber” design minimizes thermal damage, reducing risks such as prolonged redness, hyperpigmentation, or extended downtime commonly associated with older, heat-based lasers.
UltraClear® offers results comparable to deeper resurfacing but with:
- Less heat buildup
- Faster healing
- More customizable energy settings
- Greater safety across all skin types
What Can UltraClear® Treat?
UltraClear® is a versatile treatment that targets multiple signs of aging and skin damage:
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Stimulates collagen production to smooth expression lines and improve elasticity.
Uneven Texture & Large Pores
Refines rough or bumpy skin and visibly reduces pore size.
Sun Damage & Pigmentation
Improves discoloration, sunspots, age spots, and uneven tone.
Acne Scars & Surgical Scars
Softens acne scars, trauma scars, and surgical scars by promoting new collagen formation.
Melasma & Hyperpigmentation
Provides a non-thermal approach that reduces pigmentation with less risk of rebound darkening.
Dullness
Boosts circulation and accelerates cell turnover for a brighter, fresher complexion.
Crepey Skin on the Neck, Chest & Hands
Safely treats delicate, thinning skin with gentle-yet-effective energy delivery.
Is UltraClear® Painful?
UltraClear® is one of the most comfortable resurfacing lasers available because it produces far less heat than traditional laser systems.
- Most patients rate the discomfort below 3 out of 10.
- Superficial “glow” passes often require no numbing at all.
- Patients describe the sensation as warm prickling or a mild sunburn-like feeling.
What Is the Downtime?
Downtime depends on the treatment depth selected:
- Light resurfacing (“UltraClear Glow”):
Mild redness for 1–2 days; makeup may be applied within 24 hours. - Moderate resurfacing:
Redness and mild swelling for 2–4 days; light flaking may occur. - Deeper collagen-remodeling treatments:
3–7 days of downtime with redness, tightness, and peeling as the skin renews.
Most patients return to normal activities quickly and notice improvement within 1 week, with ongoing collagen remodeling for months.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results depend on treatment intensity, skin type, sun exposure, and skincare maintenance.
- Deep or more aggressive treatments continue improving for 3–6 months due to ongoing collagen remodeling.
- Many patients enjoy results that last up to 5 years, especially when combined with a consistent skincare routine and sun protection.
- Lighter treatments may require maintenance sessions every 6–12 months for optimal radiance.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
- Light refresh: 1 treatment
- Texture, pores, pigment: 2–3 treatments
- Acne scarring or deeper wrinkles: 3–5 treatments
Dr. Queller will customize a plan based on your goals and skin type.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
UltraClear is safe for a broad range of patients, including those with:
- Fine lines and early aging
- Rough texture or enlarged pores
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Brown spots or melasma
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Crepey skin on the neck, chest, or hands
It is also an excellent option for patients who want results similar to CO₂ or Erbium lasers but with less downtime and lower heat risk.
