If you’re researching laser skin resurfacing in Miami, you’ve likely encountered two names: UltraClear and CO2 laser. Both treat skin texture, wrinkles, and scars — but they work very differently, with very different downtime and safety profiles.
This guide breaks down both technologies so you can make an informed decision. Questions? Message us on WhatsApp or call (786) 966-7878.
CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser is one of the most established ablative laser technologies. It removes the outer layers of skin using heat energy, triggering a wound-healing response that stimulates significant collagen production.
The trade-off is substantial downtime — typically 7–14 days of redness, peeling, and recovery. CO2 laser also carries a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), requiring careful patient selection.
UltraClear is a next-generation cold fiber laser (1940nm wavelength) developed specifically to address the limitations of traditional ablative lasers. It uses a fractional approach to deliver precise laser energy while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

For mild to moderate acne scars, UltraClear delivers excellent results with significantly less downtime and lower PIH risk. For deep, severe ice-pick or boxcar scars, fractional CO2 or a combination approach may produce more dramatic improvement. Your AestheteMed provider will assess your scar type during your free consultation.
Yes. UltraClear pairs exceptionally well with Morpheus8 (deeper tissue tightening), PRP (accelerated healing), and medical-grade skincare. Many patients at AestheteMed combine UltraClear resurfacing with Morpheus8 for a complete non-surgical skin transformation.
UltraClear pricing at AestheteMed depends on the treatment mode and area. AM Club members save 30% on all services. Visit our price list or call (786) 966-7878 for current pricing. Check our promotions page for active offers.
Many patients achieve significant improvement with a single medium or full resurfacing session. For progressive improvement with minimal downtime, a series of 2–3 light mode sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended. Ask us on WhatsApp which protocol suits your goals.
Yes. UltraClear’s cold fiber technology produces less thermal damage than CO2 laser, making it safer across Fitzpatrick III–V skin tones. A consultation at AestheteMed with our licensed medical team confirms the appropriate settings for your skin.
