Ultraclear
In Tribeca, NYC
At La Reservé Aesthetics and wellness, ultraclear gives patients a customizable laser option for refreshing tired, uneven, or textured skin. This fractional laser delivers energy in a controlled pattern that prompts the skin to renew itself while sparing the surrounding tissue. Each session is adjusted to your skin and your goals, so treatment can be gentle and maintenance focused or more intensive for stubborn concerns. The result is a tailored resurfacing plan that fits into a busy life.
What Is Ultraclear?
Ultraclear is a fractional fiber laser that operates at a 2,910 nanometer wavelength, a wavelength strongly absorbed by water in the skin. It uses a cold ablation approach, removing microscopic columns of tissue while producing far less heat than many traditional resurfacing lasers. The device can also perform laser coring, with adjustable mode, pattern, spot size, coverage, and depth settings that let the provider match the treatment to each area.{video:20021|A close-up of the device screen displaying Laser-Coring settings, including mode, pattern, size, coverage, and exit depth, in a Ready state.}
What Does Ultraclear Treat?
Ultraclear resurfaces the skin with a cold fiber laser. It treats:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Sun damage and dark spots
-
Uneven skin tone and melasma
-
Acne scars
-
Enlarged pores and rough texture
-
Dull skin
How the Laser Works
Ultraclear creates thousands of tiny treatment zones surrounded by untouched skin, which act as a reservoir for faster healing. As these zones repair, the body produces fresh collagen and replaces damaged surface cells with new ones. Because energy and depth are fully adjustable, the same platform can address superficial discoloration or deeper textural concerns.
Preparing for Your Laser Session
- Discussing Your Skin Goals
Your journey begins with a private conversation about the concerns you want to address and the results you hope to see. Your provider will examine your skin, review your health history, and explain how ultraclear settings can be adjusted for you. Together you will decide on an approach that suits your schedule and expectations.
- Caring for Skin Beforehand
In the weeks before treatment, limit sun exposure and apply a broad spectrum sunscreen every day. Your provider may ask you to pause certain active skincare ingredients, such as retinoids or exfoliating acids, for a few days ahead of your appointment. Arriving with clean, product free skin helps the session go smoothly.
- Building a Personalized Treatment Plan
Your plan will outline the recommended intensity for each area and how ultraclear may pair with other services you are considering. Mapping out timing in advance helps you schedule sessions around events, travel, and work commitments so healing never feels rushed.
What Happens During Treatment
- Cleansing and Numbing the Skin
Your skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove oil, makeup, and residue from the treatment area. A topical numbing cream is then applied and left in place to help keep you comfortable. Once the skin is ready, the numbing cream is removed and protective eyewear is provided.
- Calibrating the Device Settings
Before the first pass, your provider selects the mode, pattern, spot size, coverage, and depth for your skin. These settings can differ from one area to the next, allowing lighter treatment on delicate zones and more focus where texture is stronger. The device is placed in Ready mode only after every setting is confirmed.{video:20019|A patient undergoes a cosmetic laser treatment on the neck and jawline while a practitioner in blue gloves operates the device.}
- Delivering the Laser Passes
The handpiece is guided across the skin in systematic passes, delivering energy in a fractional pattern. Many patients describe the sensation as a warm prickling that is well tolerated with numbing. Depending on the size of the area, the active treatment usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
- Soothing Skin Before You Leave
After the final pass, a calming moisturizer or healing balm is applied to support the skin. Your provider will review your aftercare instructions and answer any remaining questions. You can head home the same day with a clear plan for the days ahead.

Recovery and Aftercare
Downtime depends on the intensity of your treatment, ranging from about one day for lighter sessions to several days for deeper ones. Keep the skin moisturized, use only gentle cleansers, and avoid makeup until your provider gives the go ahead. Daily sunscreen and sun avoidance are essential while new skin forms, and most people return to normal routines within a few days.
When to Expect Visible Results
Many patients notice a brighter, smoother surface within one to two weeks as treated skin renews. Collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface for roughly three to six months, so firmness and texture keep improving over time. Results from a series build with each visit.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
-
Adults with sun spots, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged pores, or rough texture
-
Individuals in good general health without active skin infections in the treatment area
-
Patients who can commit to diligent sun protection before and after each session
-
People who are not pregnant or nursing and have realistic expectations for gradual improvement

Ultraclear is commonly used on the face, neck, jawline, chest, and hands. Your provider can adjust settings for each area so delicate skin receives a gentler approach.
Can Ultraclear be combined with other treatments?
Yes, ultraclear can be part of a broader plan that may include PRP, PDRN, or Neurotoxins, depending on your goals. Your provider will help you decide which combination and timing make sense for your skin.
How long do Ultraclear results last?
Results can last for a long time when you protect your skin from the sun and follow a consistent skincare routine. Natural aging continues, so many patients schedule maintenance sessions to keep their complexion looking refreshed.
