What is LaseMD Ultra?
LaseMD Ultra is an advanced fractional laser system that creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) across the skin’s surface. Unlike ablative lasers that remove layers of skin, LaseMD Ultra is a non-ablative laser, meaning it penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen production without significant damage or long recovery. This sets it apart, providing excellent results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
The laser energy promotes skin regeneration by triggering your natural healing response and encouraging new collagen and elastin fibers to form over time. Additionally, the treatment enhances the skin’s ability to absorb customized topical serums applied immediately after the procedure, thus amplifying rejuvenation.
How Does LaseMD Ultra Work?
The LaseMD Ultra laser safely creates ultra-thin micro-channels in the epidermis. These micro-channels activate the skin’s repair mechanisms without fully damaging the surface layer, allowing rapid healing and minimal irritation.
By stimulating collagen and elastin production, the skin’s texture improves, fine lines diminish, and sunspots or pigmentation irregularities gradually lighten. The treatment can be customized per patient from light resurfacing—a quick “lunchtime” refresh—to more intensive sessions targeting deeper skin concerns.
Combined with specially formulated serums applied post-treatment, LaseMD Ultra offers multi-dimensional skin rejuvenation, correcting sun damage, rosacea, melasma, and improving overall skin firmness.
Who Should Consider LaseMD Ultra?
LaseMD Ultra is ideal for a wide range of skin types and concerns, especially if you want:
- Visible improvement in pigmentation, age spots, or sun damage
- Smoother skin texture with reduced rough patches or uneven tone
- Firmer, plumper skin through natural collagen stimulation
- Minimal downtime with flexibility to adjust treatment intensity
- A facial resurfacing treatment appropriate for sensitive skin
- Solutions for rosacea, melasma, or other discoloration issues
This laser system is safe for all skin types, making it a popular choice for patients seeking effective skin clarity and texture refinement without invasive procedures.
Benefits of LaseMD Ultra Treatment
LaseMD Ultra offers a host of benefits to restore and rejuvenate your skin:
- Effectively lightens pigmentation, freckles, and age spots
- Stimulates collagen and elastin for improved firmness and elasticity
- Treats mild to moderate sun damage and photodamage
- Evens out skin tone for a smoother, more uniform complexion
- Offers customizable treatment levels from mild to more aggressive resurfacing

The LaseMD Ultra Procedur
Your LaseMD Ultra experience at Granite Bay Dermatology is designed to be comfortable, quick, and safe. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive skin evaluation to customize your treatment plan.
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
- Treatment: Using the LaseMD Ultra laser, your provider delivers controlled laser pulses, creating precise micro-channels across the target skin areas.
- Serum Application: Immediately following the laser, a customized skincare serum is applied to penetrate deeply into the skin, maximizing results.
- Duration: Most sessions last approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
LaseMD Ultra is most commonly performed on the face but also treats the neck, chest, and hands to address sun damage and signs of aging.
Aftercare and Recovery
LaseMD Ultra’s non-ablative nature means recovery is faster and easier than many other laser treatments. After your session, you may experience:
- Redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn, typically lasting about 1 to 3 days
- Slight roughness or peeling as the skin naturally exfoliates, often minimal
- Temporary sensitivity or warmth that resolves quickly
To protect your fresh skin, it’s essential to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Most patients can resume normal activities almost immediately, with makeup usually allowed after 24 hours to cover any redness.
Results and Timeline to Expect
Results from LaseMD Ultra are both immediate and progressive:
- You may notice smoother skin texture and initial brightening within the first week.
- Pigmentation and discoloration will gradually lighten as layers of damaged skin regenerate.
- Collagen development over several weeks improves firmness and elasticity, producing a more youthful contour.
- Typically, a series of 3 to 4 treatments scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Many patients report feeling more confident in their skin’s clarity and smoothness after just one session, with dramatic improvements after completing their treatment series.
LaseMD Ultra vs. Other Laser Treatments
Compared with aggressive ablative lasers like CO2 or traditional Fraxel, LaseMD Ultra offers:
- Less discomfort during and after treatment
- Reduced risk of scarring or pigmentation changes, making it safe for all skin types
- Minimal downtime, typically 1 to 3 days versus weeks for ablative lasers
- Flexibility to tailor treatment intensity to patient needs
This makes LaseMD Ultra an excellent choice for those seeking meaningful skin rejuvenation without sacrificing time or comfort.
