What Makes the Ultra Clear™ Laser Different from Other Skin Resurfacing Treatments?

November 19, 2025

A New Era of Laser Skin Resurfacing


When it comes to skin rejuvenation, not all lasers are created equal. The Ultra Clear™ Laser, available exclusively at Clearview Dermatology’s Arvada office, represents the next generation of laser resurfacing technology.


While traditional lasers like Fraxel® and CO2 have long been trusted to address wrinkles, texture, and pigmentation, Ultra Clear introduces a new level of precision, comfort, and recovery speed. For patients who want smoother, brighter skin without significant downtime, this laser adds another great option for Clearview patients!


What Is the Ultra Clear Laser?


The Ultra Clear Laser uses cold fiber laser technology to resurface the skin while minimizing heat exposure to surrounding tissue. This “cold ablation” process gently removes damaged skin layers and stimulates collagen production with significantly less redness and irritation than older methods.

It’s ideal for:


  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven texture or tone
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Acne scarring
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

Ultra Clear vs. Fraxel: Faster Recovery, Similar Results


Both the Ultra Clear and Fraxel Laser resurface the skin by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen renewal. The difference lies in how they deliver energy.


Fraxel uses fractional thermal energy, which can lead to temporary redness and flaking as the skin heals. Ultra Clear’s cold fiber approach reduces post-treatment inflammation, resulting in faster recovery and less visible irritation.


If you prefer a lighter treatment that delivers noticeable results with less downtime, Ultra Clear may be your better option.


Ultra Clear vs. CO2 Laser: Comfort and Customization


The CO2 Laser remains one of the most powerful tools for addressing deep wrinkles and significant texture concerns. However, it also involves more recovery time.


Ultra Clear provides a customizable experience—it can be adjusted from gentle resurfacing to moderate depth correction, depending on your skin’s needs. Patients who want visible improvement without taking several days off for healing often find this laser to be the perfect middle ground.


What About Redness and Vascular Concerns?


For issues like facial redness, rosacea, or visible capillaries, the Excel V+ Laser is a better match. It targets vascular lesions and pigmentation, complementing resurfacing treatments like Ultra Clear for overall skin tone correction.


Some patients combine Excel V+ and Ultra Clear for comprehensive rejuvenation—treating both texture and color concerns in one seasonal treatment plan.


Why It’s Only Available in Arvada


Ultra Clear is a specialized technology available at limited practices in Colorado, making Clearview Dermatology’s Arvada office one of the few clinics offering it.



This exclusivity, combined with our dermatologists’ experience in laser procedures, ensures patients receive advanced treatment tailored to Colorado’s high-altitude conditions and dry climate.
