What is UltraClear? The Acne Scar Innovation Trusted by ELLE Magazine

The UltraClear Micro-Coring Program at KTC Clinic represents a major breakthrough in treating acne scars and improving skin texture. Recently honored with the “HOLISTIC FACIAL REJUVENATION” award by ELLE Thailand at the ELLE BEST OF BEAUTY: Wellness & In-Clinic Treatment 2025, this innovative program stands out in the rapidly evolving world of aesthetic technology.

With so many options available for skincare, KTC Clinic’s recognition highlights not only their commitment to high service standards but also the effectiveness of their treatments. The UltraClear Micro-Coring Program is designed to target acne scars specifically, providing patients with a promising solution to achieve smoother and more even skin.

This award is a clear indicator of the quality and results that KTC Clinic delivers, making it a noteworthy option for anyone looking to enhance their skin health and appearance.

Why Did KTC Clinic Win the “Holistic Facial Rejuvenation” Award from ELLE?

The ELLE Best of Beauty (BOB) 2025 award is not decided by technology alone; it evaluates “proven results and expertise.” KTC Clinic stands out remarkably in these key areas:

A Holistic Approach: We look beyond individual acne scars, focusing instead on revitalizing the overall skin structure to ensure it becomes stronger, healthier, and flawlessly smooth.
UltraClear Innovation (Micro-Coring Mode): A unique, one-of-a-kind technology that simultaneously releases stubborn acne scar tissue (fibrotic bands) and lifts/tightens the skin in a single treatment.
Highly Experienced Medical Team: Every single case is personally managed by expert physicians who precision-customize energy settings to suit each individual’s unique skin condition.

What is the UltraClear Micro-Coring Program?

If you’ve experienced Fractional

lasers or other ablative resurfacing options, you’re probably aware of the discomfort, extended redness, and potential for post-inflammatory burns that can accompany these treatments. The UltraClear Program, which includes the revolutionary Cold Fiber Laser, aims to overcome these challenges and provide a more comfortable and effective solution.

How the UltraClear Micro-Coring Program Works

The UltraClear Program utilizes a laser energy wavelength of 2,910 nm, which is the optimal spectrum for maximum water absorption in the skin. The energy is delivered into the skin layers at an exceptionally high speed (Cold Laser), triggering skin resurfacing and creating microscopic channels without accumulating excess thermal heat in the surrounding tissues.

Micro-Coring Mode: The core innovation that earned KTC Clinic its prestigious award is this specialized Micro-Coring technique. It deploys microscopic, cylindrical laser beams to precisely core into the acne scar tissue, creating tiny micro-wounds. As the skin undergoes its natural healing and tissue regeneration process, the surrounding healthy skin contracts and closes inward, effectively shallowing the acne scars and revealing a significantly smoother skin texture.

How Does Treating Acne Scars with UltraClear Differ from Other Methods? Many people may have experienced traditional acne scar treatments that are notoriously painful or require extensive downtime. However, at KTC Clinic, we utilize a revolutionary technology known as "Cold Laser":

No Accumulated Thermal Heat: Significantly reduces the risk of post-treatment burns or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH/dark spots).
Minimal Discomfort: Considerably less painful, making topical anesthesia (numbing cream) unnecessary for many treatment modes.
Visibly Noticeable Results: Noticeably shallower acne scars, tightened pores, and a brighter, more radiant complexion right from the very first session.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for the UltraClear Acne Scar Program?

Individuals with acne scars, including shallow to deep depressions like Boxcar and Rolling scars, may benefit from targeted treatments.
Those struggling with enlarged pores and uneven skin texture can also find effective solutions.
Additionally, anyone seeking to lift and tighten the skin while reducing wrinkles and addressing various skin imperfections would be well served by these treatments.
This is particularly suitable for people with limited downtime who prioritize high safety standards and minimal recovery time.

Results After 5 Days of the UltraClear Micro-Coring Program

Day 1: High level of discomfort post-treatment, with minor bleeding and facial swelling.
Day 2: Swelling and redness persist. You can gently wipe away any dried blood using normal saline. Once cleaned, a grid pattern will become visible—often referred to as the “Skin Regeneration Grid.”
Day 3: Swelling is still present, but redness has significantly subsided. Face washing is now permitted. The skin will begin to dry and flake, signaling a “Skin Resurfacing Process.”
Day 4: After washing the face, most of the tiny scabs have naturally fallen off, though a few remnants may remain. Slight facial swelling is still noticeable.
Day 5: Swelling has completely subsided, and all scabs have peeled away. Acne scars appear visibly shallower. Makeup application is now permitted.

Post-Treatment Care for the UltraClear Micro-Coring Program

Keep your face dry: Avoid getting your face wet for the first 24 hours to minimize the risk of bacterial infection from tap water.
Limit heat exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid prolonged outdoor activities to protect your skin.
Steer clear of harsh products: Avoid using products with Vitamin A, high-concentration Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid, AHA, BHA, Retinoids, or any brightening ingredients, as these can irritate your skin severely.
No makeup: Refrain from applying makeup and cosmetics during the initial recovery phase for optimal healing.
Gentle cleansing: After 2 days, you can start washing your face again, but make sure to use an ultra-gentle cleanser. Pat your face dry rather than rubbing it, and avoid facial scrubs and brushes.
Hydration is key: Keep your skin hydrated by frequently applying a generous amount of moisturizer to prevent dryness and tightness.
Don’t pick at scabs: Allow any scabs to shed naturally. Picking at them can lead to dark spots or permanent scarring. Following these steps will help ensure a smooth recovery process.
