What do I need to do to prep my skin?
It is recommended to stay out of the sun 3-4 weeks pre and post treatment. Treating tanned skin with a laser is never recommended and can result in unexpected side effects. Your provider may also recommend stopping use of exfoliating products 1 week prior to treatment to ensure
your skin is not overly sensitive. Hydrate and keep your skin protected with SPF 30+ daily.
Does UltraClear™ hurt? What can I expect during treatment?
Most patients report discomfort scores of 1-3, with some sensitive areas maxing out at 5-6 on a scale of 1-10. Providers rarely use topical anesthetic because compared to other treatments, UltraClear is very comfortable. This saves you time and potential skin irritation from the topical
anesthetics.

What will my skin feel like after my UltraClear® treatment?
It is normal for patients' skin response post treatment to vary greatly. Some patients feel nothing except a slight warm feeling. Some patients report more of an intense "sunburn sensation". Either way, this tingly heat resolves relatively quickly, typically 15 mins to a few hours. A zimmer chiller, fan or cool packs (compresses) can be used to cool the skin
post treatment.
How much downtime can I expect?
Everyone's definition of downtime is different.
3DMIRACL™
Because the treatment is so superficial in the uppermost layer of skin, there is no dermal exposure. Medically we would say there is no downtime, however your face may appear red, slightly swollen, and warm / spicy for up to a few hours post procedure.

UltraClear® Customized Treatment
Using deeper modes in areas where fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars are present does mean your dermis may be exposed. This means 2-3 days of social downtime may be required. Your provider may recommend using Aquaphor as a barrier cream for a few days to protect your skin
as it heals. There may be slight swelling or pinpoint bleeding in areas that are treated more deeply, but compared to other resurfacing devices, the downtime is very minimal.
What do I need to do post-treatment?
FOLLOWING YOUR TREATMENT (3-5X DAILY)
​
1. Cleanse. Using gentle cleanser, pat the area to remove Aquaphor glaze. *Rough towels and mechanical cleansing devices are not to be used.
2. Glaze. Once clean, apply a hydrating product and/or Aquaphor to create a barrier and protect the skin as it heals. Anytime going outside ALWAYS use SPF 30+
​
3. Repeat. Repeat 2-3x (3-5x) daily during the healing process.
**If your skin feels too greasy, or you notice a rash forming, Aquaphor use
can cease. Some patients opt to use
