LaseMD Ultra™ is a modern laser device that trans­ports valuable active ingre­dients into the skin via laser micro­channels and thus stimu­lates skin regene­ration from within. In the process, nanosized cosme­ceu­ticals are intro­duced into the skin. The under­lying skin layer absorbs the ingre­dients and the micro­channels are gently closed. The LaseMD Ultra™ is a non-ablative fractional thulium laser - the corneal layer remains undamaged.

Thanks to the integrated cosme­ceu­tical delivery system, the ingre­dients of the following LaseMD ampoules can penetrate the skin in a controlled manner and control the therapy indivi­dually for the patient. The active ingre­dients contain no preser­va­tives or chemicals and are suitable for various instances.

VC AMPOULE (ASCORBIC ACID)

Vitamin C is known for its antioxidant effect and protects the skin from free radicals. It reduces the signs of skin ageing, especially in very photo-aged skin, by helping to build healthy collagen struc­tures and cell regeneration.

VA AMPOULE (RETINOL)

Vitamin A or retinoic acid acts as an anti-ageing agent and activates cell renewal by promoting collagen production in a natural way.

TA AMPOULE (TRANEXAMIC ACID)

Tranexamic acid lightens the skin and is ideal for treating melasma, pigmen­tation marks and scars.

RS AMPOULE (RESVERATROL)

Resver­atrol acts against free radicals and supports the skin in the collagen formation and regene­ration process. In addition to its skin-rejuve­nating properties, the active ingre­dient also has anti-inflammatory properties and stabi­lises the skin's defences.

What are the advan­tages of LaseMD Ultra™?

The following advan­tages are associated with LaseMD Ultra™:

1. Gentle laser therapy: The thulium laser opens small micro-channels to transport the ingre­dients to the under­lying skin. It is a non-invasive procedure and the session is painless for the patient. The surface of the skin is not removed during the treatment and is therefore not damaged. The patient can return to their normal social life immediately after the session.
2. Direct and long-lasting effect: The skin benefits from the treatment immediately after the session by looking radiant, firmer, and more even. In the weeks and months that follow, the skin continues to regenerate and build up its defences.
3. Mostly appli­cable at any time of the year: The active ingre­dients penetrate the skin during the treatment while the upper corneal layer remains intact. The skin is not as sensitive to the sun as with a strong peeling or an ablative laser therapy. However, it should be noted that depending on the ingre­dient, the skin may also lighten and be treated against pigmen­tation spots. In such cases, we recommend that the treatment be performed during the autumn and winter months.
4. Versatile results: LaseMD Ultra™ therapy works for many issues, which are caused by the progressive, natural ageing process on the one hand, or by acne, injuries or light exposure on the other. It is a non-invasive method that stimu­lates the cells from the inside. Therefore, it is in turn also suitable as a preventive, prophyl­actic anti-aging measure.

Further advan­tages include:

• No general anaes­thesia, but light anaes­thetic with local anaes­thetic ointment
• No incision and no scars
• Good tolerance according to experience

Who should not get a LaseMD Ultra™?

The treatment is not recom­mended for those with:

• Skin rashes, skin diseases (e.g., herpes, eczema, neuro­der­ma­titis), skin allergies or irritated skin
• Inflammatory acne
• Wound healing disorders
• Weakness of the connective tissue
• Patients under­going treatment (e.g., Roaccutane, photo­sen­si­tising drugs)
• Severe tanning
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

The current prices for a LaseMD Ultra™ depend on the treatment area(s) and Lase MD ampoule:

The treatment is suitable for all skin types and is recom­mended for patients who want to improve the skin's appearance from the inside out using valuable ingre­dients. This includes not only skin rejuve­nation, but also accele­rated wound healing, activation of the skin's self-healing powers and reduction of pigmen­tation marks and scars.

The LaseMD Ultra™ is also aimed at patients who want a painless and effective method where they can resume everyday activities immediately after treatment or cannot afford any downtime.

LaseMD Ultra™ can be applied to the face, neck and décolleté as well as the body.

When you come to our practice for your treatment, we can discuss the possible areas that could benefit from this procedure. We offer consul­ta­tions so you can learn more about your options before deciding if LaseMD Ultra™ treatment is right for you.

1. Preli­minary discussion /​consul­tation:

At the beginning of the first session, our expert will have a consul­tation with you. This will determine your desired result and treatment zone, as well as whether the LaseMD Ultra™ is suitable for you. We inform you about possible risks and the realistic results to be expected. We will then agree on the type and duration of LaseMD Ultra™ treatment, including cosme­ceu­ticals, to achieve optimal results.

2. Before the treatment:

After the consul­tation, the session is started. According to the preli­minary consul­tation, the area to be treated is cleaned and an anaes­thetic ointment is applied.

3. During treatment:

The laser head is rolled several times over the affected skin area and shoots permeable micro channels into the skin. Directly after­wards, the respective ingre­dients of the ampoule are applied. This is followed by a care mask and the appro­priate moisturiser.

4. After the treatment:

We give you the remaining contents of the ampoule after the treatment. The skin is slightly reddened and well supplied with blood. You can apply make-up the next day and go about your desired activities.

You can apply the active ingre­dients in the following days in the morning and in the evening until they are used up.

If you experience any prolonged side effects or other discomfort after the treatment, you can contact us at any time. We are here for you.

Thanks to modern technology, laser therapy offers a huge range of possible appli­ca­tions. Therefore, expec­ta­tions differ depending on the chosen form of therapy and treatment goal. In general, it can be said for all treat­ments that the mode of action of the ingre­dients enables optimal absorption in the under­lying skin layer. This refreshes the skin without damaging the skin surface. No ablation of the skin is needed to achieve this permea­bility. A radiant skin with a balanced skin texture and a brighter complexion can be expected.

The result depends on the individual reason for treatment, the type of therapy and the initial situation as well as the treatment goal. We recommend a series of 5 treat­ments at intervals of 2 weeks to achieve optimal results. The first successes are often already visible after the first sessions.

Does LaseMD Ultra™ help against stretch marks? 

Yes. Laser therapy offers an effective method of treating stretch marks.

The LaseMD Ultra™ treatment uses a thulium laser to emit a micro-laser beam. This opens micro-channels that are permeable to nanopar­ticles. Depending on the type of therapy, cosme­ceu­ticals are then intro­duced directly into the skin. In this way, valuable ingre­dients can be absorbed into the dermis and effec­tively unfold their effect from the inside out.

The LaseMD Ultra™ treatment is considered to be painless and a numbing ointment is applied. Heat may be felt during the treatment and after­wards the treated area may be slightly red.

Experience has shown that the treatment is very well tolerated.

The treated area may be slightly reddened, which subsides after a few hours. Depending on the active ingre­dient used, the skin may be more sensitive to sun exposure after treatment.

We will be happy to advise you before your treatment about potential risks and whether LaseMD Ultra™ is suitable for you and your desired goals.

LaseMD Ultra™ requires no downtime.

Can I do sports after the LaseMD Ultra™?

Yes. You can resume your normal activities as usual after LaseMD Ultra™.

The skin may be slightly red after the treatment. Experience shows that this reddening only lasts a few hours. The skin surface is not damaged during the treatment and is therefore intact. The fine micro channels in the skin close gently and the skin is in the process of repair. We therefore recommend that you repeat the next session in 2 weeks at the earliest.

After the redness subsides, the skin is already better supplied with blood after the first session and looks fresher. Depending on the treatment area, the course of therapy and the reason of treatment, results are achieved at different speeds.

In the case of scars, acne and skin irregu­la­rities due to injuries, the skin already looks smoother after the 3rd session and after 5 sessions irregu­la­rities are clearly improved.

In the case of pigmen­tation spots, disco­lou­ration and melasma, the impro­vement is already visible after 1-2 weeks.

Feel free to book a consul­tation appointment so that we can discuss how many treat­ments you need to achieve your desired results. This will also allow us to estimate when you are likely to achieve your desired result.

Can I enhance the LaseMD Ultra™ results with additional treatments?

Yes. After the LaseMD Ultra™ therapy, the desired results can be supple­mented with peelings or fractional laser therapies.

We will be happy to advise you on other methods to achieve your desired goals.

The thulium laser has a wide range of appli­ca­tions. Depending on the reason for treatment, the result can be long-term, such as in case of a scar treatment. Treat­ments against pigmentary shifts and melasma can also be of a long-term nature, provided that the necessary aftercare is also observed, such as regular sun protection. Success in this regard also depends on the origin of the pigmen­tation disorder.

The treatment also slows down the skin ageing process and boosts collagen production. How long these results last depend indivi­dually on the initial condition of the skin, the patient's lifestyle and expectations.

The number of sessions depends on the form of therapy and the initial condition. Experience shows that 5 treat­ments at intervals of 2 weeks are recom­mended for optimal results. Depending on the treatment goal, the laser therapy can be repeated later.

We offer consul­ta­tions and would be happy to discuss with you whether LaseMD Ultra™ therapy is right for you and appro­xi­m­ately how many treat­ments are necessary for your goal.

A typical treatment lasts about an hour, depending on the treatment zone.

The treatment does not damage the top layer of skin and is gentler than ablative laser therapies or peels. The active ingre­dients can penetrate the under­lying skin via micro­channels without ablating the skin surface. The patient can comfor­tably return to their social activities immediately after the session.

Compared to other minimally invasive proce­dures, the method is painless: no needles are used. Compared to invasive proce­dures or surgical inter­ven­tions, the LaseMD Ultra™ is very gentle. No downtime is required and accor­dingly, side effects as well as late effects are minimal to non-existent.

Other methods can optimise the desired result depending on the objective. We usually recommend this after completion of the laser therapy.

Other advan­tages over alter­native methods:

• No downtime
• No surgery required
• Good tolerance; gentle on the surface of the skin
• Suitable for all skin types

The medical appli­cation of laser technology goes back to the 1960s, where the mode of action of laser beams on the skin was studied and later used for medical purposes. Later, the technology developed further and has already been used in derma­tology for more than 50 years.

The modern LaseMD Ultra™ system was already approved by the FDA in 2017. Then in 2019, the further develo­pment LaseMD Ultra™ was presented for the first time at the Cosmetic Surgery Forum in Nashville, USA.
