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.
