At Medical & Aesthetic Dermatology, we believe in offering innovative and personalized solutions for your skin concerns. Our laser resurfacing treatments, including Ultralase and Clear & Brilliant, provide advanced options for rejuvenating your skin and restoring a youthful glow. Laser resurfacing is a proven way to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and other skin imperfections, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
What Is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to improve the texture and tone of your skin. By removing or resurfacing the outer layers of damaged skin, laser treatments stimulate collagen production and accelerate the natural healing process. This results in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Our Laser Resurfacing Options
1. Ultralase
Ultralase is a high-power laser treatment that addresses more pronounced skin issues, such as deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and acne scars. This advanced resurfacing option penetrates deeply into the skin layers to promote collagen production and deliver dramatic results. Ultralase is ideal for patients looking for a comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment.
Benefits of Ultralase:
- Reduces deep lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin texture and firmness
- Treats acne scars and other pigmentation concerns
- Long-lasting results with fewer sessions needed
2. Clear & Brilliant
Clear & Brilliant is a gentler laser resurfacing option designed for those looking to maintain youthful skin or address early signs of aging. This treatment is perfect for individuals who want a more subtle refresh with minimal downtime. It helps to improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance overall skin radiance.
Benefits of Clear & Brilliant:
- Minimizes fine lines and evens out skin tone
- Reduces pore size and enhances skin luminosity
- Quick, non-invasive treatment with minimal recovery time
- Suitable for all skin types and great for maintenance

Q&A Section
Q: What is the difference between Ultralase and Clear & Brilliant?
A: Ultralase is a more intensive laser resurfacing treatment designed for deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and scars. It penetrates deeply into the skin to provide more dramatic results. Clear & Brilliant, on the other hand, is a gentler option that addresses early signs of aging, brightens skin tone, and refines texture with minimal downtime.
Q: How many sessions will I need for optimal results?
A: The number of sessions required depends on the treatment and your specific skin concerns. Ultralase may need fewer sessions to achieve significant improvement, while Clear & Brilliant typically requires a series of treatments to maintain optimal skin health. Your dermatologist will provide a personalized recommendation during your consultation.
Q: What can I expect during and after a laser resurfacing session?
A: Both Ultralase and Clear & Brilliant treatments are performed in-office and generally take 30-60 minutes. You may experience a warm, tingling sensation during the procedure. Afterward, some redness and mild swelling are common but should subside within a few days. Recovery time varies, with Clear & Brilliant offering faster recovery than Ultralase.
Q: Are laser resurfacing treatments safe for all skin types?
A: Yes, Clear & Brilliant is safe for all skin types, while Ultralase may require more careful consideration for darker skin tones to prevent pigmentation issues. Our team will evaluate your skin type and customize the treatment accordingly.
Q: How long do the results last?
A: The results of laser resurfacing can last several months to years, depending on the treatment and your skincare routine. Ultralase results are typically more long-lasting, while Clear & Brilliant is excellent for regular maintenance.
Q: Is there any downtime associated with these treatments?
A: Clear & Brilliant requires minimal downtime, with most patients resuming their regular activities the next day. Ultralase may involve a longer recovery period, with redness and peeling lasting up to a week.
