Why Do The Beauté Aesthetics Specialists Use LaseMD Ultra?
The experts at Beauté Aesthetics love the LaseMD Ultra technology because it is one of the most advanced and versatile lasers available today and delivers amazing results while providing the utmost in comfort, the highest safety protocol, and minimal recovery time.
Some of the reasons we offer LaseMD Ultra include:
- It is newer and offers more advanced technology
- LaseMD Ultra is the newer upgraded version of the original LaseMD system and is more powerful, covers more area, and can be fine-tuned precisely to safely treat each individual’s skin to deliver the results they want. It works faster, gentler, and provides more noticeable results using fewer sessions than many other laser treatments.
- It is very powerful but safe
- Unlike some lasers that utilize older technology and come with harsh side effects or require weeks to recover from, LaseMD Ultra uses non-ablative fractional technology, which heats the skin below the surface without completely damaging or removing the top layer. This reduces risks and shortens recovery time.
- It is an excellent solution for correcting pigmentation issues
- LaseMD Ultra can safely and effectively treat sunspots, melasma, and other types of discoloration. Unlike some lasers that may worsen pigmentation by overheating the skin, LaseMD Ultra breaks up areas of hyperpigmentation without triggering inflammation or rebound pigmentation issues.
- It is very versatile
- LaseMD Ultra can be customized to treat many different skin concerns for both younger and older clients, including:
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage and age spots
- Fine lines
- Uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Mild acne scarring
- Dull or rough skin
- It is safe for most skin types
- Many lasers are risky for people with darker skin tones because they remove surface layers or expose the skin to too much heat. LaseMD Ultra is safer for a wide range of skin tones, offering individuals with darker or more sensitive skin the opportunity to safely enhance and refresh their appearance.
- It is fast and easy
- Beauté Aesthetics clients want safe treatments that deliver results while fitting into their busy schedules. LaseMD Ultra provides visible results with just a few days of recovery, allowing clients to wear makeup and return to work or social events quickly.
How Is LaseMD Ultra Different From LaseMD?
LaseMD Ultra is a newer, stronger, and updated version of the original LaseMD and is more powerful and can treat a larger area of skin at the same time. This means it can provide more noticeable results in fewer sessions, but without an extended recovery.
How Does LaseMD Ultra Compare With Other Laser Treatments
LaseMD Ultra vs. Fraxel
Fraxel is a laser that, similar to LaserMD Ultra, also uses fractional technology but uses more aggressive wavelengths and goes deeper than LaseMD Ultra. Fraxel tends to cause more thermal damage to the lower layers of the skin, which is great for building new collagen, but it also triggers more inflammation, swelling, and redness. It is better for correcting issues like deeper acne scars and deep wrinkles, but because it is stronger, the treated areas take longer to heal. Many people see redness and peeling for about a week.
LaseMD Ultra is gentler and works well for all skin tones and for correcting issues like fine lines, melasma, and pigmentation issues. It can precisely target and gently treat different areas safely where using too much heat would make things worse.
LaseMD Ultra vs. Moxi
Moxi is another gentle, non-ablative laser that is often called a “prejuvenation” treatment because it is perfect for younger skin or anyone who wants to maintain a healthy glow with minimal recovery time. Moxi and LaseMD Ultra are very similar in the way they work, but LaseMD Ultra has more power, so it delivers more noticeable results in fewer sessions.
LaseMD Ultra is a good choice if you want to treat pigment, texture, and fine lines more aggressively, and Moxi if your main goal is light maintenance or early prevention.
LaseMD Ultra vs. Clear + Brilliant
Clear + Brilliant is sometimes called a “starter laser” or a “baby Fraxel” because it is designed for people who would like to refresh their appearance without having any downtime. The results are subtle, and you may need a series of treatments to get the results you want, but the recovery is extremely short and often only consists of one day of mild redness.
LaseMD Ultra is more advanced and treats deeper layers of the skin and can help with bigger concerns like melasma and advanced sun damage.
LaseMD Ultra may work best for you if you have visible discoloration or uneven texture you wish to improve. Clear + Brilliant would work if you desire a healthy glow with little to no recovery time.
LaseMD vs. CO₂ Laser
CO₂ lasers are the strongest option on this list and remove the top layer and heat the deeper layers of the skin to trigger major repairs through increased collagen production. Because they are so strong, they are normally used to treat more serious issues like deep wrinkles, pitted or deeper acne, or surgical scars. The CO₂ laser can deliver dramatic results, but it also comes with a longer recovery, which is usually about two weeks, and your skin will go through redness, and peeling, and require careful wound care.
LaseMD Ultra is much gentler and does not remove the top layer of skin, so it is safer for more skin types and has a much quicker recovery.
The CO₂ laser is a good choice if you have severe aging or scarring that you would like to correct and are prepared to handle an extended recovery. LaseMD Ultra would be a good choice if you have moderate cosmetic concerns and want results without having to go through a long recovery.
Which Laser Skin Resurfacing Would Be Best For Me?
Here is a side-by-side comparison chart of how LaseMD Ultra compares with other laser resurfacing treatments.
| Laser Name | Best For | Downtime | Comfort Level | Suitability For Skin Tone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LaseMD Ultra | Reverses sun damage, treats melasma, smooths texture, reduces fine lines | 1 to 3 days | Mild to moderate | Safe for all skin tones |
| Fraxel (non-ablative) | Good for deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and texture issues. | 4 to 7 days | Moderate discomfort | Not suitable for all skin tones and best for lighter tones. |
| Moxi | Helps reduce early signs of aging and dullness. | 1 to 3 days | Very comfortable | Safe for all tones |
| Clear + Brilliant | Best for preventative care, correcting tone, and leaving your skin glowing. | 0 to 2 days | Easy to tolerate | Safe for all tones |
| CO₂ Laser (ablative) | Best for deep wrinkles, scars, and heavy sun damage. | 1 to 2 weeks | High discomfort | Not suitable for all skin tones and best used on lighter tones. |
There is no one-size-fits-all laser resurfacing treatment that can treat all the cosmetic concerns you may experience. Each treatment has its strengths and limitations, and what will work best for you will depend on your skin tone, your specific cosmetic concerns, how much downtime you are willing to endure, and what kind of results you are hoping to get.
