3DMIRACL
Dr. Scott Gerrish recommends staying out of the sun for 3-4 weeks pre and post-treatment. Treating tanned skin with a laser is never recommended and can result in unexpected side effects. Your provider will recommend stopping using exfoliating products (scrubs & peels) one week before treatment to ensure your skin is not overly sensitive. Hydrate and keep your skin protected with SPF 30+ daily. You will receive a 7-day post-recovery kit that addresses hydration and repair as a part of your Gerrish MedEsthetics 3DMIRCL Treatment Plan.

During your consultation with Dr. Scott Gerrish or Gerrish MedEsthetics Expert, they will review your health history and confirm your treatment goals. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Gerrish does not believe there is a one-machine-fits-all approach. 3DMIRCL may, in fact, be the ideal solution or a combination of protocols to help you achieve your desired results.
During your private consultation with Dr. Scott Gerrish or Gerrish MedEsthetics Expert, a Treatment Plan will be outlined. Depending on your goals, your skin may need a short series of 3DMIRACL™ treatments OR a combination approach utilizing multiple UltraClear™ modes to address deeper lines, wrinkles, and scars. Nothing is “one-and-done,” but since UltraClear offers a better laser experience for patients, it is an easy skin solution to incorporate into your skincare plan.
The recommended “prejuvenation” treatment plan to slow the aging process is a package of six 3DMIRACL treatments spaced two months apart.

Most patients report discomfort scores of 1-3, with some sensitive areas maxing out at 5-6 on a scale of 1-10. Providers rarely use topical anesthetic because compared to other treatments, UltraClear is very comfortable. This saves you time and potential skin irritation from the topical anesthetics.
With no numbing cream (topical anesthetic) required, your 3DMIRACL™ Treatment with UltraClear should take an average of 10-15 minutes. It indeed can be done over a lunch break.
According to Dr. Scott Gerrish, it is usual for patients’ skin response post-treatment to vary significantly. Some patients feel nothing except a slightly warm feeling. Other patients may the sensation of sunburn. Either way, this tingly heat resolves relatively quickly, within minutes to a few hours. It is extremely common to head straight back to work or head out to dinner immediately after your 3DMIRCL treatment at Gerrish MedEsthetics.
Everyone’s definition of downtime is different.
3DMIRACL™
Because the treatment works superficial (meaning only on the uppermost layer of the skin), there is no dermal exposure – there is minimal to no downtime. Many patients report post-treatment minimal pinkness and slight puffiness (feeling like you have been in the sun) for several days. You may have some dry, flaking skin which is a good thing.
