Revolutionary Cold CO2 Laser
Advanced UltraClear Laser Resurfacing in Denver
The desire for smooth, youthful skin is universal, but the path to achieving it has traditionally involved a difficult trade-off: effective results often came with significant pain and lengthy downtime. For years, traditional CO2 lasers set the standard for erasing wrinkles and sun damage, but the intense heat they generated meant weeks of recovery and discomfort. Today, that narrative has changed. You no longer have to choose between powerful results and your active lifestyle. If you are searching for a laser resurfacing treatment that delivers the gold-standard efficacy of CO2 without the downtime, the UltraClear Laser is the breakthrough you have been waiting for.

What is UltraClear Laser and How is it Different?
The UltraClear Laser represents a paradigm shift in skin resurfacing. It is the first device to utilize "cold CO2" technology. Traditional lasers work by delivering intense heat to the skin to vaporize damaged tissue, but this excess heat can cause pain and prolonged healing. The UltraClear cold laser operates at a specific wavelength (2910 nm) that targets water in the skin cells with extreme precision.
Because it is so precise, it vaporizes the targeted tissue instantly without allowing heat to spread to the surrounding skin. This means it effectively removes dull, damaged layers and stimulates collagen production without the thermal injury associated with older devices. The result is a treatment that is just as effective as traditional resurfacing but significantly more comfortable and with a much faster recovery time. It is the ideal solution for patients who want maximum results with minimum disruption to their lives.
What Skin Concerns Can UltraClear Treat?
This versatile platform is designed to address the full spectrum of aging and skin quality concerns. It is highly effective at smoothing deep wrinkles, fine lines, and crow's feet, restoring a smoother texture to the face. It also excels at correcting pigmentation issues, such as sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone, which are common complaints for our Colorado patients.
Beyond anti-aging, UltraClear is a powerful tool for scar revision, including acne scars and surgical scars. Its unique cold ablation technology also makes it safe for treating delicate areas that traditional lasers often avoid, such as the eyelids and around the mouth. Whether you are looking to erase years of sun damage or simply want a "lunchtime" polish to give your skin a radiant glow, Dr. Stewart can customize the depth of the laser to meet your specific needs.
Does the Treatment Hurt?
One of the most remarkable benefits of the UltraClear system is the significantly reduced level of discomfort compared to traditional lasers. Because it is an UltraClear cold laser, it eliminates the sensation of intense heat that many patients fear. For lighter treatments (often called the "3DMiracl"), most patients report feeling little to no pain and do not even require numbing cream.
For deeper, more intensive resurfacing modes, we apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your complete comfort. Dr. Stewart’s priority is always the patient experience. By using this advanced technology, we can offer deep structural renewal without the "ouch" factor. Patients often describe the sensation as a light tingling or snapping, a vast improvement over the intense burning sensation of older CO2 devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Expect From Laser Resurfacing Before and After?
When viewing laser resurfacing before and after photos with UltraClear, the transformation is often profound. Before treatment, skin may appear leathery, wrinkled, or spotted with pigment. After the healing process, the new skin emerges looking tighter, brighter, and incredibly smooth.
The speed of this transformation is also a key benefit. With traditional lasers, redness and rawness could persist for weeks. With UltraClear, the "cold" nature of the ablation means the skin heals much faster. You might experience some redness and mild peeling (like a sunburn) for a few days, but the profound swelling and weeping associated with old-school CO2 lasers are largely a thing of the past. You get the dramatic "after" results of aggressive resurfacing—erased lines and cleared pigment—in a fraction of the time.
Is UltraClear Safe for All Skin Types?
Safety is a critical consideration in laser medicine. Historically, aggressive lasers were risky for patients with darker skin tones due to the high risk of hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) caused by excess heat. Because the UltraClear limits thermal damage so effectively, it is significantly safer for a wider range of skin types, including Asian and darker skin tones that were previously not candidates for CO2 resurfacing.
At ASD of Cherry Creek, Dr. Stewart’s expertise is vital here. While the technology is safer, it still requires a board-certified dermatologist to assess your skin type and adjust the settings appropriately. Searching for "UltraClear laser near me" will lead you to various providers, but Dr. Stewart’s medical background ensures that your safety is never compromised. She understands the biology of pigment and healing, allowing her to treat you with confidence and precision.
How Much Does UltraClear Laser Resurfacing Cost?
The cost of UltraClear laser treatment varies based on the intensity of the treatment (light peel vs. deep resurfacing) and the areas being treated. A quick "lunchtime peel" will cost less than a comprehensive structural remodeling session for deep wrinkles. We view this as a premium investment in your appearance that offers high value due to its combination of efficacy and low downtime.
While you might find cheaper options for laser resurfacing near you, these often involve older, painful technologies or less experienced providers. At ASD of Cherry Creek, you are paying for the latest "cold fiber" technology and the peace of mind that comes with Dr. Stewart’s oversight. We provide a clear, customized quote during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about your skin’s future.
