Summer has a way of showing up on your skin long after the pool days and vacations are over.
By the end of the season, you may be noticing brown spots that look a little darker, new areas of uneven pigmentation, rougher texture or skin that simply doesn’t look as bright and fresh as it did before months of Arizona sun.
This is where LaseMD Ultra comes in.
What exactly does LaseMD Ultra do?
Think of LaseMD Ultra as a resurfacing treatment that helps your skin hit the reset button.
Using a 1927 nm thulium laser, LaseMD Ultra creates tiny treatment channels in the skin, triggering a renewal process while targeting many of the concerns we see after a long summer.
It can help improve the appearance of:
- Sun spots and visible pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough texture
- Fine lines
- Dullness
- Overall signs of sun damage
The goal? Brighter, smoother, more even-looking skin.
Why do we love this after Summer?
Summer is often when the damage happens, so Fall is the perfect time to start correcting it.
Months of UV exposure can bring existing pigmentation to the surface and make discoloration more noticeable. Once those long days of intense sun exposure begin to wind down, we can get a much clearer picture of what your skin needs.
It’s also an ideal time to start resurfacing treatments because protecting your skin from the sun is especially important following a laser treatment.
What makes this treatment different?
Not every patient needs an aggressive laser treatment with significant downtime.
One of the things we love about LaseMD Ultra is that the treatment can be customized. Your provider can adjust the intensity based on your skin, your concerns and how much downtime makes sense for you.
For some patients, that means a lighter refresh.
For others, it may mean a series of treatments designed to address more noticeable pigmentation, texture and accumulated sun damage.
There isn’t one “LaseMD treatment” that fits everyone, and that’s why we love this treatment so much.
What should I expect afterward?
Your skin may look pink and feel warm immediately following treatment. In the days afterward, it can feel dry or slightly rough as the renewal process takes place.
Then comes the part we love: as that roughness resolves, skin can begin to look smoother, brighter and more refreshed.
Your exact recovery will depend on the intensity of your treatment, and sun protection afterward is a must!
Do I need more than one?
You might!! This is why a consultation matters! If your goal is simply to refresh dull, end-of-summer skin, your treatment plan may look very different from someone trying to correct years of accumulated sun damage and pigmentation.
Pigmentation, redness, melasma, sun damage and uneven texture can overlap, but they don’t necessarily respond to the same treatment.
That’s why at DermaPrecision®, laser season starts with a skin assessment and a plan.
LaseMD Ultra is one of our favorite tools for addressing the visible aftermath of summer and helping restore brighter, smoother, more even-looking skin.
Until next time,
