Revitalize Your Skin with UltraClear™ in Reston VA at WellMedica
Introduction: A New Era of Skin Rejuvenation in Reston VA
At WellMedica, a premier cosmetic medical center in Reston VA, patients are offered the latest and most advanced aesthetic treatments tailored to their unique needs. Dr. Dima Ali, a renowned cosmetic physician, is proud to introduce UltraClear™—an innovative, non-invasive laser technology that revolutionizes skin rejuvenation. Whether you're seeking to reduce fine lines, sun damage, or scars, UltraClear in Reston VA is the transformative solution you’ve been waiting for.
What is UltraClear™?
UltraClear™ is a state-of-the-art skin rejuvenation treatment powered by cold fiber laser technology, designed to safely and effectively address multiple signs of facial aging. What makes this technology groundbreaking is its ability to deliver fractional, ablative sub-pulses without the excessive heat associated with traditional lasers. This means less downtime, minimal discomfort, and superior outcomes for all skin types.
Unlike conventional lasers that rely heavily on heat and often come with significant recovery times and limitations for darker skin tones, UltraClear™ provides a gentler yet more powerful treatment. By creating microchannels in the skin, it promotes natural exfoliation, stimulates collagen production, and renews the skin from within—resulting in smoother, clearer, tighter, and younger-looking skin.

WellMedica provides a full spectrum of cosmetic and medical aesthetic procedures—from facial rejuvenation and body contouring to sexual wellness, dermatological procedures, and weight loss programs.
How Does UltraClear™ Work?
UltraClear™ harnesses cold laser energy to create microthermal zones in the skin, known as microchannels. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging cell turnover and collagen synthesis without causing excessive inflammation or damage.
Each session precisely targets:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Sunspots and age spots
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Uneven skin tone and texture
The fractional energy delivery means only a portion of the skin is treated at a time, allowing for quicker recovery and significantly reduced risk of side effects.
Treatment Process: What to Expect with UltraClear™ in Reston VA
Step 1: Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at WellMedica in Reston VA. Dr. Dima evaluates your skin type, discusses your goals, and determines if UltraClear™ is right for you.
Step 2: Preparation
A numbing cream is applied for maximum comfort. There is no need for sedation or general anesthesia.
Step 3: Laser Application
Using the UltraClear™ handpiece, the cold fiber laser is precisely guided over the treatment area. Patients report a mild tingling or warm sensation, but no pain.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
Mild redness may be visible for a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the intensity of the treatment. Proper skin care and sun protection are essential for optimal healing.
Who is a Good Candidate for UltraClear™?

How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on your specific goals. Most patients see improvement after just one session, with continued enhancements in skin tone and texture over several weeks. However, for deeper wrinkles, scarring, or significant sun damage, a series of 2–4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended.
Complementary Treatments at WellMedica
At WellMedica, UltraClear™ can be combined with other treatments to create a comprehensive anti-aging plan:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced healing
- Microneedling to further stimulate collagen
- Injectables (Botox®, fillers) for dynamic wrinkles and volume loss
- Hormone Therapy and Sexual Wellness Services for overall vitality
- Weight Loss Programs to complement facial rejuvenation with full-body wellness
This whole-body approach sets WellMedica apart as a leader in integrative cosmetic medicine in Reston VA.

WHAT CAN THE ULTRACLEAR™ LASER DO?
Superficial 3DMIRACL™ Resurfacing is a superficial, fast treatment, also dubbed a "lunchtime treatment". This treatment produces a healthy glow to your skin while helping reduce fine wrinkles, lines, and skin discoloration and improve overall skin texture. Nothing is one and done, so series of 3 - 6 treatments may be recommended every 4 - 6 weeks. Results for 3DMIRACL last a few months, then patients may come in for a touch-up treatment.
UltraClear™ offers customized treatments for deeper fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration. Deeper modes remove damaged tissue and stimulate the production of fresh, new collagen and elastin, the critical building blocks for healthier skin.
UltraClear™ can also be used to treat unwanted scars. This system is highly effective for treating scars on face and body, including those caused by trauma, surgery, acne, and burns. The treatment of some scars may require a combination of medical or surgical intervention with laser treatment.
UltraClear™ is also a popular treatment for skin rejuvenation. Traditional skin resurfacing lasers are typically limited in use due to the high risk of scaring and other complications. Because of the minimal amount of thermal injury that the UltraClear™ laser produces, it is extremely versatile and can be used on the face, neck, arms, and other areas to improve skin texture and color on all skin types.
HOW MANY ULTRACLEAR™ TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Depending on your goals, Dr Dima may recommend a series of 3DMIRACL™ treatments or a combination utilizing multiple UltraClear™ modes to address deeper lines, wrinkles, and scars on the face and body. After a single UltraClear™ laser treatment, patients notice improvements in their skin in as little as 2 days. Deeper resurfacing results can last anywhere from 1 - 5 years.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER ULTRACLEAR™ TREATMENT?
Before Treatment
- Stay away from the sun for at least 3-4 weeks prior to treatment.
- Stop using exfoliating products at least 1 week prior to treatment.
- Keep your skin protected with SPF 30+ daily.
- Increase water intake.
During Treatment
UltraClear™ laser treatments often take only 15 minutes, and no anesthetic cream is required for our patients to stay comfortable during treatment. After cleansing your skin, the UltraClear™ “cold laser" handpiece is guided over the treatment area.
After Treatment
- Slight warm feeling like sunburn sensation for a few hours post-procedure.
- Mild redness
- Mild pain
- Slight swelling (typical with deeper UltraClear™ modes)
- Pinpoint bleeding (typical with deeper UltraClear™ modes)
3DMIRACL™
Since the treatment is superficial in the uppermost layer pf skin with no dermal exposure, minimal downtime is required. The skin may appear slightly red and swollen for a few hours post-procedure.
Deep UltraClear™
Using deeper customized modes will expose your dermis layer, which requires 2 - 3 days of downtime. Redness, mild swelling, and possible pinpoint bleeding in the areas treated more deeply may be experienced. Compared to other resurfacing devices, the downtime is very minimal.
RECOMMENDED TO AVOID (DAYS 1 & 2):
- NO sunscreen on days 1 or 2.
- NO alcohol, spicy, or hot foods until day 2.
- NO exercise: defer activity until redness or swelling subside on day 3.
- NO sun or any environmental exposures like wind, extreme cold, and ocean water.
- NO product use other than those recommended or given to you by your provider.
- NO cosmetics, unless you have a “new” brush or product. Previously used cosmetics may harbor bacteria that can cause infection. Otherwise, you may apply cosmetics on days 2 - 3 if comfortable.
- NO ice (especially frozen vegetable packets) directly on the skin, especially if you are still numb from pre-treatment topical analgesic mixture, immediately post-treatment. There is no way to ensure what you got from the grocery store freezer is “clean”.
- NO ice/ice baths for 72 hours. Cold water is fine. Ice after 72 hours can increase swelling. This includes “small” ice packs. The skin should be cooled evenly with a full mask or a moist, cooled hand towel. Covering the full treatment with small ice packs in isolated areas may promote uneven healing and leave hot spots.
- NO cleansers or products with acids, high alcohol content, botanicals, or multiple ingredient menus. The more ingredients on the label, the harder it will be to extrapolate what caused a negative reaction post-treatment.
- NO direct contact with pets, unclean surfaces, or touching treatment areas during the healing/sloughing process. Clean towels, pillowcases, and surface areas touching treatment zones are a must.
RECOMMENDED TO AVOID (DAYS 3 - 5):
- NO prescription or acid-based products until your practitioner has cleared you for use. This could be anywhere from day 5 to 14 depending on the depth and degree of your treatment.
- NO picking, rubbing, scrubbing, or exfoliating while the skin is sloughing.
- NO prescription medications (like retinols) or adjunct laser treatments until you are cleared by your treating provider.
- NO direct contact with pets, unclean surfaces, or touching treatment areas during healing/sloughing process. Clean towels, pillowcases, and surface areas touching treatment zones are a must.
