UltraClear is a next-generation cold fibre laser that resurfaces the skin, stimulates collagen production and improves pigmentation, texture, acne scars and fine lines. With a range of tailored treatment intensities, it can deliver anything from a gentle refresh to advanced resurfacing.

How it works

UltraClear uses a precisely controlled cold fibre laser to resurface the skin and create controlled micro-zones that trigger collagen renewal, while keeping unwanted heat to a minimum for greater comfort and a more manageable recovery. The intensity is tailored to your concern and the result you want, across three approaches: Clear, 3D Miracle and Coring.

Laser-Coring™: a different approach to loose skin

One of the features that sets UltraClear apart is Laser-Coring™. Most skin-tightening treatments work by heating the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate new collagen. They can work well, but where the skin has become noticeably loose, stimulating collagen alone may not be enough.

Laser-Coring takes a different approach. Rather than only heating the skin, it removes tiny, precisely controlled columns of tissue in a fine pattern, each far smaller than a pinhead. As these microscopic channels heal, the surrounding skin draws together and remodels, and the body lays down new collagen over the following months.

Think of a piece of fabric that has become stretched. Treating its surface might improve its texture, but it won’t take up the slack. By removing a small amount of tissue and encouraging the rest to contract, Laser-Coring aims to address the looseness itself, not just the surface.

Somewhere between non-surgical tightening and surgery

Many people have loose skin that’s more than conventional skin-tightening treatments can help with, but they aren’t ready for surgery, whether for financial reasons, because they don’t feel ready emotionally, or because they don’t want the scars and recovery that come with it.

Laser-Coring is not a substitute for surgery. Where there’s a lot of excess skin, surgery is still the right answer, and Dr Pratish will always tell you honestly if he thinks that’s the case. But for carefully selected patients, it can help to reduce some excess skin without any surgical incisions, including around the eyes, where the skin is too delicate for many other treatments. It can also be repeated at planned intervals, so each session builds on the results of the one before.

What it can help with

• Acne scars and textural irregularities

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Uneven tone and pigmentation

• Enlarged pores

• Skin laxity and loss of firmness

What to expect

Following a consultation and assessment, a numbing cream is applied for the deeper settings to keep you comfortable. The treatment intensity is tailored to your goals, from a light refresh with little downtime to a more intensive resurfacing session.

All laser treatments require a patch test on an inconspicuous area beforehand, to check how your skin responds and that the treatment is suitable for you.

Results & longevity

Lighter treatments leave the skin looking refreshed and radiant, while resurfacing results build over the following weeks as collagen remodels. For concerns such as acne scarring, a course is often advised for the best outcome.

Downtime & aftercare

Downtime ranges from around one to seven days depending on the intensity selected, and may include redness and light flaking as the skin renews.

Is it right for me?
