Why Do Scars Form?
Scars appear as part of a natural process when the body repairs a wound. If skin is injured from trauma, an accident, a burn, or surgery, the body quickly produces collagen fibers that close the wound. The fibers often align in a disorganized pattern. A scar then looks and feels different from the surrounding skin.
Medical literature describes this process as scar modeling. During the early phase, fibroblasts fill the injured area; they place new collagen. Then remodeling happens, but the tissue is still raised, depressed, or discolored. Specialized treatments, like laser skin resurfacing, are often necessary to improve texture and appearance.
Introducing UltraClear™ Laser
The UltraClear™ laser has a particular ability to resurface skin without a safety compromise. Other devices had greater risks for darker skin tones, but UltraClear™ is safe for all ethnicities. Patients from many backgrounds in Northern Virginia and Washington DC, trust The Naderi Center because they know results will be natural and predictable.
What Makes UltraClear™ Different?
“We treat patients of all skin types—from very fair to very dark—and the UltraClear has consistently delivered smooth, reliable results,” says Dr. Naderi. “That inclusivity is one of the reasons we’ve made it our favorite laser for scar treatment.”
At The Naderi Center, we use a multi-device approach to resurfacing. Our suite includes the Lumenis UltraPulse CO2 laser, the Sciton Joule Erbium laser, and the UltraClear™. Each tool has a place in cosmetic and medical dermatology. The UltraClear™ has become the leader for scar removal because of its adaptability and minimal recovery time.
Is It Safe for All Skin Types?
The UltraClear™ device is non-ablative; it keeps the outer layer of skin intact and delivers energy below the surface. This is very safe, especially for darker skin that often shows hyperpigmentation from traditional ablative lasers.
“Safety is always our top priority,” emphasizes Dr. Naderi. “Patients trust us because they know we’ll never compromise on technology, training, or oversight. UltraClear™ delivers both safety and results.”
Types of Scars Treated with UltraClear™
Scars from trauma can vary widely. A childhood bike accident may leave a small scar on the forehead. A deep surgical cut may leave a thick scar on the body. From auto crashes or sports injuries come scars that are not even. Even scars from surgery, like after C-sections or tummy tucks, leave reminders. For each of the events, a specific method is necessary. UltraClear™ lets us target and change damaged tissue with precision.
Can UltraClear™ Treat Body Scars Too?
Scarring is not limited to the face. The UltraClear™ laser can also be used on the body, including the neck, chest, arms, abdomen, and legs. At The Naderi Center, we frequently treat patients from Vienna, Ashburn, and Great Falls who want improvement on both facial and non-facial scars.
How UltraClear™ for Reducing Scars Works
The laser resurfacing procedure creates microcolumns of injury in the skin. A small injury causes the body to remodel collagen in an organized way. With many sessions, the scar tissue softens and color evens out. Smoother skin replaces the uneven fibers of the scar.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Most patients require multiple sessions. Some improvement appears after just one UltraClear™ treatment, but a series of three to five sessions often produces very good results. Each session builds upon the last, progressively reducing the scar’s appearance.
Are Results Permanent?
Patients often ask if scar removal is permanent. The answer depends on the scar type, the location along with individual healing. No treatment removes a scar completely. The UltraClear™ treatment minimizes its appearance. That often causes the scar to blend with nearby skin.
UltraClear™ Downtime and Recovery
One attribute of UltraClear™ is that it allows for much improvement with less downtime compared to older laser systems. The majority of patients experience just mild redness and swelling for a few days before they return to work and social activities.
In Reston and McLean, where many patients have busy professional lives, this reduced downtime is especially appealing. Patients appreciate the balance between effective results and minimal disruption to their routines.

Benefits of UltraClear™ for Scars
Some patients come to us after trying treatments elsewhere that produced little or no improvement. In many of these cases, UltraClear™ provides the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for.
The psychological benefits appear just as important as the physical ones. Patients often say that they no longer feel the need to cover up with makeup or clothing after scar treatment. With that freedom, life is different.
Why Not Creams or Topical Treatments?
In comparison to over-the-counter scar creams or topical treatments that have a small impact on deep scars, UltraClear™ goes beneath the skin. Through this deep remodeling, laser resurfacing differs from temporary or surface solutions.
Patient Case
This lovely patient of Pakistani heritage, skin type IV, came to The Naderi Center seeking a solution for skin rejuvenation and underwent two sessions of the revolutionary UltraClear™ Laser treatment. There is significant improvement with acne scarring and skin texture. These photos show the difference between session one and session two of the UltraClear performed 8 weeks apart. Prior to UltraClear™ technology, this patient would never have been a candidate for moderate to deep skin resurfacing.
Expertise at The Naderi Center
The Naderi Center has much experience with laser skin resurfacing. Its board-certified facial plastic surgeons and dermatologists are qualified to treat difficult scars. Patients who want physician-led care seek the center because of its reputation for safety as well as quality.
“Having your scar treated by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist ensures you’re in the hands of a true expert,” says Dr. Naderi. “We understand not only how the skin heals, but also the aesthetics of how it should look afterward.”
How Is Each Laser Treatment Customized?
While UltraClear™ is our go-to device for scars, we carefully evaluate each case. The Lumenis UltraPulse CO2 or the Sciton Joule Erbium laser are sometimes a proper choice. This ability to match the correct technology to the correct patient sets The Naderi Center apart.
Laser scar removal is also highly customizable. The treatment parameters, such as energy, depth along with spacing, are adjustable. A medical professional adapts the settings to the patient’s skin and the scar’s appearance.
