How LaseMD® Ultra Works

LaseMD Ultra uses a non-ablative, fractionated 1927 nm thulium laser to deliver controlled energy into the upper layers of the skin. 

• Fractional microchannels: This laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones, leaving surrounding skin intact to speed healing and reduce downtime. 

• Pigment + texture targeting: Energy is absorbed by water and pigment in the skin, helping break up discoloration while prompting cell turnover for smoother texture. 

• Collagen stimulation: Each pulse triggers the skin’s natural repair response, gradually improving firmness, fine lines, and overall clarity over time. 

Because the surface of the skin remains intact, most patients experience only a few days of mild redness and a sandpapery feel—rather than extensive peeling—while still enjoying meaningful improvement. 

LaseMD Ultra is particularly effective for: 

• Uneven tone and sun damage (freckles, age spots, mottled pigment)

• Early fine lines and photoaging

• Melasma and pigment-prone skin (in carefully selected, dermatologist-managed protocols)

• Enlarged pores and rough texture

• Acne and certain acne scars

• Crepey skin on the face, neck, and chest

What to Expect During Treatment

A typical LaseMD Ultra session takes about 20–30 minutes for the face; add-on areas such as neck, chest, or hands can be easily included. 

1.     Preparation

• Your skin is cleansed thoroughly.

• A topical numbing cream may be applied to maximize comfort.

2.     During Treatment

• You’ll feel a warm, prickling sensation as the laser glides across the skin.

• Most patients tolerate the procedure well; intensity is adjusted based on your goals and downtime tolerance. 

3.      Immediately After

• Skin typically looks pink to red and may feel warm—similar to a mild sunburn.

• Over the next several days, the skin often feels slightly rough or “gritty” as microscopic debris comes to the surface and sheds. 

4.     Recovery & Downtime

• Most patients resume work and daily activities the same or next day, using a gentle skincare routine and strict sun protection.

• Makeup can usually be worn within 24 hours, depending on treatment intensity and Dr. Moss’s guidance.

For best results, Dr. Moss often recommends a series of 3–4 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions once or twice a year, customized to your skin and lifestyle. 

Why Patients Choose LaseMD® Ultra at Aria Dermatology

Dermatologist-Led Precision
All laser treatments at Aria are performed or directly overseen by Dr. Victoria Moss, board-certified dermatologist and nationally recognized aesthetics expert, ensuring careful parameter selection for your skin type, including more pigment-sensitive or melasma-prone complexions. 

Customizable Power & Versatility
Unlike some “one-setting” gentle lasers, LaseMD Ultra technology is highly adjustable—allowing Dr. Moss and her team to tailor treatments from subtle “pre-juvenation” to more corrective resurfacing for fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and stubborn pigment. 

Melasma- and Pigment-Conscious Care
The 1927 nm wavelength can be used as part of a comprehensive melasma and pigment management plan, with careful settings and layering alongside topicals and rigorous sun protection to reduce the risk of flares. 

Minimal Downtime, Noticeable Results
Most patients experience only a few days of mild redness and texture changes—yet enjoy visible improvement in clarity, brightness, and smoothness over the following weeks. 

Integrative, Layered Rejuvenation
At Aria, LaseMD Ultra can be combined with other treatments—such as Forever Young BBL®, DiamondGlow®, MRPen® microneedling, neuromodulators, or filler—to address pigment, texture, lines, and volume in a customized, staged plan tailored to your goals. 

Results You Can Expect

Most patients notice: 

• Brighter, more even skin tone

• Smoother texture and reduced roughness

• Softening of fine lines and early wrinkles

• Smaller-appearing pores

• Improved clarity in sun spots, freckles, and other benign pigment

• A healthier overall “glow”

Improvements continue to evolve over several months as collagen remodeling progresses beneath the surface. With a consistent skincare regimen and daily broad-spectrum sun protection, results can be long-lasting and enhanced over time with periodic maintenance treatments.
