Non-Ablative. Targeted. Flexible.

What LaseMD Does

LaseMD is a non-ablative laser treatment that improves skin quality and tone.

LaseMD uses a 1927 nm thulium laser to target water within the skin, creating controlled thermal stimulation without damaging the surface. This process supports collagen production and gradual skin renewal while allowing normal activity immediately after treatment.

Clinical Perspective

How LaseMD Is Used

Why We Offer It

Many patients want visible skin improvement without extended downtime. LaseMD allows controlled resurfacing and collagen stimulation while maintaining comfort, flexibility, and quick return to normal activities.

How Does It Work

LaseMD Ultra is a non-ablative laser treatment that targets water within the skin using controlled columns of heat to stimulate collagen production without damaging the surface. Treatment depth can be adjusted, allowing light resurfacing or deeper correction for fine lines, pigmentation, and mild to moderate sun damage.

Who Is It For

Most people are excellent candidates for LaseMD Ultra. It’s beneficial for all skin types and ages. LaseMD Ultra is a dramatically different laser skin treatment regardless of your skin age or type.

What to Expect from a Treatment Session

You will feel some heat and tingling as the laser is passed over the skin. The number of passes and procedure time will depend on the depth of treatment, lasting anywhere from 5-20 minutes. For mild treatments, the discomfort is very minimal. For more aggressive treatments, your physician may apply a numbing cream 30-45 minutes before the treatment to maximize your comfort.

Immediately following the treatment, you will notice some redness, which will lessen over the next day or so. The following 5-6 days, your skin will have a dry, sandpaper-like texture. This is normal and will resolve as your skin exfoliates, revealing fresher, clearer skin.

LaseMD improves overall skin tone and texture while supporting collagen production. With a series of treatments, patients often notice brighter skin, smoother texture, reduced pigmentation, and continued improvement over several months following treatment.
