At MiraMed and Day Spa in Santa Barbara, we are now offering the LaseMD Ultra, an advanced laser treatment that provides a gentle yet effective way to refresh your skin’s clarity and texture with minimal downtime. Ultra helps reduce pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone, supporting your skin’s natural renewal without interrupting your daily activities. It’s a practical option for maintaining healthy, radiant skin throughout the year while addressing the visible effects of sun exposure and aging.

What Skin Concerns Can Ultra Address?

Ultra is effective for treating:

  • Sun damage and pigmentation (sun spots, freckles, uneven tone)
  • Melasma treatment
  • Age spots and pigmented lesions
  • Actinic keratosis (precancerous lesions)
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Dullness and lack of clarity

     

This makes Ultra a practical choice for those looking to refresh and even out their skin safely and effectively.

What is Ultra?

Ultra is a fractional, non-ablative laser treatment that uses a 1927 nm thulium laser wavelength to create controlled microthermal zones in the skin, prompting natural exfoliation and collagen production. “Fractional, non-ablative” means the laser creates a pattern of tiny treatment zones beneath the skin’s surface while leaving the surrounding skin intact, allowing for faster healing and minimal downtime while still stimulating your skin to renew itself. The treatment is gentle enough to perform any time of year on all skin types, and it can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas affected by sun damage.

How Ultra Works 

By creating small thermal zones, Ultra stimulates your skin to produce new tissue and replace old, damaged cells. This process helps reduce pigmentation, smooth unevenskin texture, and promote a brighter, healthier appearance without extensive downtime.

What to Expect During and After Ultra Treatment

  • Numbing cream may be applied before your session for comfort.
  • During treatment, you may feel a warm, tingling sensation that varies by individual.
  • Sessions typically last 10-20 minutes, longer for larger areas.
  • After treatment, redness is common and lessens within 24 hours.
  • For 5-6 days, your skin may feel dry and sandpaper-like as it exfoliates naturally, revealing clearer, smoother skin beneath.
  • Following your treatment, sunscreen is essential for protecting your results.
