LaseMD® is an FDA-approved, non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin from within. By creating precise microchannels beneath the surface, LaseMD® stimulates the body’s natural healing response and boosts collagen and elastin production -- restoring smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

LaseMD® uses non-ablative thulium laser technology, which penetrates the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the surface completely intact. This triggers a natural repair response that improves tone and texture over time. Because the microchannels allow for enhanced absorption, nourishing serums and creams which are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Resveratrol, and Tranexamic Acid can also be applied immediately after treatment to enhance results.

What to Expect

Most LaseMD® treatments take 20–30 minutes and cause only mild discomfort. Patients describe a warm, prickling sensation as the laser glides over the skin. Immediately after treatment, your skin may feel slightly rough, like sandpaper, for about a week, but this is typically not visible to others. Because LaseMD® is non-ablative, there is minimal downtime. You can return to your normal routine and resume wearing cosmetics the following day. Noticeable results begin to appear after about 7–10 days, with the skin looking brighter, smoother, and more refreshed as healing continues.

Treatment Plan and Results

The best outcomes are achieved through a series of treatments. Most patients start with three sessions spaced four weeks apart, followed by annual or bi-annual maintenance treatments to prolong results. While the effects are long-lasting, the skin will continue to age naturally, so touch-ups may be recommended.
