LaseMD Ultra
LaseMD Ultra Treatment Los Angeles, California
Dramatically different from traditional resurfacing lasers, LaseMD Ultra is a 1927nm thulium laser that reveals glowing, healthy skin through non-ablative, fractional treatments. With an additional 8 watts of power, LaseMD Ultra is an impressive upgrade to the original LaseMD laser, and it can treat the face, body, and even scalp. With treatments that are tunable from mild to aggressive, LaseMD Ultra offers customizable outcomes with virtually no downtime for all patients, all year round.
LaseMD Ultra can rejuvenate skin tone and texture, soften fine lines, smooth enlarged pores, help banish active acne, resolve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation & post-inflammatory erythema more quickly, and treat age spots (lentigines), sunspots (solar lentigines), freckles (ephelides), actinic keratoses, dyschromia, or other benign pigmented lesions. LaseMD Ultra can also treat the scalp, stimulating hair follicles to promote hair growth. Its fractional nature minimizes downtime and damage to surrounding tissue, making this a safe and effective laser for every skin type.
LaseMD Ultra works by opening tiny microchannels in the skin, promoting skin rejuvenation and allowing deeper penetration of selected topicals. Its specific wavelength means that it works superficially on the skin, with a depth penetration of around ~200 microns. The creation of microchannels helps stimulate skin remodeling for collagen and elastin proliferation, helps banish epidermal pigmentation, and allows pairing of treatments with specially formulated topicals for synergistic results.
Before and After
FAQ’s
Why should I choose a LaseMD Ultra treatment?
A LaseMD Ultra treatment is like using very fine grit sandpaper to refine and finish a surface. The 1927nm wavelength ensures that the Ultra laser only targets the very surface of the skin, with a maximum depth penetration of around 200 microns. This, plus its fractional nature, minimizes discomfort & downtime and makes treatments very comfortable and safe for all skin types. Resurfacing the very surface of the skin helps reduce epidermal pigmentation, polish skin texture, and refine the skin for a glowier, healthier appearance.
Because it features an additional 8 watts of power from its predecessor, the LaseMD Ultra laser can be tuned to even treat actinic keratoses (AK), or solar keratoses, which are precancerous lesions caused by excessive sun exposure. While most remain benign, it is good practice to preventatively remove AKs to prevent development into skin cancer.
What is a LaseMD Ultra treatment like?
Depending on skin concern and the treatment area, topical numbing cream may be applied prior to the treatment. LaseMD Ultra has several treatment modes: rolling, stamping, and even one for treating hair.
In rolling mode, the handpiece is rolled over the skin in crosshatching strokes. The laser energy is delivered randomly in a fractional manner, keeping some skin intact and reducing hot spots to minmize downtime while delivering an effective treatment. This mode is alow great for treating large areas of skin, such as the face, neck, chest, arms, or even scalp.
In stamping mode, the handpiece is placed over desired treatment areas and laser energy is delivered in a grid-like pattern for controlled targeting of specific areas.
When treating over hair, the specially adapted handpiece allows for delivery of laser energy while combing through hair, stimulating hair follicles and allowing deeper delivery of hair-restoring topicals.
Is there any downtime?
For rejuvenation treatments, there may be a few days of slight flakiness or sandpaper-like texture to the touch as tiny bits of treated skin slough off. This generally resolves within a few days.
In stamping mode, areas of treated skin are more concentrated and the laser energy penetrates slightly deeper, so it is possible that local areas treated with stamping mode have a grid-like appearance of tiny dark marks that slough off coompletely within about a week.
Hair treatments generally have little to no downtime since the hair generally disguises underlying skin.
What skin types are suitable for treatment?
Almost everyone is a suitable candidate for a LaseMD Ultra treatment. Because of its 1927nm wavelength, the LaseMD Ultra primarily targets water in the superficial skin. This reduces risk of unwanted side effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Its fractional nature and highly adjustable settings allow it to treat all skin types.
How many treatments do I need?
For general rejuvenation purposes, LaseMD Ultra can be done once or twice a year for a great refresh. For pigmentation and other skin concerns, we generally recommend a series of at least 4-6 treatments four weeks apart, depending on skin concern and initial condition.
For individual skin concerns, free to schedule a complimentary consultation. Our expert consultants can help devise a treatment plan customized to your skin care concerns.
Is there any aftercare needed?
While treatments are very tolerable and have very minimal downtime, we generally advise pairing treatments with our recommended post-treatment skincare. Keeping skin protected with SPF and well-hydrated with soothing and repairing sheet masks, moisturizers, or healing topicals helps mitigate dryness and discomfort and speeds recovery in the days following a treatment.
Avoid sun exposure and use daily SPF before and after treatment. It is recommended to avoid exposure to hot water or steam for the first 24 hours after treatment to reduce risk of heat-induced blistering or neutralizing heat-sensitive hair growth topicals.
To reduce risk of irritation, discontinue active topicals (retinoids, chemical exfoliants, strong acne medication, some pigment-inhibiting products), exfoliants, and other potentially irritating products for a few days before and after treatment.
