Summer is the time when things finally slow down, and hopefully, most of us can take a few days of vacation. With the nicer weather, we tend to be more active and get motivated to try to start taking better care of ourselves. Many people want to try low downtime treatments to diminish old sun damage and the signs of aging, but are often told that they will have to wait until the fall. Beach Dermatology Skin Wellness Clinic is happy to provide several treatments that are safe all year round. We are especially excited about our new laser, the Cyanosure Lutronic Ultra LaseMD. This unique technology is considered a standout in the field of laser skin resurfacing due to its advanced technology, versatility, and patient-friendly features.
- Advanced Non-Ablative Fractional Technology
Utilizing a 1927 nm Thulium wavelength, the LaseMD Ultra is a non-ablative fractional laser that creates microthermal zones in the skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and tone without removing the top layer of skin. This approach reduces recovery time and minimizes the risk of complications compared to traditional ablative lasers. There are other 1927 lasers like the Moxi, but Ultra LaseMD offers superior results with less downtime and fewer sessions.
- Customizable Treatment Options
The system offers adjustable settings, allowing practitioners to tailor treatments from mild to aggressive based on individual skin concerns and goals. This customization makes it suitable for a wide range of issues, including fine lines, pigmentation, and sun damage. This laser is ideal for brown spots, wrinkles, dull texture, even acne, and acne scarring. Hair loss is very hard to treat, but this laser can also help with thinning hair and alopecia.
- Quick and Comfortable Sessions
Treatments are typically fast, with full-face sessions lasting around 10-15 minutes. Commonly treated areas are the face, neck, chest, arms, and scalp. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often describing the sensation as mild warmth or tingling. Topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort during more intense treatments. Dr. Clark offers patients their own prescription for numbing cream if they prefer to apply at home to save waiting time in the office.
- Minimal Downtime
Post-treatment, patients may experience mild redness, similar to a sunburn, but can resume normal activities almost immediately. Complete healing usually occurs within 7-10 days.
- Safe for All Skin Types
The LaseMD Ultra is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types, including darker tones, which are often more prone to pigmentation issues. This broad applicability allows for year-round treatments without the risk of hyperpigmentation.
**This is HUGE!! Most lasers are only safe for white skin. This laser is safe for all skin tones and ethnicities.
- Enhanced Results with Cosmeceutical Ampoules
Following laser treatment, cosmeceutical ampoules containing active ingredients like Exosomes, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid, Retinol, or Resveratrol can be applied. These ingredients penetrate the skin through the microchannels created by the laser, enhancing the treatment’s effectiveness in addressing pigmentation, aging signs, and skin texture.
- Cost-Effective and Efficient
The LaseMD Ultra offers high performance at a lower cost compared to many competitors. Its efficiency allows for quick treatments with consistent results, making it a valuable addition to aesthetic practices. This is the laser that a teenager with acne and hyperpigmentation and her grandmother with sun damage and wrinkles can both get before a wedding to reduce the appearance of stubborn concerns. We are so excited to be one of the first to offer this laser in the panhandle!
We also offer a variety of low downtime procedures that can be done in the summer. Of course, you always want to use sunscreen before and after any cosmetic treatments. We offer many options, including neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport, soft tissue fillers like JUVÉDERM and Restylane, Hydrafacials, customized facials, microneedling with Skinpen, dermaplaning and more. With every procedure, ideal results are seen after a series of 3-6 treatments, but many patients are thrilled with results even after one treatment.
