What is Lase MD?

LaseMD is a revolutionary non-invasive laser treatment designed to revitalize and refresh your skin from the inside out. It effectively targets issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun damage, pigmentation, and melasma by delivering gentle yet effective laser energy deep into the skin.

LaseMD helps to reverse the effects of sun damage, reducing dark spots and discoloration to promote a more uniform complexion. By stimulating collagen production, LaseMD helps renew and restore the skin, resulting in a smoother, brighter, and more youthful appearance.

HOW DOES LASEMD WORK?

LaseMD works by using a fractional thulium laser (1927 nm) that creates tiny microchannels in the skin, encouraging your body’s natural healing process. This specialized laser precisely targets melanocytes while bypassing unstable myocytes, making it exceptionally effective for treating melasma and suitable for all skin types.

This process stimulates collagen production and accelerates the turnover of skin cells, improving skin texture, reducing hyperpigmentation, pore size, and signs of aging. LaseMD also enhances the absorption of serums and other skincare treatments, making your post-laser skincare routine even more effective.

To enhance patient comfort during treatment, Dr. Armstrong utilizes a Zimmer chiller to alleviate any heat discomfort. Most patients report a pain level of only 1-2 on the scale after numbing.

 

  1. Targeting Pigmentation: The laser energy specifically targets areas of hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure, such as dark spots or uneven skin tone. The heat from the laser breaks down the excess melanin in these areas, which is then absorbed and eliminated by the body’s natural processes.
  2. Promoting Cellular Renewal: By creating microchannels in the skin, LaseMD stimulates the skin’s natural healing response. This accelerates the turnover of skin cells, allowing for the shedding of damaged, sun-affected layers of skin and the emergence of healthier, more youthful skin.
  3. Stimulating Collagen Production: Sun damage can lead to the breakdown of collagen, contributing to fine lines and wrinkles. LaseMD stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin elasticity, firmness, and overall texture, effectively reversing some of the signs of aging related to sun exposure.
  4. Improving Skin Texture: In addition to reducing pigmentation and fine lines, LaseMD also improves overall skin texture, making it smoother and more consistent in appearance. This enhances the skin’s ability to reflect light, contributing to a brighter and more youthful look.
  5. Reducing Pore Size: The microchannels created during the treatment also assist in tightening the skin, which can lead to a noticeable reduction in pore size. This helps create a smoother surface and an overall refined appearance.

AREAS TREATED WITH LASEMD

LaseMD is a versatile treatment that can be used on various areas of the body to effectively address multiple skin concerns. Some of the most common treatment areas include:

  • Face: Targeting fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin tone for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
  • Neck: Improving skin texture and tone, reducing signs of sun damage, and enhancing the overall look of the neck area.
  • Décolleté (Chest Area): Treating sun damage, age spots, and wrinkles for a more even skin tone and youthful appearance.
  • Hands: Addressing signs of aging, such as dark spots and thinning skin, to rejuvenate the hands.
  • Arms: Helping to reduce pigmentation and improve skin texture on the arms, often affected by sun exposure.
  • Legs: Treating sun damage and uneven skin tone on the legs for a smoother appearance.

What Can I Expect During my LaseMD Treatment?

Before your LaseMD session, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any dirt, makeup, or oils. A topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure. During the treatment, Dr. Armstrong or one of our highly skilled practitioners will gently pass the laser handpiece over your skin, creating a warm sensation.

The session typically lasts 15-30 minutes after numbing, depending on the treatment area. Most patients find the experience tolerable, and any discomfort is minimal.

What Can I Expect After my LaseMD Treatment?

After your LaseMD session, you may experience mild redness and a sensation similar to a light sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. It’s normal for your skin to feel slightly warm, and there may be minor swelling immediately following the procedure. You might also notice some flaking as the treated cells are shed, which is part of the natural healing process.

Following the treatment, it’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your newly rejuvenated skin. You will be provided with aftercare instructions to help manage your skin during the healing process and optimize your results.

Results will gradually improve over several days, and with each session, you’ll notice more pronounced improvements in texture, tone, and overall radiance. By following the post-treatment guidelines and incorporating our Glass Skin Protocol, you can maximize your results and achieve that radiant “glass skin” look you desire.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASEMD?

LaseMD laser skin resurfacing is an effective treatment for a wide range of skin concerns. It addresses fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and various signs of sun damage, such as age spots, actinic keratosis, excess pigmentation (including dark spots and melasma), uneven skin tone, and benign pigmented lesions.

Good candidates for LaseMD typically include individuals who are looking to improve their skin’s appearance and have realistic expectations for outcomes. Those with different skin types can benefit; however, individuals with severe acne might be better served with our alternative laser and skin treatments specifically designed for active acne. 

To maintain the results of your LaseMD treatment and achieve that desired “glass skin” look, we recommend following our Glass Skin Protocol. This comprehensive skincare routine is designed to enhance hydration, luminosity, and texture.
