Introduction to UltraClear

Many patients desire the powerful resurfacing results of traditional laser treatments but prefer not to experience the associated risks, downtime, or discomfort. Enter UltraClear. This groundbreaking cold laser technology is a game-changer, thanks to its quick recovery and transformative outcomes. At Greensboro Plastic Surgery in Greensboro, NC, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Collier Pace and his team of aesthetic specialists are thrilled to offer this revolutionary skincare solution —an ideal option for those battling sun damage, acne scarring, wrinkles, or a dull complexion.

What Is UltraClear?

UltraClear is the world’s first cold fiber laser device. It achieves powerful resurfacing outcomes without exposing the skin to excessive thermal energy. This results in minimal downtime or discomfort compared to conventional CO2 technologies. UltraClear relies on a patented 2910 nm wavelength to target the skin’s layers at multiple depths, making treatment highly customizable and effective at addressing both surface-level imperfections and deeper signs of aging.

In contrast to more invasive ablative laser procedures, UltraClear protects the surrounding healthy skin cells while boosting collagen production for dramatic skin tightening and tissue regeneration from within. Whether you desire a light peel before a special occasion or you wish to focus on eliminating recurring skin ailments, UltraClear’s precision and versatility make it one of the most sought-after tools in the modern medspa arsenal.

UltraClear offers multiple treatment options to meet your individual skin needs, including:

  • 3DMIRACL™ (Clear Mode): A gentle, superficial treatment that refreshes your complexion and tackles minor imperfections. Perfect for routine maintenance, it brightens dull skin, smooths texture, and evens out mild pigmentation, with virtually no downtime. Known as the “lunchtime laser,” Clear Mode lets you resume your day immediately, revealing fresher, radiant skin safe for all tones.
  • Clear+: Clear+ delivers a deeper, more targeted resurfacing for visible concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. By removing the outer layer of dead skin, this mode helps improve your texture, tone, and overall radiance within just a few days. While a short period of redness or social downtime may occur, this precise treatment is ideal for lighter skin tones seeking noticeable, refreshed results.
  • Ultra: Ultra Mode goes deeper to stimulate collagen and elastin production from within, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and mild laxity. Its dual-depth approach further smooths texture, firms skin, and boosts overall tone. With just two to five days of recovery, patients enjoy tighter, rejuvenated, and long-lasting results that transform the skin from the inside out.
  • Laser Coring: The most intensive UltraClear treatment, Laser Coring targets deeper imperfections with precision using micro-columns of controlled ablation to promote the growth of collagen and elastin while protecting surrounding tissue. Especially effective for deep wrinkles, scars, and lax areas, this approach delivers dramatic tightening and resurfacing. Recovery is slightly longer, but the striking improvements in texture, tone, and firmness are well worth it.

What to Expect on the Day of UltraClear Treatment

On the day of your appointment, we will welcome you into our state-of-the-art Greensboro clinic, place you in one of our comfortable suites, and briefly discuss your treatment plan and answer any last-minute questions.

Before applying the UltraClear device, we will thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing agent to maximize your comfort and relaxation during your visit. Most patients describe the treatment process as painless when compared to conventional ablative lasers. You may experience a sensation of warmth or tingling, but no pain. You can expect your procedure to last around 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the targeted areas and the intensity level selected by our practitioners. Because UltraClear does not rely on thermal intensity, your session results in minimal trauma to the healthy tissue, expediting recovery.

UltraClear Recovery

One of the most significant advantages of the UltraClear technology is its expedited recovery process. This makes it a game-changer for our active, busy patients in and beyond Greensboro, North Carolina, who don’t wish to put their lives on hold while seeking optimal skin rejuvenation results.

After your session, it is common to experience mild warmth and redness in the complexion, akin to a mild sunburn. These side effects usually dissipate within 24 to 72 hours. You may also see some dryness and flaking in the coming days as your skin sheds the damaged cells. In general, most UltraClear patients experience about half the recovery time required with more ablative CO2 lasers.

Within one to two days after your session, you will likely be able to resume work and normal social activities. However, you should continue to avoid excessive sun exposure and harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants and retinoids.
