Laser devices are amazing for almost all skin concerns. From acne scars and fine lines to dark spots and pore size, laser treatments are consistently effective for people looking to see dramatic improvements in their skin quality. A relatively new laser device, the UltraClear Laser, offers the same benefits without some of the drawbacks that standard lasers sometimes have!

What is the UltraClear laser?
The UltraClear Laser is a uniquely designed skincare treatment that differs from traditional lasers. While most lasers use heat, the UltraClear utilizes special cold fiber technology to surpass the first layers of the skin, which prevents any damage and concentrates the laser’s effects on the layers below! This allows for a more targeted treatment, improving deeper skin layers while keeping the surface intact. Lasers are a great way to promote collagen production, and since our skin starts producing 1% less collagen every year after the age of 20, boosting it with laser treatments like UltraClear can help restore firmness and elasticity.
The Technology Behind UltraClear
The UltraClear Laser uses a small, precise laser that delivers focused beams of light to specific areas of the skin. This process creates micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing process, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin. These are the proteins responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Over time, this leads to a smoother, more youthful complexion, with improvements in texture and tone becoming noticeable after each session.
Why Try the UltraClear Laser?
Minimal Downtime after UltraClear
- The UltraClear Laser offers minimal downtime, which is a big difference from traditional lasers. While some lasers might leave longer-lasting redness and irritation, an UltraClear session results in mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which typically resolves within a day or two. This makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule without needing extended recovery time.
Suitable for Anyone!
- Traditional lasers often work best on Fitzpatrick Skin Types below 4, meaning lighter skin tones. However, the UltraClear Laser can be effective on all skin tones, making it a versatile option for a broader range of people. Learn more about the Fitzpatrick Skin Types here.
UltraClear Builds Results
- Unlike topical treatments, the effects of the UltraClear Laser get better with each treatment! After each session, your skin continues to improve as collagen rebuilds, leading to long-lasting, cumulative results that enhance over time. Frequency of treatments is dependent on your personal goals and concerns, but your skin will look better and better with each visit!
Comfortable UltraClear Laser Experience
- Many patients report that the treatment is nearly painless. Because the UltraClear is a heat-less laser, it’s already more comfortable than many other options. When combined with numbing cream and other comfort measures offered at L&P, the experience is almost entirely pain-free, allowing you to relax during the session.
What to Expect During Your UltraClear Treatment
A typical UltraClear Laser treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Before starting, your skincare professional will cleanse your skin and may apply a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. During the treatment, you may feel a warm sensation as the laser moves across your skin, but it’s generally very tolerable. Afterward, you can expect mild redness and possibly some swelling, but these side effects are temporary and should subside within a few days! The best part is, you can resume most of your regular activities shortly after the treatment, making it a convenient choice for those with busy lifestyles. View some before and after images here!
