The glow-giving skin refreshA gentle surface treatment to brighten dull skin, even out tone and soften early sun damage. It's quick and comfortable, usually needs no numbing cream, and most people head straight back to their day.
Deeper renewal for lines, spots and scarsWorks deeper in the skin to target age spots, fine lines, uneven texture and acne scarring, while encouraging fresh collagen.
UltraClear Laser Treatment
Whether it’s years of sun, the marks acne can leave behind, or the gradual changes that come with time, UltraClear® can be tailored to a wide range of skin concerns.
UltraClear® is an advanced fractional laser that renews the skin in thousands of tiny, precise zones. The untouched skin in between helps it heal more quickly. As it heals, fresh skin forms and new collagen builds over the following months.
As the world’s first cold ablative fractional fibre laser, it sends far less heat into the skin than traditional resurfacing lasers. Treatments are typically more comfortable, recovery is quicker, and it can be used across all skin types.
It was named Best Laser Treatment for All Skin Tones in the NewBeauty Awards 2023 and 2024.
After a careful consultation, we’ll choose the right level and settings for your skin, your goals and how much recovery time suits you.

How it can help
Years of UV exposure build up in the skin, showing as brown spots, freckling and a generally uneven or dull tone. IPL can work well for pigment on its own. However, when sun damage has also affected the texture and quality of the skin, resurfacing can treat both at the same time. UltraClear® removes damaged surface cells while encouraging fresh skin to form, helping to reveal a clearer, more even complexion.
Age spots and patches of uneven pigment often become more noticeable over time, even when the rest of your skin feels healthy. UltraClear® works in the upper layers of the skin, where much of this pigment sits, helping stubborn brown spots gradually fade as fresh skin forms. Because it's suitable for all skin types, it can also be an option where IPL may not be. Some pigmentation, such as melasma, needs careful consideration, so we'll always start with a consultation.
Rough, uneven or congested-looking skin is often a sign that the skin's natural renewal has slowed down. Because IPL works beneath the surface, it isn't designed to change skin texture. UltraClear® resurfaces the skin, smoothing its surface and helping to refine the look of enlarged pores. Many people find their skin looks and feels smoother within a couple of weeks.
Resurfacing can improve visible fine lines and crepey skin at the surface, while also encouraging longer-term collagen renewal beneath it. Collagen continues to rebuild for around three to six months after treatment, so results tend to keep improving over time.
Acne scars can leave the skin with an uneven, pitted texture that makeup often can’t hide. UltraClear® renews the skin in thousands of tiny, precise zones, encouraging fresh skin and new collagen to form, which can gradually soften the look of scarring. Deeper scarring may need a course of treatments – we’ll talk you through what to expect at your consultation.
Sometimes there isn't one particular concern, just skin that looks tired, dull or not quite as fresh as it used to. Our lightest treatment, 3DMIRACL®, gently renews the skin's surface to bring back glow and radiance, with minimal downtime. Where tone, texture and fine lines all need attention, UltraClear® can treat them together as part of a personalised plan designed around your skin.
UltraClear Laser Treatment
UltraClear® uses a 2,910nm cold fibre laser, a wavelength that is very strongly absorbed by the water in your skin. This allows your practitioner to treat very precise areas of damaged skin while keeping the heat around them to a minimum.
Once treated, your skin’s natural repair process takes over. It renews the surface and builds fresh collagen beneath it, and this continues for several months.
The depth and intensity can be adjusted to suit you. A lighter treatment may focus on glow, pigmentation and early sun damage, while deeper settings can be used for more noticeable texture, lines or acne scarring.
Rather than treating every concern the same way, your practitioner will recommend the right approach for you at your consultation.
Choosing your treatment
Both treatments use the same cold fibre laser. The difference is how deeply it works, and how much downtime you’d like to allow.
| 3DMIRACL® | UltraClear® | |
|---|---|---|
| Level | One · Refresh | Two · Renew |
| Works on | The surface of the skin | Deeper in the skin, encouraging fresh collagen |
| Ideal for | Glow, tone, texture and early sun damage | Sun damage, fine lines, texture and acne scars |
| Treatment time | Around 10–20 minutes | Around 10–20 minutes per area |
| Comfort | Usually no numbing cream needed | Numbing cream keeps you comfortable |
| Downtime | Minimal – usually a little pinkness for a day or two | 3–5 days, with make-up usually from day 4 or 5 |
Your practitioner can combine both treatments in a single appointment, for a plan that’s truly personal to your skin.

Why us
Your questions answered
UltraClear is an advanced 2910 nm cold-fibre fractional laser used for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. Different treatment settings allow it to address concerns including sun damage, pigmentation, uneven tone and texture, fine lines and acne scarring.
They are different technologies and are used in different ways.
UltraClear is primarily a fractional laser skin-resurfacing platform, treating microscopic areas of the skin to encourage renewal and collagen remodelling. UltraLUX PRO is a multi-technology platform that includes IPL and other applications used for concerns including pigmentation, redness, hair reduction and skin rejuvenation.

UltraClear® is the latest generation of resurfacing technology and a step on from traditional CO2 lasers. CO2 lasers rely on heat, which can mean a longer, more uncomfortable recovery and a higher risk of pigment changes, particularly in darker skin. UltraClear® uses cold fibre laser technology to resurface the skin with far less heat, so it can deliver excellent results with much less downtime.
Yes. UltraClear® is designed for all skin types, including deeper skin tones, which many traditional lasers can’t safely treat.Accordion Content
UltraClear was designed to reduce unnecessary thermal injury compared with traditional resurfacing technologies, and its manufacturer supports its use across all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Suitability still needs to be assessed individually, particularly when treating pigmentation, and your practitioner will consider your skin type, medical history and treatment goals before recommending treatment.
You may begin noticing improvement as the surface of your skin heals and renews. Deeper changes develop more gradually as collagen remodelling continues.
The manufacturer advises that progressive collagen-related improvement can continue for around 3–6 months following treatment.
Does it hurt? UltraClear® is known for its comfort. 3DMIRACL® usually needs no numbing cream at all. For deeper treatments, a numbing cream keeps you comfortable. Afterwards, your skin may feel warm, like mild sunburn.
Many people see a difference after just one treatment. Your practitioner may recommend a short course, depending on the treatment and your goals. As fresh collagen builds over the following months, your skin continues to improve.Accordion Content
