There’s an immediate sense of calm refinement when stepping into Dr. David Jack’s Belgravia clinic. Unlike the typical period facades that characterise the area, this space occupies a 1960s building — yet it is anything but austere. Dr Jack, who is half Italian and half Scottish, drew inspiration from Milanese architecture, specifically Villa Necchi, the 1930s masterpiece by renowned Italian architect Piero Portaluppi. The result is an interior that feels strikingly individual: traditional furniture paired with French tapestry, oil paintings alongside more abstract works, and 1930s-style wood panelling that softens the clean modern lines of the building. It’s warm, elegant and unexpectedly soulful — a curated sanctuary that balances clinical precision with artistic flair.
A week before my appointment, I had a patch test — a brief and reassuring step designed to ensure the laser suited my skin type. It also gave me a small preview of what was to come. When I returned for the full treatment, I was greeted by my therapist, Anna, whose calm professionalism immediately put me at ease. After a short consultation, during which we discussed my skin goals — a refreshed, more even complexion and improved texture — I settled comfortably on the treatment bed.
Anna began by cleansing my skin, then fitted protective goggles on my eyes before calibrating the UltraClear device to the 3D MIRACL Setting. She explained that this setting allows the laser to target multiple depths of the skin in one session, stimulating collagen, smoothing fine lines and brightening tone, while keeping discomfort and downtime to an absolute minimum.
When the laser began, I was surprised by how gentle it felt. I’d anticipated painful pricks, but instead there was only a warm tingling. Anna worked with calm precision, tailoring the intensity around the more delicate areas of my face. The treatment took around 30 minutes in total - quick yet thorough - and I felt entirely at ease throughout.
Afterwards, my skin looked faintly flushed, as if I’d been out in the sun, and felt slightly tight. Anna applied a soothing serum and a rich barrier cream, explaining the simple aftercare: avoid heat and strenuous exercise for a day, keep the skin hydrated, and be diligent with SPF. She also gave me a bottle of Clinisept spray — an antibacterial solution to keep the skin clean and calm — and a pot of Eucerin ointment to apply at home to support healing and hydration over the following days. The combination felt comforting and practical, and my skin immediately drank in the moisture.
By the following morning, the redness had subsided considerably. There was a touch of dryness over the next couple of days, but no discomfort, and by day three, my complexion looked distinctly brighter and smoother. Friends remarked that I looked “well rested” — always a sign something’s working. Over the next week, the effects deepened subtly: pores appeared smaller, fine lines softened, and my skin felt firmer and more even in tone.
Technically speaking, the UltraClear Laser is a fractional cold ablative device. It works by creating microscopic channels of controlled thermal energy that prompt the skin’s natural healing and collagen regeneration processes. In simpler terms, it renews the skin from within — improving texture, reducing pigmentation, and restoring radiance without the trauma or extended recovery associated with older laser systems. The 3D MIRACL Setting enhances this effect by adjusting the depth and intensity of energy delivered across different facial zones, ensuring truly personalised results.
What I appreciated most was the absence of downtime. There was no need to hide away or rearrange my week — it was a true “lunchtime facial” with powerful, visible results. The combination of clinical efficacy and gentle delivery felt like the best of both worlds: intelligent skincare that works in harmony with your skin, not against it.
Two weeks later, the results are still unfolding. My skin looks clearer and more luminous, and fee remarkably soft and supple to the touch. Makeup sits beautifully, though I find myself wearing far less of it — the kind of understated glow that only healthy skin can provide.
For anyone seeking a refined, effective treatment that delivers genuine rejuvenation without discomfort or downtime, the UltraClear Laser on 3D Miracle Setting at Dr. David Jack’s Belgravia clinic is an exceptional experience. Much like the space itself — an inspired blend of Italian design warmth and modern clinical precision — it offers a rare balance of artistry and science, leaving the skin refreshed, renewed and effortlessly radiant.
