LaseMD Ultra in Peoria

This non-ablative fractional laser uses energy to create tiny microchannels just below the skin surface. By inflicting controlled damage on skin, these microchannels kick-start the body’s natural wound healing response and, in the process, boost production of collagen and elastin at the cellular level. For even better results, the microchannels created by the laser can also act like a delivery system straight to the deeper layers of skin. As a result, any serums layered on immediately after treatment, such as those that contain antioxidants, peptides, or growth factors can better penetrate, thereby maximizing their efficacy.

You’re a good candidate if you want to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and other signs of skin damage. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is. The Ultra can treat all skin types and tones.

This device is also great for men because it is comfortable, has minimal downtime, and can treat all the sun damage they have accumulated while living here in Arizona.

Patients typically find Lutronic LaseMD ULTRA comfortable with no anesthesia necessary, which helps make the treatment quick so you can receive your treatment on your lunch break or after work without it dramatically impacting your daily schedule.

First, your skin will be cleansed, then we will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. Once you’re fully numb, (about 20 minutes), you’ll put on eye protection. 

Then the LaseMD handpiece will be “rolled” across the treatment area. Its laser energy will penetrate the dermal layers via microchannels. You’ll feel tingling, and possibly some mild discomfort, depending on the intensity level of your treatment

This takes about 20 minutes.

• After your treatment, we may apply topical serums with antioxidants and other potent ingredients, which will penetrate into the lower layers of your skin via the microchannels. We may also apply a moisturizer, since the heat from the laser tends to dry out skin.
• Total time in the office for a face and neck is about 1-1.25 hours, and the treatment is quick and comfortable

The downtime associated with LaseMD ULTRA depends on what type of treatment you have performed. For those with melasma and those desiring a light treatment for a slight glow, the downtime is very minimal. For those targeting sun damage, lines, and wrinkles, downtime is usually a few hours of pinkness and mild swelling, followed by sandpaper like skin and small brown dots “coffee grounds” for no more than 7 days post treatment. 

Because the laser beams bypass the surface of the skin and leave it intact, there is very minimal risk of infection and irritation the next day after treatment. You can resume your makeup and most of your skincare routine the following day. There is no bleeding, blistering, or scabbing. There can be a sunburn-like sensation for up to an hour following treatment; otherwise, LaseMD ULTRA is a comfortable and well-tolerated treatment. Because the surface layer is left intact, there’s minimal downtime after a LaseMD treatment. There’s also no risk of bleeding, blistering, burning, or scabbing.

While you’ll be able to go about your normal activities, you may want to take a few days to a week of social downtime, depending on the intensity level of your LaseMD treatment plan.

• LaseMD Glow: You can expect a few hours of redness, similar to that of a mild sunburn.
• LaseMD Refine: Redness can last up to three days.
• Light flaking is possible.
• LaseMD ULTRA: You’ll have five days to a week of redness, likely with some flaking. Resist the urge to pick off the flakes.  

There’s not much to do by way of aftercare, other than keeping your skin moisturized and protected from the sun. 

You’ll see the most improvement from your treatment for six months, as new collagen and elastin develops, and your results should last about a year. After that, the benefits will start to taper off. 

You can prolong the effects of your treatment by using good skin care, including daily SPF of 30 or more.
