Great skin requires the right tools. At Body by Bloch in Highland Park, laser skin resurfacing is a core part of maintaining a healthy, refined complexion, and we use the UltraClear laser because its cold fiber technology allows us to work with exact precision. It gently polishes away damaged cells, smooths out rough texture, and jumpstarts your body's collagen production using significantly less heat than older devices. You get smoother, firmer skin and a recovery timeline that actually makes sense for your schedule.
Laser skin resurfacing is a clinical medical procedure that uses targeted laser energy to clear away damaged tissue layer by layer, forcing your body to build fresh, tighter skin.
This treatment is like a reset button for your skin. By gently removing surface damage, the laser tells your cells to rebuild from the inside out. We use it to erase years of heavy sun exposure and smooth out stubborn acne scars. The correction is real and visible.

We use precise laser energy to fix multiple skin concerns at the exact same time. Our patients expect visible improvements across the board.
Instead of relying on massive amounts of heat that cause prolonged swelling, UltraClear utilizes a cold fiber delivery system. It pulses light energy into your tissue to vaporize the top layer of dead skin while keeping the surrounding area remarkably cool. This triggers your body's healing cascade of elastin and collagen to flood the targeted zones and repair the micro-damage.
Sacrificing a month of your life to peeling and intense redness is no longer your only option for glowing skin. With skin rejuvenation treatments like UltraClear, your aesthetic treatments can elevate your lifestyle without completely interrupting it. The UltraClear device delivers effective skin correction alongside a surprisingly easy, shorter recovery than traditional lasers.
We sit down with you at our med spa to ensure this device targets your aesthetic goals.
If you are dealing with chronic sun damage, coarse texture, or prominent acne scars, you are an excellent fit. Highland Park patients seeking a powerful anti-aging solution rely heavily on this treatment. We use it to create a visibly younger-looking skin surface.
We never perform laser procedures over active infections or severe acne flare-ups. Your medical safety comes first. We clear up the underlying condition before touching your skin tone with a laser.
Pre-treatment care directly impacts your final result. We ask you to follow a few simple rules:
We value your time. Our experienced team keeps things efficient and comfortable.
Healing is swift and uncomplicated. We send you home with detailed aftercare instructions.
Your face looks flushed right after we finish. It mimics the sensation and appearance of a moderate sunburn.
Plan to lie low for one to three days. The redness fades fast, and our patients routinely resume normal activities by the weekend.
Avoid the gym for 48 hours because sweat stings the newly treated skin. Keep makeup off the face for two days. Complete sun avoidance is mandatory.
We hand you specific clinical ointments. You must keep the skin heavily hydrated. Apply the products exactly as prescribed to ensure safe healing.
The physical changes occur in highly predictable stages.
The physical restructuring is incredibly durable. Our patients enjoy their natural-looking results for six months to multiple years. You will naturally continue to age, and UV exposure remains the biggest threat to your new collagen. We combat this by establishing a strategic maintenance schedule to protect your investment.
Most individuals require one to three visits. A simple surface polish takes a single session. Erasing dense acne scars requires deeper settings and a few extra rounds to achieve maximum results. We map out the exact treatment timeline during your initial evaluation.
