LaseMD Ultra

LaseMD Ultra is a non‑ablative fractional 1927 nm thulium laser that delivers columns of controlled thermal energy into the upper dermis to stimulate collagen, accelerate cell turnover and even pigmentation, while leaving the surface layer of skin intact for minimal downtime. By creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones and temporary micro‑channels, it not only smooths texture and softens fine lines, but also enhances penetration of medical‑grade serums, making it a versatile option for sun damage, melasma, acne scarring and general skin rejuvenation on the face, neck and chest.

  • LaseMD Ultra uses a 1927 nm thulium wavelength that is strongly absorbed by water in the skin, allowing precise heating of the epidermis and superficial dermis without vaporising (ablating) the surface. The laser beam is fractionated into thousands of microthermal columns, creating microscopic zones of controlled injury surrounded by healthy tissue, which speeds up healing while triggering a wound‑repair response with new collagen and elastin formation. Immediately after treatment, the skin contains temporary micro‑channels that significantly increase the absorption of active ingredients such as brightening, hydrating or anti‑inflammatory serums, enhancing treatment outcomes.

  • LaseMD Ultra is particularly useful for:

    • Epidermal pigmentation such as sun spots, lentigines and uneven tone.

    • Melasma and post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation, where gentle, repeatable treatments are needed.

    • Fine lines, early photoageing and “crepey” texture.

    • Mild acne scarring, enlarged pores and overall dullness.

    Treatment is most commonly performed on the face, neck and décolletage, but protocols can be adapted for other sun‑exposed or scarred areas where superficial remodelling and pigment control are desired.

  • Energy levels and density can be adjusted to give “light refresh” treatments with very little downtime or more intensive sessions for pronounced sun damage and texture issues. Most patients undergo a course of 3–4 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart, to build cumulative collagen and pigment clearance, with maintenance treatments every 6–12 months depending on skin type, severity of concerns and UV exposure.

  • During treatment, patients typically feel a warm, prickling or “pins and needles” sensation; topical anaesthetic may be used depending on the chosen settings and individual sensitivity. Afterwards, the skin usually appears pink to red and can feel sunburnt for several hours, followed by mild dryness and flaking over a few days as the epidermis renews; most people return to normal activities within 24 hours with appropriate sun protection. As a non‑ablative technology that targets water rather than pigment or blood, LaseMD Ultra can be safely used across a wide range of skin tones when parameters are adjusted correctly, though strict sun avoidance and SPF use are essential to reduce the risk of post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
