Achieving smooth, radiant, and youthful skin is now more accessible thanks to the LaseMD ULTRA™ Skin Rejuvenation LaserPerformed by trusted specialists at Metropolis Dermatology in San Jose, LaseMD ULTRA™ is perfect for those seeking a safe, effective way to revitalize their skin.
What is LaseMD ULTRA™ Skin Rejuvenation Laser?
LaseMD ULTRA™ is a non-ablative laser system that uses precise energy pulses to target deeper layers of the skin. Known for its advanced Thulium fractional laser technology, this innovative treatment promotes collagen production, addresses a variety of skin concerns, and offers significant skin rejuvenation with minimal discomfort and downtime.
How It Works
It works by delivering fractional laser energy, which triggers collagen production and restructures the skin from within. This process helps to tighten the skin, smooth wrinkles, and enhance overall skin texture. By leaving healthy tissue intact around the treatment area, LaseMD ULTRA™ enables faster healing and recovery. This technology is customizable, allowing specialists to adjust treatment settings based on the patient’s unique skin type and concerns, making it a highly personalized skin rejuvenation option.
Target Concerns
LaseMD ULTRA™ is highly effective in treating a wide range of skin conditions, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles. It stimulates collagen production to smooth wrinkles and create firmer skin.
- Sun damage and pigmentation. Reduces sunspots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation caused by UV exposure.
- Acne scars. Improves the appearance of scars by remodeling the skin’s structure.
- Overall skin texture and tone. Enhances skin smoothness and evens out skin tone for a more youthful complexion.
Common Treatment Areas
LaseMD ULTRA™ is versatile and can be used to treat a variety of areas on the face and body, including:
- Face. To address fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.
- Neck and Décolletage. To improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging.
- Hands. To rejuvenate sun-damaged skin and improve skin tone.
- Body. For treatment of scars or areas with uneven pigmentation.
Thanks to its controlled energy delivery, LaseMD ULTRA™ can precisely target these issues without damaging the surrounding skin, making it a safe and efficient choice for various skin types.
What to Expect During Treatment
LaseMD ULTRA™ treatments are typically fast, taking about 20 to 30 minutes per session. Before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the skin to enhance comfort. During the treatment, the laser creates tiny micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Patients may experience a mild warming sensation, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
There is minimal downtime with LaseMD ULTRA™—most patients can resume their normal activities within 24 hours. Some redness and mild peeling may occur, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually resolves within a few days.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from LaseMD ULTRA™ treatments can be visible within a few weeks, with the skin continuing to improve as collagen production increases. The results typically last for several months, especially when patients follow recommended skincare routines and protect their skin from sun exposure.
Aftercare tips include:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Keep the skin moisturized to aid in the healing process.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or scrubbing until the skin fully heals.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates?
LaseMD ULTRA™ is ideal for individuals seeking non-invasive skin rejuvenation. Candidates include those looking to:
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Address sun damage and pigmentation.
- Improve skin tone and texture.
- Minimize acne scars.
It is suitable for various skin types and tones, but a consultation with a dermatologist is recommended to determine if this treatment is the right fit for your specific concerns.
