Laser Coring by UltraClear is the most powerful tier of UltraClear laser resurfacing — a sub-surgical skin tightening treatment that delivers deep collagen remodeling at a level previously only achievable through surgery or aggressive CO₂ lasers. In just 1 to 2 treatments, patients can expect a transformative improvement in skin laxity, deep lines, and sagging in the face and neck.
The “coring” technique creates precise, deep channels in the skin that trigger the body’s most robust healing and collagen-remodeling response. The result is dramatic: significantly tighter skin, reduced deep lines, and a structural lift to areas like the neck and jawline.
For patients who want a decade’s difference in their appearance — without going under the knife — this is it.

Laser Coring is a more intensive procedure and is treated accordingly. Treatment time is typically 30-60 minutes including numbing. To manage pain, oral Tylenol and topical numbing are used to ensure patient comfort. For certain areas, injections of local anesthetic may be used. Zimmer cooler is offered to let patients cool their skin down as needed throughout the treatment.
Following treatment, patients should plan for 10-14 days of downtime. Significant redness, swelling, and peeling are expected and are signs that the skin’s deep remodeling response is underway. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided, and our team will support you through recovery. By day 10–14, the skin will be healed enough for mineral sunscreen and most social settings.
Laser Coring delivers its most dramatic results in just 1–2 treatments. Because the treatment stimulates the deepest layers of collagen, the full benefit of the remodeling process unfolds over 5–6 months.
By week 2: Initial healing complete — skin is fresh, tight, and noticeably renewed with reduction of pigment.
By month 1–2: Deep lines softer, skin firmer, jawline and neck starting to be more defined.
By month 3–6: Initial collagen and elastin remodeling complete — results are at their peak. Patients often describe looking 5–10 years younger.
Results from Laser Coring are long-lasting, with many patients maintaining their outcome for several years. This longevity depends on patient sun protection habits. A single maintenance treatment every 2–3 years can preserve results over time.
Laser Coring is designed for patients in their mid-50s to 70s who are dealing with more advanced signs of aging — sagging skin in the neck, deep lines, jowling, and a loss of structural definition that lighter treatments cannot adequately address. They are motivated, medically appropriate candidates who want a result that speaks for itself.
