How many LaseMD Ultra treatments will I need?

Some patients notice improvement after one treatment, while a series of 3–5 sessions may be recommended for more noticeable changes and/or hyperpigmentation issues. Dr. Lipnick will personalize the number and spacing of treatments based on your skin concerns, treatment intensity, and response.

What is the downtime after LaseMD Ultra?

Downtime is usually limited, but your skin may look red and feel dry or rough for several days. Recovery varies with treatment intensity and the area treated. Dr. Lipnick will explain what to expect and when to resume makeup, exercise, and your regular skin care routine.

Does LaseMD Ultra hurt?

You may feel heat or prickling during treatment. Comfort varies with your sensitivity and the treatment settings. Topical numbing may be used when appropriate, and Dr. Lipnick will tailor comfort measures to your treatment.

Can LaseMD Ultra improve sun spots and pigmentation?

Yes. LaseMD ULTRA can improve the appearance of sun spots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation caused by sun damage. Dr. Lipnick will assess your skin to determine whether it is appropriate for the type of pigmentation you have. Results vary, and ongoing sun protection is important.

How is LaseMD Ultra different from more aggressive laser resurfacing?

LaseMD ULTRA uses fractional, non-ablative laser energy to improve skin tone and texture while leaving surrounding tissue available to support healing. It generally involves less recovery than aggressive ablative resurfacing, such as CO₂ laser treatments. The trade-off is that a series of treatments may be needed, and deeper wrinkles or scars may require a different approach.

A typical ULTRA treatment can be completed relatively quickly, often in approximately 10–20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the treatment intensity. Because the treatment is fractional and non-ablative, downtime is generally limited.Immediately afterward, the skin may appear pink or mildly red and can feel warm or dry. Over the next several days, some patients notice a slightly rough or “sandpaper-like” texture as the treated skin renews itself.As this process occurs, the complexion can gradually appear brighter, more even and smoother, with improvement in visible sun damage and pigmentation.
