What Conditions Does the UltraClear® Laser Address? UltraClear® addresses multiple signs of aging in one session including:
Fine Lines
Deep Wrinkles
Enlarged pores
Pigmentation & Age Spots eg lentigenes, sun spots and benign keratoses
Scars - including acne, surgical and traumatic scars, even on darker skin tones.
Thin, crepey skin on the face, neck, decolletage and hands
Upper lip lines (“Smokers Lines”)
Periorbital (eye) wrinkes and skin laxity
Neck rejuvenation, addressing pigmentation, poikiloderma, thin skin, and laxity all in the same treatment.
Skin Laxity on the face, neck and body
The Ultraclear Laser is gentle enough for use on virtually any part of the body, including delicate areas around the eyes, neck, and décolletage, providing long-lasting results.
How does the UltraClear® Laser Work? UltraClear™ Laser is a fractionated laser, which means it targets specific areas of the skin, leaving surrounding skin intact. This approach reduces healing time and enhances safety profile, while the fractionated area is easily adjusted according to concerns.
The UltraClear™ offers multiple modes to target different skin levels, allowing each patient to receive a customised treatment based on their specific concerns. Superficial issues like fine lines and pigmentation are vaporised using the 3DMiracl and Clear+ modes, effectively removing dull, damaged skin as a rapid laser peel. More significant issues are treated with controlled thermal energy delivered to themiddle dermal layers, increasing collagen and elastin production to revitalise the skin from the inside out. This process addresses deeper lines and wrinkles, atrophic acne scarring, ice-pick scars, and thin, crepey skin. Additional modes can be used to address skin laxity and tighten the skin.
The “UltraClear” mode is the most sophisticated setting, combining a superficial and mid-dermal treatment at the amse time, in one pass. This makes the treatment faster and less painful, but also increases clinical efficacy, maximising results and reducing downtime. Precisely controlled thermal heating initiates the skin’s self-healing process, promoting the internal growth of collagen (neocollagenesis), elastin, and hyaluronic acid, resulting in smooth, clear and fresh new skin without synthetic products or needles.
How Long Does an UltraClear® Treatment Take? A full-face UltraClear® treatment takes just 30 minutes for a standard ful face treatment. Customized treatments, using doctor-only settings, may take up to 60 minutes and are exclusively performed by Dr. Grant. Additional areas such as the neck, décolletage, and hands can be added to your treatment or performed over time after your face heals
Is the UltraClear® Laser Painful? UltraClear®’s innovative MIRACL™ technology significantly reduces treatment pain, making it the most comfortable ablative laser on the market. The pain score for UltraClear® treatment is typically less than 3 on a scale of 10, whereas most other methods have pain scores greater than or equal to 6. Dr Grant compunds a strong topical local anesthetic cream, which is applied 60 minutes prior to your treatment. She may also prescribe a sedative if warranted—in this case, do not drive to your appointment. Deeper settings may require more significant anesthesia, which we will discuss during your consultation.
What is the Downtime for an UltraClear® Treatment? One of the key benefits of the UltraClear™ Laser is minimal downtime. Expect redness, swelling, crusted skin, and discomfort for the first 2 - 3 days. During this period, there is a risk of infection, so you must be diligent with hygiene and post-care. We will provide you with strict post-care instructions and a post-care kit. Most patients find that their skin starts to exfoliate naturally and peel off between days 3-5. Most patients resume social and work activities after 5 days, although the skin may still be red, dry, and mildly swollen. Makeup or concealers can be applied after the skin has shed. After a week, new baby skin will be smooth and clear but may remain mildly dry for a few more weeks.
When Will I Notice the Effects After My UltraClear™ Laser Treatment? You will notice clearer, smoother skin after the initial exfoliation of skin on days 4-5. The skin will be red and slightly swollen for a few weeks but will continue to improve over the next three months as collagen production increases and the skin remodels itself. We offer a complimentary course of six Healite treatments for you to use after your treatment—this helps to reduce redness and inflammation and provides a good opportunity for you to check in with our dermal clinicians.
What Is the Recommended Treatment Course for UltraClear™ Laser? We recommend a series of two to three treatments spaced two months apart for optimal results. However, many patients notice significant improvements after just one session. We offer a package price for three treatments, which can be discussed during your consultation. We also schedule a maintenance treatment 1-2 times a year, depending on your skin concerns, lifestyle and expectations.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for UltraClear™ Laser Treatment? UltraClear™ laser treatment offers remarkable benefits to patients of all ages, genders, and skin types. Whether you are young or old, male or female, or have fair or dark skin, you can find this treatment beneficial. We are able treat all ages from teenagers with acne scarring, to patients in their 80s. The laser can be used on any skin type, even dark skinned individuals. It works well on thick, resilient male skin, as well as deiicate thin skin around the eyes and on the neck and body. Dr Grant recommends women commence treatment in their 40s before the onset of menoopause to prevent and maintain collagen in the skin, to optimise skin integrity as they age.
There is a reason why I’ve finally decided to commit to an ablative device- UltraClear™ isn't just another laser; it's a revolutionary technology providing a offering a comprehensive and inclusive solution for effective, long-lasting results across a wide array of skin concerns and patient profiles.
Consultation & Skin Preparation You must have an initial consultation to ensure your skin is suitable for treatment and to customise your treatment settings with Dr Grant. We wil also spend time discussing post care and ensuring you have the knowledge you need to get the best outcomes from your teratment. You will get a better result, with less downtime, if your skin is prepped on a good medical retinol serum and use SPF daily. If you have darker skin, Dr Grant wil prescribe you a tyrosinase inhibitor serum to use for 4 weeks prior to treatment, although the risk of post inflammatry pigmentation is much lower with Ultraclear compared to traditional ablative lasers.
