Laser skin treatments have long been a go-to solution for improving skin texture, tone, and tightness. But for years, patients with deeper skin tones or sensitive skin types were told they weren’t ideal candidates for many of these technologies. That all changes with the UltraClear Laser—a cold fiber, non-ablative fractional laser that is revolutionizing skin rejuvenation for all skin types, now available at Injection Artistry Newport Beach.
With minimal downtime, exceptional precision, and safety for all Fitzpatrick skin types, UltraClear is quickly becoming the preferred solution for patients seeking radiant, healthy skin without the risks or recovery time associated with more aggressive lasers.
The UltraClear™ Laser is a 2,910 nm cold fiber fractional laser that uses ultrafast energy pulses to create controlled microchannels in the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production without ablating or burning the skin’s surface. It is the first laser system to offer computer-controlled depth precision with cold laser energy, making it a safe, effective option for melanin-rich and sensitive skin, two groups often excluded from traditional resurfacing methods. Developed by Acclaro Medical, UltraClear received FDA clearance in 2022 and is already being recognized by top dermatologists and laser specialists for its versatility and safety.
What truly sets UltraClear apart is its ability to resurface and regenerate the skin with low thermal damage. While other fractional lasers (like CO2 and Er:Y AG) often rely on heat to vaporize layers of skin, UltraClear uses a cold laser delivery system, which means:
UltraClear can be used to address a wide variety of skin issues, including:
Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or are managing skin damage from acne or UV exposure, UltraClear can help restore your skin’s vibrancy with precision and care.
The UltraClear Laser is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after technologies in aesthetic dermatology because of its unique ability to treat a wide spectrum of skin concerns safely across all skin tones, including those traditionally considered high-risk for laser treatments. At Injection Artistry Newport Beach, our patients seek UltraClear not only for its transformative results but for the assurance of a tailored, inclusive, and low-downtime experience. Below are the most common concerns that can be effectively treated with UltraClear:
Over time, the skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, two key proteins responsible for maintaining firmness, elasticity, and a youthful appearance. As these proteins diminish, fine lines begin to form around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, eventually deepening into static wrinkles. The UltraClear Laser combats this process by triggering a natural wound-healing response in the skin, which leads to a renewed production of collagen. This results in smoother skin texture and a reduction in the depth and visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around delicate areas like the eyes (periorbital lines) and lips (perioral wrinkles).
Chronic sun exposure is one of the most common causes of premature aging, leading to sunspots, uneven pigmentation, and a rough skin tone. UltraClear’s cold fractional laser technology allows us to target hyperpigmented lesions without damaging surrounding tissue, safely breaking down excess melanin and encouraging the skin to naturally shed dark spots. Unlike many lasers that carry a high risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in patients with darker skin, UltraClear is designed to minimize thermal injury, making it one of the few safe options for treating UV-induced pigmentation across all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Acne scarring—particularly rolling, boxcar, and shallow atrophic scars—can significantly affect both texture and light reflection on the skin, leading to a dull or uneven appearance. UltraClear uses fractional energy to create microscopic channels within the dermis, stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen remodeling in precisely the areas that need it most. This controlled injury triggers the body’s natural regenerative processes, resulting in softer, smoother skin over time. For patients with textural scarring who may not be candidates for aggressive ablative lasers, UltraClear offers a gentler, safer path to renewal with comparable outcomes over a series of treatments.
Pore size is influenced by oil production, genetics, sun damage, and aging. When skin becomes lax or collagen depletes around the follicular openings, pores can appear stretched or more prominent, particularly in areas like the nose and cheeks. The UltraClear Laser helps tighten the surrounding tissue, effectively reducing the appearance of pores while improving the overall skin surface. This makes the skin look more refined, smooth, and light-reflective, creating a noticeable difference in makeup application and bare-skin confidence.
As collagen and elastin levels decrease, the skin loses its snap-back quality and begins to sag, often becoming most visible in areas such as the jawline, neck, and cheeks. UltraClear is not a surgical substitute, but it does offer a significant non-invasive improvement by activating neocollagenesis (new collagen formation) and promoting structural skin tightening over time. This makes it an excellent preventative option for patients in their late 20s to early 40s who want to maintain skin integrity, as well as a non-surgical solution for those noticing the early signs of sagging or crepey skin.
A full-face UltraClear session typically takes 30–45 minutes. No numbing is needed for many patients, although topical anesthesia is available for sensitive individuals. During the procedure, you’ll feel a light tingling or snapping sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated and requires no sedation.
Most patients return to work or social activities within 24–48 hours.
Clinical studies have demonstrated the UltraClear Laser’s remarkable efficacy in treating various skin concerns. Patients have reported significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance after just a few sessions. Moreover, the technology’s precision allows for targeted treatment of specific areas, ensuring optimal results with minimal side effects.
One of the standout features of the UltraClear Laser is its safety profile across all Fitzpatrick skin types. Traditional laser treatments often pose risks for individuals with darker skin tones, including hyperpigmentation and scarring. However, UltraClear’s innovative approach minimizes these risks, making it a safe and effective option for a broader demographic.
According to research presented by Acclaro Medical, clinical data from initial pilot studies and dermatology practices show:
These results highlight UltraClear’s unique ability to combine efficacy and safety, particularly for diverse skin types and tones.
UltraClear results can be seen after just one session, but a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results, especially for scarring, sun damage, or advanced aging. For maintenance, many patients opt for quarterly treatments to keep their collagen levels strong and skin radiant year-round.
One of the primary advantages of the UltraClear Laser is its minimal downtime. Most patients experience only mild redness and swelling, which typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours. This quick recovery allows individuals to return to their daily activities promptly, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
The treatment itself is relatively quick, often completed within 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being addressed. Patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth, with minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Beyond immediate improvements, the UltraClear Laser stimulates collagen production, promoting long-term skin health and vitality. With continued treatments, patients can expect sustained enhancements in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall radiance.
To maintain optimal results, a series of sessions may be recommended, followed by periodic maintenance treatments. Our team at Injection Artistry Newport Beach will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with your aesthetic goals.
