LaseMD Ultra

• Reduces unwanted pigmentation:

• Helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin production
• Improves skin texture: reduces large pores and smooths rough or coarse skin

• Very little downtime compared to ablative lasers

What Makes LaseMD Ultra Different?

LaseMD Ultra (by Lutronic) uses fractional laser technology to create microchannels beneath the skin’s surface—leaving most of the skin intact. This means shorter recovery time, lower risk, and greater comfort.

Each treatment is paired with specialized Lutronic serums, formulated with active ingredients to target specific concerns such as pigment, acne and redness, or anti-aging. These serums penetrate deeply through the laser-created microchannels, enhancing and personalizing your results.

LaseMD Ultra is also versatile: it can be used on multiple areas (face, neck, chest, hands, arms) and adjusted in strength—ranging from light “glow” treatments to more intensive sessions addressing sun damage, pigmentation, and lines.

What areas can be treated?

Face, neck, décolleté (chest), hands, arms, and other areas with visible sun damage, pigmentation, or textural concerns.

Smoother texture and brighter tone can appear within 1–2 weeks. Pigmented spots may darken and flake away over several days, while collagen remodeling continues for weeks after treatment.

Does it hurt?

Most clients experience warmth, tingling, or mild discomfort. A numbing cream is available, especially for higher-intensity treatments.

Are there any side effects?

• Temporary redness or swelling
• Dryness or a sandpaper-like texture for a few days
• Darkening and flaking of pigmented spots
