At Leif Rogers, MD, we’re focused on bringing advanced, streamlined treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, Pasadena, and beyond. Our Ultra Clear treatments target scarring, sun damage, and uneven texture with a single customizable laser, ensuring quick, effective sessions.

One Laser, Precisely Tuned to You

Every patient's skin carries a different story. Here, we deliver Ultra Clear treatments tailored to your exact needs, regardless of the depth or severity of your scarring, sun damage, and texture concerns. Rather than a fixed protocol, we meet your skin exactly where it is to enhance and protect your long-term skin health.

What Is Ultra Clear?

Ultra Clear combines ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths in a single pass, allowing your treatment depth to be precisely adjusted to your skin's needs. This flexibility means that both more superficial concerns and more serious textural damage can be addressed without switching devices. Patients often choose Ultra Clear to achieve the following benefits:

Customizable treatment depth in one session
Improvement across mild to moderate scarring
Reduced appearance of sun damage and fine lines
A single laser platform for varied skin concerns

The LRMD Difference

Ultra Clear's effectiveness depends heavily on how its ablative and non-ablative settings are balanced, and this calibration is where experience matters most. Our team draws on years of laser resurfacing work across a wide range of skin types and concerns, allowing us to fine-tune each Ultra Clear session rather than defaulting to a one-size setting. Every treatment is directly supervised by our founder, Leif Rogers, a board-certified and Ivy League-trained plastic surgeon, to ensure your treatment aligns with your skin’s unique traits. Beyond technical calibration, patients throughout Beverly Hills and Pasadena choose our practice because every laser treatment is backed by a full plastic surgery practice. Any concern that arises during your skin journey, whether surgical or non-surgical, can be addressed under one roof by a team that already knows your history.

What to Expect From Your Ultra Clear Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Blending Two Advanced Technologies

Ultra Clear's ablative component removes damaged outer tissue, while its non-ablative wavelength simultaneously stimulates deeper collagen renewal. Your aesthetician will adjust the ratio between these two technologies based on whether your skin requires more surface change or deeper cellular rebuilding.

Addressing Your Exact Concerns

Ultra Clear is well-suited to a variety of skin concerns, and our patients’ most common treatment goals include the following:

Mild to moderate acne scarring
Fine lines and early textural aging
Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
Enlarged pores and rough texture

Your treatment plan will reflect the specific balance of concerns present in your skin. During your initial consultation, you’ll discuss your goals with your aesthetician to ensure a fully customized procedure.

Your Treatment Day Experience

To begin your session, your aesthetician will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing agent to keep you comfortable. Then, they’ll pass the Ultra Clear device over your treatment area at a calibrated depth and intensity setting to address your specific skin concerns. Sessions generally last 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Planning Your Session Schedule

Many patients see meaningful results from a single Ultra Clear session, though some choose to repeat treatment every 6-12 months to maintain results or address new areas of concern as they emerge. You’ll check in with your aesthetician regularly throughout this process to create a treatment plan that evolves with your complexion.

A Recovery Matched to Your Settings

Recovery after Ultra Clear treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena varies more than with other procedures, as the laser’s intensity is customized to your needs. Patients treated at a lighter setting often notice redness resolving within two to three days, while those receiving deeper treatment may experience redness, swelling, and light peeling for up to one week.

Your aesthetician will walk you through your specific settings and anticipated reactions before treatment, so you know what to expect during recovery. Most of our Beverly Hills and Pasadena patients return to work, social gatherings, and exercise within three days, but you may choose to wait until all redness and peeling have subsided. You’ll need to avoid direct, prolonged sun exposure for a few days to allow your skin to settle.

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your Ultra Clear session, our team will share aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment depth. This guidance may include the following:

Gentle cleansing routines suited to your skin's healing stage
Sun protection and exposure requirements
Ingredients and products to avoid
Moisturizing and hydration recommendations
Side effects to monitor
Guidance on when you can apply makeup again
Peeling and swelling management strategies

Within a few weeks, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for a short follow-up appointment with our team. There, your aesthetician will evaluate your healing progress and skin response before recommending any additional sessions.

Renewed Texture and Tone

Because Ultra Clear's settings are matched to your specific concerns, results reflect exactly what your skin needs. Most patients notice smoother texture and more even tone within two to four weeks, with continued improvement in deeper concerns over the following months.

Ultra Clear Frequently Asked Questions

How does my aesthetician decide what setting is right for my skin?

Your aesthetician will evaluate the depth of your scarring, sun damage, skin type, and overall skin sensitivity during your private consultation to determine the ideal balance of ablative and non-ablative energy for your Ultra Clear treatment.

Is Ultra Clear the same as CO2 resurfacing?

No. While both treatments use ablative technology, Ultra Clear combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single pass, allowing for greater customization and a wider range of treatment intensities than a traditional single-wavelength CO2 laser.

Can Ultra Clear be used on areas other than the face?

Yes. Ultra Clear can also treat the neck, chest, and hands to improve sun damage, pigmentation, and skin texture. Your treatment settings will be customized to safely and effectively address each treatment area.

Will I need to take time off work after treatment?

Recovery depends on the intensity of your treatment. Lighter Ultra Clear treatments often allow patients to return to normal activities within a few days, while deeper resurfacing treatments may require up to a week of visible healing.

How do I know if I need a repeat Ultra Clear treatment?

Your aesthetician will evaluate your progress during a follow-up visit and recommend additional treatments if further improvement in skin texture, scarring, pigmentation, or overall skin quality would help you achieve your goals.
