LaseMD Ultra™ is a fractional thulium laser used to improve skin texture, pigmentation and overall skin quality. Fractional means that the laser delivers its energy in numerous microscopic treatment zones. This stimulates renewal of the skin surface and helps selected active ingredients enter the skin in a more targeted way.
The treatment can be used for pigmentation, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, fine lines and irregular skin texture, among other concerns. At your initial consultation, we examine your skin to decide which intensity and which active ingredient ampoule are appropriate.
Treatment Areas
Intensity and active ingredients are adapted to each area being treated.
Face
On the face, the treatment can be used for pigment spots and melasma (patchy pigment changes), fine lines and wrinkles, and enlarged pores. Other uses include an uneven complexion, irregular texture, dullness and acne scars.
Neck and Décolleté
The delicate skin of the neck and décolleté can be treated for an uneven tone and visible sun damage.
Hands
Age spots and fine lines often appear on the hands as the first signs of skin ageing. These changes can be treated with LaseMD Ultra™ as well.
Body
On the body, stretch marks and scars in various areas may be treated. We discuss with you beforehand which areas are suitable.
How does LaseMD Ultra™ work?
LaseMD Ultra™ is a non-ablative laser, so the skin surface is not removed. It works at a wavelength of 1927 nm and delivers its energy precisely into the upper layers of the skin. Between the microscopic treatment zones, the surrounding tissue remains largely untreated, which allows controlled skin renewal.
Treatment depth and intensity can be adapted to the specific aim of each treatment. Over the following days and weeks, the skin gradually renews itself and can become smoother, more even and clearer.
The laser can also be combined with selected active ingredients that are applied topically, meaning directly to the skin. The microscopic channels created by the fractional treatment can support the absorption of these ingredients.

Why LaseMD Ultra™ at Aesthetics Medical?
Medical Supervision
At Aesthetics Medical, we use LaseMD Ultra™ as part of a medically supervised treatment approach. Beforehand, we assess your skin's pigmentation and sensitivity and also take your current skincare routine into account.
Tailored Laser Settings
We set the intensity and laser parameters based on your skin type, its current condition and what you want to achieve. We then add the active ingredient that suits your skin.
Natural-Looking Improvement
Our aim is a gradual improvement in texture, evenness and radiance, so that your skin looks refreshed and natural.
Considered Combinations
Where your skin condition allows, LaseMD Ultra™ may be combined with other dermatological and aesthetic treatments. We assess case by case which combination makes sense.
What does the treatment involve?
Consultation
In a personal consultation, we analyse your skin and discuss your wishes. Together, we then select a suitable active ingredient ampoule.
Preparation
The skin is first cleansed thoroughly. If needed, a numbing cream is then applied.
Laser Treatment
The laser head is passed over the treatment area several times, creating microscopic treatment channels. The whole session takes about 30–60 minutes, varying with the area treated.
Ingredients and Mask
The chosen active ingredients are applied immediately afterwards. A soothing care mask completes the treatment.
Aftercare
Slight redness and a feeling of warmth are possible afterwards and usually temporary. You take the rest of the ampoule home to use over the following days, together with advice on skincare and sun protection. Make-up can usually be worn again from the next day. If questions arise, you know whom to contact.
Active Ingredient Ampoules
Four active ingredient ampoules are available to complement the laser treatment and are applied immediately after the laser. The choice depends on your complexion and the effect you are aiming for.
Vitamin C
The VC ampoule contains vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect against free radicals. It can soften signs of skin ageing and support the formation of healthy collagen structures.
Vitamin A (Retinol)
The VA ampoule contains retinol, a form of vitamin A. Retinol stimulates skin cell renewal and can promote the body's own collagen production.
Tranexamic Acid
The TA ampoule contains tranexamic acid, an ingredient with a brightening effect. The ampoule is used for pigmentation, melasma and scars.
Resveratrol
The RS ampoule contains resveratrol, which has an antioxidant effect and can support collagen formation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the treatment work and how long does it take?
The skin is first cleansed thoroughly and prepared with numbing cream if needed. The thulium laser is then passed over the treatment areas several times, followed by the chosen active ingredients and a soothing mask. Altogether, the treatment takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area.
Is the treatment painful, and is anaesthesia used?
The treatment is generally well tolerated. A sensation of warmth or mild burning may occur while the laser is being applied. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand if needed, and we clarify in advance whether this makes sense for you.
What risks and side effects are possible?
Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, dryness or rough skin may occur, and fine flaking or small superficial crusts are possible with more intensive settings. These reactions usually settle within a few days, and sensitivity to sunlight may be increased for a while. Rarely, pigment changes can occur, particularly in people prone to pigmentation or after intense sun exposure. We go through the risks relevant to your situation with you beforehand.
What should I consider before the treatment?
Before your appointment, you receive clear instructions on medication and sun exposure. With suitable sun protection and professional guidance, you can have the treatment all year round, including in sunnier months. Your current skincare routine and any tendency towards pigment changes are also taken into account when planning.
What should I consider after the treatment?
In the days that follow, treat your skin gently and avoid scrubbing, picking or peeling it. During this time, you apply the rest of the ampoule at home. Consistent sun protection is particularly important, as your skin is temporarily more sensitive to sunlight.
How long does recovery take after the treatment?
Significant downtime is usually not required, although your skin may stay red, dry or slightly flaky for some days. More intensive treatments can also cause small superficial crusts. Based on how your skin reacts, it can be advisable to avoid intense exercise, saunas and strong heat for a short time. You can usually apply make-up and return to your usual activities from the next day.

When do results become visible?
Initial changes in the skin usually appear within a few days. As skin renewal continues over several weeks, your complexion can look progressively more even and clearer during this time.
How long do the results last?
After a course of treatments, the effect usually lasts several months. To maintain the improvement, follow-up sessions every 2–3 months may be worthwhile, depending on your skin and aims. We discuss a suitable schedule with you.
How many sessions are usually needed?
A course of 5 treatments at 2-week intervals is often planned, with the exact number tailored to your skin. After that, maintenance treatments every 2–3 months may be beneficial, depending on the state of your skin and your goals.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
LaseMD Ultra™ may be suitable if you would like to improve pigment spots, fine lines, enlarged pores, an uneven complexion or irregular texture. The intensity is adjusted to your skin type, skin tone and condition. Before treatment, we check whether it is right for you, also considering your skin's sensitivity and any tendency towards pigment changes.
How much does the treatment cost?
A treatment of the face, neck or décolleté costs CHF 450, or CHF 500 with resveratrol. For the face, neck and décolleté together, the price is CHF 900, or CHF 950 with resveratrol. Aesthetic treatments are usually paid for privately, and we confirm the exact cost of your treatment plan after your consultation.
