Neck & Décolleté Resurfacing
For tone, texture, and firmness
Individual results vary
Does This Sound Familiar?
Your skin no longer reflects how you feel.
Fine lines, rougher texture, sun damage, lingering acne scars, visible pores, uneven tone, or skin that looks tired even when you are not.
You are not just looking for a laser. You are looking for healthier, smoother, more confident skin.
Understanding the Technology
What Is UltraClear?
UltraClear is an advanced cold fiber laser platform used to improve the appearance of skin texture, tone, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality.
It works through fractional resurfacing, treating tiny controlled zones of skin while leaving the surrounding skin untouched to support faster, more predictable healing. Over the following weeks and months, this can prompt collagen remodeling, the gradual process in which the skin forms and reorganizes collagen.
Its adjustable modes and settings span lighter renewal through deeper resurfacing.

The Technology, Explained Simply
What Makes UltraClear Different?
A few design choices, explained in plain language, are what let UltraClear treat so precisely and adapt to so many different needs. For each one, the question that matters is simple: what does it mean for you?
01
Micro-Pulsed Speed
UltraClear delivers energy at approximately 5,000 pulses per second. That speed allows the laser to deliver many very small pulses rather than relying on one larger pulse.
Why it matters: This micro-pulsed delivery may help create precise treatment channels and cleaner ablation while helping limit unwanted thermal spread, supporting greater treatment control and improved comfort.
02
Controlled Heat, Thoughtfully Applied
One of UltraClear's distinctive capabilities is the ability to add controlled heat to a treatment when it is clinically appropriate. The treating clinician can select among different coagulation levels, gently adding heat to the surrounding tissue while maintaining the precision of fractional treatment.
Why it matters: Controlled heat may increase collagen remodeling and may contribute to improvements in skin firmness and mild to moderate laxity. It also changes the recovery profile, so the level is chosen to balance treatment effect, healing, comfort, and safety for each patient. More heat is not automatically better.
03
UltraGlide
UltraGlide uses an in-motion scanning pattern rather than repeatedly treating one stationary area. Its randomized delivery pattern helps distribute energy across the skin while reducing localized thermal load.
Why it matters: This may allow smoother transitions between treated and untreated areas, feathering at the edges, and more efficient treatment of larger surface areas and the body. It may also be considered for selected pigmentation concerns and selected darker skin types when clinically appropriate.
04
Laser Coring
Laser Coring uses the same laser technology but delivers the energy in a different pattern, creating a broader treatment channel within the skin. This allows more tissue to be treated with each pass while maintaining precision.
Why it matters: The result may be greater collagen remodeling and more significant skin tightening and rejuvenation in appropriately selected patients, depending on skin quality, anatomy, treatment intensity, and the broader treatment plan.
Dr. Gerrish's Development Role
Dr. Gerrish has collaborated with UltraClear's engineers on the development and refinement of newer treatment modes, including the latest Laser Coring approach, and he continues to participate in emerging laser technology and beam-profile innovation. That direct involvement is part of why his technical perspective shapes how each treatment is planned.
How Treatment Is Shaped
One Platform. Many Treatment Profiles.
Depth, energy, density, coagulation, and treatment pattern shape the session and its recovery profile.
Treatment depthPulse energyDensityCoagulationTreatment areaRecovery goals
3D MIRACL
A lighter, more superficial level for surface renewal, subtle texture, and ongoing maintenance.
Deeper Resurfacing
A more substantial level for established texture, fine lines, sun damage, and pigmentation concerns.
UltraGlide
An in-motion mode suited to feathering, larger surface areas, body treatment, and selected pigmentation or darker skin types when appropriate.
Laser Coring
A more intensive mode that delivers energy in a broader pattern to engage more tissue and support greater collagen remodeling.
Physician Insight
“UltraClear is powerful because it is not one fixed treatment. The value comes from understanding how speed, depth, density, pulse width, coagulation, and scanner pattern can be adjusted for the patient in front of us.”Dr. Scott Gerrish
Honest Guidance
Could UltraClear Help You?
UltraClear may address the surface, scar, pigment, and laxity concerns below.
Fine lines and wrinklesSun damage and uneven pigmentationUneven skin textureEnlarged poresAcne scarsSelected surgical or traumatic scarsCrepey skinMild to moderate skin laxityAging of the neck and décolletéOverall skin quality and collagen remodeling
Selection depends on the concern being treated, skin type and pigmentation risk, scar or surface characteristics, prior treatment, and the desired intensity and recovery window. These factors also guide whether UltraClear is used alone, combined with another modality, or replaced by a different approach.
UltraClear may be a strong option when you:
- Want meaningful skin rejuvenation with a level of downtime tailored to your goals.
- Have more than one concern that may be addressed within a coordinated treatment plan.
- Prefer clinical guidance rather than trying to select a laser mode or treatment intensity yourself.
The Experience
What Treatment Feels Like
Topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand. A session generally takes about thirty minutes to an hour, depending on area and intensity. Most patients describe warm prickling during treatment; afterward, skin usually looks flushed and feels warm, similar to a sunburn.
Recovery
How Healing Tends to Unfold
Recovery varies with treatment intensity, area, and individual healing response. The pattern below is typical.
Immediately after
Redness and warmth are expected, and swelling may begin.
First 24 to 48 hours
Swelling and redness may increase, skin may feel warm or tight, and pinpoint crusting or bronzing may appear depending on treatment intensity.
Days 3 to 5
Peeling, dryness, or bronzing may become more noticeable, while swelling generally begins improving.
Days 5 to 7 and beyond
Surface healing continues and redness may persist depending on intensity, while skin quality keeps developing over the following weeks and months.
Safety and Suitability
What we review before treatment.
Every treatment has considerations that depend on your health, anatomy, skin type, medications, and goals. We review these before recommending care and again before treatment.
Skin type, pigmentation risk, and treatment intensity are reviewed before treatment because they affect both safety and recovery.

Where This Fits in Your Treatment Strategy
UltraClear addresses resurfacing goals such as texture, tone, fine lines, pigmentation, and surface quality. It may stand alone, follow deeper collagen remodeling, complement injectables, or form part of layered rejuvenation.

Questions, Answered Honestly
UltraClear FAQ
How many treatments will I need?
Some patients see meaningful change after one session; others benefit from a series. The number depends on the concern, skin, and treatment intensity.
When will I see results?
Some improvement may be visible once initial healing settles, and because collagen remodeling continues afterward, skin quality often keeps improving for several months.
Can UltraClear help acne scars?
Yes. Acne scarring is a common reason patients consider UltraClear, although improvement depends on the scar type and depth.
Is UltraClear appropriate for all skin types?
UltraClear can be used across a wide range of skin tones. Modes such as UltraGlide may help when lower localized thermal load is preferred, but skin type and pigmentation risk still affect candidacy.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
Lighter treatments may involve only temporary redness; deeper resurfacing may require several days of visible healing before normal activities feel comfortable.
