LaseMD Ultra Resurfacing
LaseMD Ultra uses non-ablative fractional laser technology to stimulate collagen remodeling and address pigmentation irregularities, skin texture, and tone refinement with minimal downtime.
Key Benefits
Pigmentation Correction
Effectively addresses age spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone caused by UV exposure and aging.
Texture Refinement
Improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and promotes smoother, more refined skin surface.
Collagen Stimulation
Triggers natural collagen production for long-term skin quality improvement and firmness.
Minimal Downtime
Non-ablative approach means faster recovery compared to ablative lasers, with mild redness typically resolving within 24-48 hours.
Safe for All Skin Types
Customizable laser settings ensure safe and effective treatment across all skin tones without risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Visible Results Quickly
Patients notice improvements within 1-2 weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen remodels.

The Science of Fractional Laser Technology
LaseMD Ultra uses a non-ablative fractional thulium laser operating at a 1927 nm wavelength in the mid-infrared spectrum. The laser creates microscopic columns of controlled thermal injury in the epidermis and superficial dermis while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This fractional pattern stimulates cellular renewal and enhances topical absorption while allowing rapid healing and minimal downtime.
How Non-Ablative Fractional Laser Works
The fractional approach means the laser treats only a fraction of the skin surface, leaving untreated skin between treatment zones. This creates a "mosaic" pattern of micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing response without removing the outer skin layer. The treated areas activate collagen remodeling while surrounding untreated skin accelerates the healing process, resulting in faster recovery compared to ablative alternatives.
Collagen Stimulation and Remodeling Mechanisms
When the laser energy reaches the dermis, it generates controlled heat that triggers immediate collagen contraction and activates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. This stimulates the release of growth factors and initiates the wound-healing cascade. Over the following weeks and months, new collagen I and III are synthesized and organized, creating improved skin texture, firmness, and tone. The progressive remodeling continues for 3-6 months after treatment, with results continuing to improve long after the visible redness resolves.
Wavelength Penetration and Skin Safety
The 1927nm wavelength is absorbed primarily by water in the dermis, making it highly effective for collagen stimulation while minimizing absorption in melanin. This selective absorption profile makes LaseMD Ultra safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin, with minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The non-ablative approach further reduces risk by preserving the protective barrier function of the epidermis, allowing the skin to heal rapidly and safely.
Customizable Treatment Parameters
LaseMD Ultra's technology allows for precise customization of laser settings, including power, pulse duration, and treatment density. This flexibility enables your provider to tailor treatment intensity based on your specific skin concerns, skin type, and tolerance, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort and downtime. Whether addressing pigmentation irregularities, texture concerns, or fine lines, the treatment can be precisely calibrated for your individual needs.
"I was skeptical at first, but after the third session I could actually see my skin tone evening out. The brown spots on my cheeks are so much lighter now."
Jennifer, 38
"I travel a lot for work and couldn't take time off. Being able to do this on a Friday and be back to normal by Monday was huge. My skin looks fresher now."
Marcus, 45
"I've had a lot of sun damage over the years and wasn't sure anything would really help. I'm three months out from my last session and my skin just keeps looking better. People keep asking if I'm doing something different."

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients see optimal results after 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a customized treatment plan based on your specific concerns and skin type.
Is there downtime?
LaseMD Ultra is non-ablative, so downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness and slight swelling for 24-48 hours. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements are visible within 1-2 weeks as collagen remodeling begins. Optimal results develop over 2-3 months as collagen continues to improve.
See the visible transformation LaseMD Ultra delivers in pigmentation correction, wrinkle reduction, and skin texture refinement. Results vary. A series can vary from 3-6 treatments depending on situation, goal, and skin tone.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes. LaseMD Ultra can be safely used on all skin types. Your provider customizes laser settings based on your skin tone to ensure safety and effectiveness.
What should I expect during treatment?
The treatment feels like a warm sensation with gentle snapping or tapping. Sessions are typically less than 20-30 minutes. After treatment, we apply a hydrating mask and red light therapy to support healing. You may feel slight discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
Wait 24-48 hours before wearing makeup. If your skin is red or feels warm, avoid makeup until these symptoms resolve. We have FactorFive and Noon Aesthetics Post Treatment kits available to support healing.
How do I care for my skin after treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and use gentle cleansers. Avoid harsh products, retinoids, and vitamin C for 48 hours post-treatment.

Can I combine LaseMD Ultra with other treatments?
Yes. LaseMD Ultra pairs well with AdvaTx infrared laser, microneedling, and RF microneedling. Your provider will recommend a customized protocol based on your goals.
How long do results last?
Results continue to improve for 3-6 months after your final session. With proper sun protection and skincare, results can last 1-2 years before maintenance sessions may be beneficial.
Is there a best time of year for treatment?
Whenever you can avoid sun exposure is the best time. With strict sun protection and SPF 30 or higher, treatment can be done year-round.
