UltraClear Laser in Sarasota

What Is the UltraClear Laser?
We never settle for second-best with laser skin treatments. The UltraClear Laser is a revolutionary, cold fiber laser. While still ablative, it provides exceptional personalization with less heat than traditional resurfacing lasers. This difference cuts down the risk of post-treatment inflammatory hyperpigmentation and opens the treatment to patients of all skin types. Such accessibility simply would not be possible with a CO2 laser. We are proud to offer this treatment at the Sarasota Institute of Dermatology and Oculoplastic Surgery.

What Is an UltraClear Laser Session Like?
- Will It Hurt?: As a cold fiber laser, UltraClear reduces any discomfort during treatment. Even though it is an ablative laser, patients describe it as feeling mostly like a mild tingling sensation. Patients rarely even need topical numbing.
- What Happens During the Treatment?: Your specialist will move the laser device over the treatment areas. Depending on your goals, you may need only a single pass over each area.
- How Long Does It Take?: On some settings, patients can have a 10-minute lunchtime peel. For deeper skin concerns, a session may last up to 1 hour. It depends on the size of the treatment area and the settings used.

UltraClear Laser FAQs
We recommend taking a few precautions after treatment. For superficial treatments, avoid vigorous exercise or exertion for 3 days. Avoid for 5 to 7 days for deeper treatments. Also, your skin will need a break from harsher skin care products for about 2 weeks. These include retinoids, any acids, and exfoliants.
- The Initial Results: You may notice initial improvements in as few as 2 days for a lunchtime peel. Deeper treatments can vary, with results beginning to appear within 1 to 2 weeks for most patients. After this, you may see continued improvements as collagen remodeling continues.
- Final Results: Deeper skin concerns may require a regimen of sessions to reach your full results. Depending on your concerns, this could range between 2 and 5 treatments.
- Your Results Duration: UltraClear Laser results can last from a few months to 5 years, depending on your treatment type. The 10-minute lunchtime peel keeps your skin fresh for a few months. Deeper treatments rejuvenate multiple layers of skin, providing benefits for 1 to 5 years.
The UltraClear Laser was designed for patients who want broader customization. Your skin has unique needs, so why settle for any treatment that does not recognize this? UltraClear gives patients a new level of control over their appearance, with 5 core modes:
- Clear Mode: Targets the most superficial layer of skin. Best for clearing mild sun damage and improving skin cell turnover.
- Clear+ Mode: Targets outer skin layers (epidermis). helps with moderate sun damage and improves fine lines and wrinkles.
- Ultra Mode: Targets deeper skin layers (dermis). Activates collagen remodeling, smooths lines, reduces some mild scarring, and improves vascular dyschromia.
- UltraClear Mode: Targets both superficial skin cells and deeper tissues in a single pass. Improves severe sun damage, activates collagen remodeling, and smooths deeper lines.
- Laser-Coring Mode: Precise removal of excess tissue at variable depths and densities. Targets deeper wrinkles and provides mild to moderate skin lifting in multiple facial areas.
