Have you been hearing about the magic of UltraClear™ laser treatment and wondering if it’s for you? You’re not alone. This new technology is gaining popularity among people who want to rejuvenate their skin without going under the knife.
In this blog, we’ll take you through everything you need to know about UltraClear™ laser treatment, including what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
What is UltraClear™ Laser Treatment?
UltraClear™ laser treatment is a modern procedure that uses laser technology to make your skin look better. It helps with sun damage, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, making your skin look fresh and young.
UltraClear™ laser treatment doesn’t require surgery, so there’s no need for a long recovery time.
The Science Behind UltraClear™ Laser Treatment
The magic of UltraClear™ laser treatment is in its advanced technology. The laser goes into the skin’s surface to encourage the production of collagen, which helps tighten and smooth the skin.
Collagen is a protein that keeps our skin firm and stretchy, but we make less of it as we get older. By increasing collagen, UltraClear™ laser treatment can reduce fine lines and wrinkles effectively.
Is UltraClear™ Laser Treatment Right for You?
If you have sun damage, wrinkles, or uneven skin tone, UltraClear™ laser treatment could be a good option for you. It’s suitable for most skin types and tones, making it a versatile choice for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance.
However, it’s always best to talk to a qualified professional to see if this laser skin treatment is right for you.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Laser Resurfacing Using UltraClear™?
Before Laser Skin Treatment
Before getting laser skin treatment, avoid the sun for 3-4 weeks and stop using exfoliating products a week before. Use sunscreen with SPF 30+ and drink more water to get your skin ready.
During Laser Skin Treatment
The laser session usually takes about 15 minutes and usually doesn’t require any numbing cream. During the session, your skin will be cleaned, and the laser handpiece will be moved over the area to be treated.
After Laser Skin Treatment
After the treatment, your skin might feel warm, like a sunburn, for a few hours. You could also have some redness and mild pain. In deeper UltraClear™ modes, you might have temporary swelling and tiny spots of bleeding.
This is normal and usually goes away within a few hours to a couple of days.
The First 1-2 Days
During the first 24 hours, it’s really important to follow your laser resurfacing specialist’s instructions, which includes:
- Don’t use sunscreen on the first and second days after your laser treatment.
- Don’t drink alcohol or eat spicy or hot foods until after the second day of laser resurfacing.
- Wait to do exercise and other physical activities until the redness or swelling of the face goes away, usually by the third day.
- Stay out of the sun, and avoid extreme conditions like windy weather or ocean water.
- Only use skincare products recommended by your laser skin rejuvenation doctor.
- If you must use makeup, make sure it’s new to avoid germs. If not, wait a few days to use it.
- Don’t put ice directly on your skin after laser treatment, especially if your skin is still numb.
- Don’t use cleansers or products with acids, alcohol, botanicals, or complicated ingredients.
The First Week
In the first week after the laser skin rejuvenation treatment, your skin will still be sensitive. You might see some flaking or peeling as your skin heals.
Don’t pick at or scratch the flaky areas to avoid scars and other problems. Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers as your laser provider recommends.
The Healing Process
Healing after UltraClear™ laser treatment can be different for everyone, but you should start to see improvements within a week. Your skin will keep getting better as collagen production increases over the next few weeks, making your skin feel firmer and smoother.
Keep following your specialist’s skincare routine and use sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.
Follow-Up
A follow-up appointment with your doctor will likely be scheduled a few weeks after your last skin treatment to evaluate your progress and discuss any concerns. During this visit, your specialist may adjust your skincare routine or suggest additional treatments to optimize your results.
Results You Can Expect from UltraClear™
- Improved Skin Texture: UltraClear™ laser treatment helps to smooth out skin texture by stimulating collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enhanced Skin Tightening: The collagen-boosting effects of the laser lead to firmer, tighter skin, resulting in a more youthful and lifted appearance.
- Reduced Signs of Aging: Patients can expect a reduction in common signs of aging such as sagging skin, sunspots, and uneven skin tone after undergoing UltraClear™ laser treatment.
Laser Bleph™ Eyelid Rejuvenation with UltraClear™
Eyelid rejuvenation (periocular rejuvenation) offers several benefits, primarily aimed at enhancing both the appearance and function of the eyes. It helps to reduce the signs of aging, such as drooping eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This procedure can also improve vision by tightening the skin on the upper lid, skin that may obstruct the field of vision. Additionally, eyelid rejuvenation can restore eye symmetry and balance, boosting self-confidence. Dr. Dima uses a sophisticated, high-tech laser called the UltraClear to do a Laser Bleph (blepharoplasty). The minimal downtime and natural-looking results make it a popular choice for individuals seeking a less-invasive way to address aging signs around the eyes. Healing time is much less than with traditional blepharoplasty.
