The Lutronic LaseMD is a new non-ablative, fractional laser resurfacing experience. Fractional laser resurfacing involves creating microscopic columns of heat injury in a specific pattern in the skin. The untreated skin left around each microscopic wound speeds up healing and minimizes risks such as infection and pain. A wide range of treatment settings are offered. These include a low-energy, zero downtime treatment (the LaseMD Glo!) similar to Clear and Brilliant and a high-energy setting allowing for a full resurfacing treatment comparable to Fraxel. However, unlike Fraxel, LaseMD can be used safely and effectively on ALL skin types.

LaseMD literally does it all! It can be used to treat:

• Pigmentation (age spots, sun spots, and is the ONLY laser treatment recommended by experts across the board for melasma)

• Actinic keratoses (sun-induced precancerous spots)

• Fine lines and wrinkles including vertical lip lines around the mouth and crow’s feet around the eyes

• Scars, including acne scars and surgical scars

• Uneven skin texture and tone

• Loose, sagging skin (promotes collagen production in the skin)

Non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing is simply one of the best available treatments on the market to address a remarkable range of skin imperfections with minimal downtime.

Yes! LaseMD was specifically designed to deliver high-potency serums that penetrate into the skin to produce amazing results and faster healing!! It uses advanced heat technology to create open microchannels deep within the skin surface to assist in the delivery of topicals, also known as a Cosmeceutical Delivery System (CDS). You may choose between Vitamin C for skin brightening and anti-aging, Vitamin A (retinol) for fine lines and wrinkles, Tranexamic Acid for lightening dark patches (our favorite treatment for melasma!), or Resveratrol for skin lightening and anti-aging. Preservative-free, high potency serums are custom mixed in our office at the time of your treatment. The remaining serum is given to you for use as an at-home treatment while the channels in your skin remain open to enhance results and help with healing.

The number of treatments necessary will vary depending on the type and severity of the condition being treated. Generally, we recommend starting with at least three to six treatments spaced one month apart.

Not only is LaseMD a great stand-alone treatment, but it is complementary to other skin tightening and collagen-stimulating procedures we already offer. We want you to be able to address all of your skin concerns at the same time and have therefore created special packages that combine LaseMD with Resurfx (comparable to Fraxel Dual), Eclipse Micropen Microneedling (for all skin texture concerns), and Genius Microneedling RF (for skin texture concerns plus lifting/tightening). The results from these combination treatments will keep your skin looking beautiful, young and natural for years to come!

LaseMD is a very comfortable treatment with the use of prescription strength numbing cream and skin cooling via cold air. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation on your skin during the treatment.

After a LaseMD treatment, patients generally have mild redness for up to 24 hours. Optimal results are sometimes seen within 2-5 days but complete healing can take 1-2 weeks, depending on the depth of treatment. Proper UV protection and a gentle skin care regimen are highly encouraged after your laser treatment for optimal results.

For best results, couple it with our newest and latest: Genius Microneedling RF. ShanthiMD Dermatology was one of the first offices to have the Genius laser in Los Angeles.

LaseMD non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing treatments are extremely safe in all skin types. Adverse effects are exceedingly rare and unlikely to occur in experienced hands.
