Heat-based treatments are popular, but they’re not for everyone. Here, Jessica Ourisman reviews her experience with UltraClear, a so-called “cold” laser.
and wore sunglasses and a hat to protect my skin from UV-rays.
For the first day after the treatment, applying actives stung like crazy. That first night, the stinging surprised me so much, I ran down the hallway of my house as my dogs watched in surprise. To help soothe the stinging, I opted for my favorite post-treatment sheet mask, , which imparts a cooling effect for up to two hours using only sterile water and biocellulose, and also helps the active ingredients I had applied to penetrate.—20 minutes of green light in the morning, 20 minutes of red light in the evening—which simultaneously treated my dermatitis and soothed the lasered skin.As with any peel or laser treatment, the healing process involves mild scabbing of the skin, which then dries and flakes off.
By day four, when the majority of the peeling had finished, I was able to see patches of the new skin. It looked smooth, soft, glowing, and I could not even spot my pores. The interesting thing about treating only my cheeks is that it allowed me a close-up look at the difference in texture between my treated and untreated skin. On my forehead, which was untreated, I could see faint lines—not wrinkles, simply texture—with more prominently visible pores and slight unevenness in tone in spots.
To be clear, UltraClear is not the first cold laser to hit the market. The CO₂ CoolPeel has been around since 2019, offering a less-invasive “peel” for patients looking to reduce fine lines, sun damage, and pore size. But I was curious about whether the UltraClear’s launch indicated a general industry trend toward cold lasers.
