What is LaseMD Ultra?

LaseMD Ultra, made by Lutronic, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that utilizes fractional laser technology to target skin concerns such as pigmentation, sun damage, uneven texture, and fine lines. Unlike traditional microneedling treatments that rely on needles, LaseMD Ultra employs a laser-based system to deliver controlled, precise energy to the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production and improving skin tone and texture without the need for invasive procedures.

LaseMD Ultra is most often used on the face, neck and chest, and it can also treat other areas of the body, such as the hands. Because it suits all skin types, treatments can be scheduled at any time of year.

The treatment is designed to be quick, comfortable, and effective, providing visible results with minimal downtime. This non-ablative, fractional laser treatment is ideal for addressing a wide variety of skin issues across all skin types, offering an excellent option for those in need of a gentle yet powerful solution for a smoother appearance.

What Are the Benefits of LaseMD Ultra?

One of LaseMD Ultra’s key advantages is its ability to stimulate collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and firmness. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, clearer appearance. The treatment can help with skin tightening, making it ideal for those who want to combat mild sagging or loss of elasticity. Additionally, LaseMD Ultra targets uneven skin tone and texture, enhancing radiance and promoting a healthier complexion, all with minimal downtime.

LaseMD Ultra is suitable for all skin types, making it accessible to anyone concerned about signs of aging.

Who Are the Best Candidates for LaseMD Ultra?

The treatment is suitable for those who are experiencing early signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, or skin laxity, as well as those with uneven skin texture or tone. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals with mild to moderate skin concerns who want a non-surgical solution for skin rejuvenation. Patients with good skin elasticity and overall healthy skin (with no open wounds or infections) are typically the best candidates. Those with more severe skin issues may need to consider additional treatments or procedures. During your consultation at Prosilience Studio in Arlington, near Boston, our specialists will evaluate your skin and determine if LaseMD Ultra is best for you.

What’s the First Step?

If you’re interested in LaseMD Ultra treatment, schedule a consultation at Prosilience Studio! In your initial visit, our provider, Dr. Crawford will evaluate your skin and determine if LaseMD Ultra is the right treatment for you. We will thoroughly examine your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure and don’t have any underlying conditions that could pose complications. Our team will explain the treatment in detail, answer any questions, and review the expected results. This is the perfect opportunity to address any concerns and ensure you’re fully informed before your session.

What to Expect on the Day of a LaseMD Ultra Treatment

The procedure begins with a conversation, during which our expert team will go over your treatment once more before beginning. Once you’re ready, the treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied, depending on the area and your comfort. The laser’s precision allows for a gentle, controlled treatment that targets specific skin concerns such as pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven texture. You may feel a mild warmth or tingling during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated and non-invasive.

The treatment itself typically takes about 10 to 20 minutes, or longer for larger areas. Afterwards your skin will look red, and the redness eases over the next day or so.

LaseMD Ultra Recovery

Recovery from LaseMD Ultra is short, but you will see it. Redness, and sometimes mild swelling or tenderness like a mild sunburn, eases over the first day or so. For the following five to six days your skin will feel dry and rough, like fine sandpaper. That is normal: it is the treated skin flaking away as it exfoliates, revealing fresher, clearer skin underneath. Most people return to their usual activities right away. It is important to avoid direct sun exposure for the first few days after treatment and to use sunscreen to protect your skin. While results may be visible soon after treatment, the best outcomes usually appear after a series of sessions.

How Much Does LaseMD Ultra Cost in Boston, MA?

The cost of LaseMD Ultra can vary depending on factors such as the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and your provider’s experience and skill set. During your consultation, we will discuss your goals and the number of treatments necessary and provide a detailed price estimate to ensure you understand the investment involved. At Prosilience Studio, we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and we’re here to help you achieve your best skin in the most cost-effective way possible, with financing options available.

LaseMD Ultra questions

Is LaseMD Ultra Painful?

Most patients find that LaseMD Ultra treatments are relatively comfortable. The procedure is minimally invasive and generally causes only mild discomfort, similar to the feeling of a mild pinch or light heat on the skin. A topical numbing cream can be applied depending on your tolerance and the areas being treated. You may feel a slight warming sensation during the treatment, but it typically resolves quickly after the session. Afterward, there is minimal downtime, and any discomfort should subside shortly.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of LaseMD Ultra treatments you will need depends on the severity of your concerns and the condition of your skin. Most patients see noticeable results after just one session, but a series of treatments is often recommended for clearer results. Patients undergo 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. However, during your consultation, we’ll discuss your desired results and recommend the right treatment schedule for you.

How long until I see results?

While you may notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and tone following your LaseMD Ultra treatment, the full extent of your results will develop gradually over the next few weeks. The treatment stimulates collagen production, so as your body continues to heal and renew itself, you’ll notice smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Most patients experience peak results after 1 to 3 months, with improvements continuing to appear over time.

Can I Combine LaseMD Ultra with Other Procedures?

You can combine LaseMD Ultra with additional treatments, the most common of which include BOTOX, dermal fillers, or RF microneedling to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Combining treatments allows for a more comprehensive and dramatic approach to rejuvenation, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and overall skin tone. However, it’s important to discuss your treatment plan with your provider to ensure that the procedures complement each other and are safe for your skin type.

What Are the Risks Associated with LaseMD Ultra?

LaseMD Ultra is a non-invasive treatment with a low risk of complications, but there are a few potential side effects. These can include redness, swelling, or slight tenderness in the treated areas, which generally ease within a day or so. A dry, rough texture for five to six days afterwards is expected as the skin exfoliates. In rare cases, some patients may experience bruising. It’s essential to follow post-treatment instructions to minimize any risk of irritation. The risks associated with LaseMD Ultra are minimal when performed by an experienced practitioner, and our team at Prosilience Studio will guide you through the process to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
