Acclaro UltraClear
IN ST. LOUIS, MO
Ideal for patients seeking smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin, UltraClear™ safely treats a wide range of skin concerns on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
What Can Acclaro® UltraClear™ Treat?
UltraClear™ targets both surface imperfections and deeper skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and age spots
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Dull or rough skin
Because treatment depth can be customized, UltraClear™ is suitable for patients seeking anything from a gentle skin refresh to more intensive resurfacing.
How Acclaro® UltraClear™ Works
Unlike traditional ablative lasers that rely on high heat, UltraClear™ uses cold ablative fiber laser technology to create precise micro-channels in the skin. This controlled injury stimulates collagen and elastin production while preserving surrounding tissue, resulting in:
- Faster healing
- Reduced discomfort
- Lower risk of post-treatment complications
Your provider can adjust treatment intensity based on your skin type, goals, and desired downtime.

After treatment, you may experience redness, mild swelling, and a sandpaper-like texture as the skin heals. Recovery time varies based on treatment intensity and can range from a few days to about a week.

A private consultation at Parkcrest Aesthetics Center will determine if UltraClear aligns with your skin goals.

- Scars and acne scars

It enhances tone, texture, and firmness with precision and minimal downtime.
How is UltraClear different from other lasers?
UltraClear uses cold fiber laser technology, which minimizes thermal (heat) damage, reduces downtime, and accelerates the healing process.
Traditional resurfacing lasers rely heavily on heat, which can increase recovery time.
Is UltraClear safe for all skin types?
A: Yes! It is safe for all skin types, including patients who may not be ideal candidates for ablative and non-ablative lasers.
A consultation with providers at Parkcrest Plastic Surgery Aesthetics Center will determine your treatment plan and timing.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is typically applied to maximize comfort.
You may feel mild warmth or a light prickling sensation during treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
UltraClear has multiple modalities, so treatment time varies:
- Superficial treatments (e.g., 3D Miracle): ~15 minutes
- Moderate to advanced treatments: up to 45 minutes
Including numbing time, plan for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
How long is the downtime?
Downtime depends on treatment intensity:
- 3D Miracle: 1–3 days
- Moderate treatment: 5–7 days
- Advanced (deep resurfacing): 7–10 days
Post-care is essential, and providers will guide you on proper aftercare.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your aesthetic goals and treatment intensity. Many patients achieve results with 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Your provider may recommend a series of 3D Miracle treatments or a combination approach using multiple UltraClear modes for deeper concerns.
UltraClear is not a one-and-done treatment but is an easy solution to incorporate into your skincare plan.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice a glow and improved texture within 1–2 weeks after a 3D Miracle treatment.
Collagen production begins around 6 weeks, while deeper treatments continue improving skin over several months.
Results can continue to improve for up to 6 months post-treatment.
