​

What should I expect during the treatment? Is it painful?

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.

What should I expect after the treatment?

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.

Is there any downtime?

While there will be some visible redness right after the treatment, you will be able to immediately resume your normal activities.

How many LaseMD Ultra treatments will I need?

LaseMD Ultra can be used as a stand-alone treatment, however most patients see the most significant improvement in the quality of their skin after three treatment sessions spaced apart at one month intervals. Results will continue to improve months after the treatment because of increased collagen production.
