Lutronic LaseMD Ultra is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser that creates microscopic treatment channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production while improving pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, uneven texture, and overall skin tone. It also enhances the absorption of specialized serums applied immediately after treatment for even greater results.

Immediately After Treatment (Day 0):

• Skin will appear pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn.
• You may experience warmth and mild swelling for several hours.

Days 1–3:

• Redness begins to subside.
• Skin may feel dry or rough.
• Tiny “coffee ground” specks (micro-crusting) may appear as pigmented cells rise to the surface.

Days 3–7:

• Pigmented spots naturally flake away.
• Skin becomes brighter, smoother, and more even in tone.

Weeks 4–8:

• Collagen production continues beneath the skin.
• Fine lines soften, texture improves, and overall skin quality continues to improve with each treatment.

While many patients notice a healthy glow after one treatment, optimal improvement is achieved through a series of treatments.

• Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, sunscreen, or lotions.
• Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), and other active skincare ingredients for 3–5 days before treatment.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanner for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
• Stay well hydrated.
• Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores, especially if treating around the mouth, as preventative antiviral medication may be recommended.
• Avoid chemical peels, waxing, or other laser treatments on the treatment area for approximately 2 weeks beforehand.

For the first 24–48 hours:

• Keep skin clean and well hydrated.
• Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours or until your provider advises.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas, hot tubs, and swimming.

For the first 5–7 days:

• Do not pick or scrub any flaking skin or micro-crusting.
• Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, vitamin C serums, and harsh skincare until your skin has healed.
• Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher daily and avoid direct sun exposure.

Long-Term Maintenance:

• Use medical-grade skincare and daily sunscreen to protect your results.
• Schedule maintenance treatments every 6–12 months to maintain collagen production and keep skin bright, smooth, and healthy.
• Consistent sun protection and a personalized skincare regimen will maximize and prolong your results.
