The LaseGlaze...

The LaseGlaze...

Have you even had a facial if you don't glaze like a Krispy Kreme doughnut?

Finally, my baby LaseMD has landed in the clinic, and I am like a child on Christmas morning. Allow me to take you back around 15-20 years when lasers were first used in our industry to change the skin's surface. We all heard about the benefits and saw the results of the CO2 ablative laser. However, due to the pain and long recovery time associated with this type of laser, it is not an option for many. CO2 lasers burn off the entire outer layer of skin; remember Samantha in sex and the city? That's what we call ablative laser resurfacing. The skin may require a full month or more to regenerate from such procedures and be light-sensitive indefinitely. There is also a huge risk of scarring, worsening of dark pigmentation and infection with these lasers. As a result, the CO2 laser is not a realistic option for most.

Next came fractional lasers, or Fraxel as it's widely known. Fractional, meaning part of the skin was destroyed by having the laser drill thousands of small holes into the skin. Recovery time was quicker, but the early fractional lasers were still painful, led to crusting and peeling, and had downtime of about one week. This was an improvement over CO2 ablative lasers but was still not perfect.

Technology has improved since then, and the result is where we are at today with the LaseMD – a fractional non-ablative laser and cosmeceutical delivery system that received FDA approval in 2017.

LaseMD is the newest technology in laser resurfacing treatment options by  Lutronic, a leading innovator in advanced aesthetic and medical laser for over 20 years. LaseMD is a non-ablative 1927 fractional laser, safe for all skin types 1-6 and can be performed all year around. Unlike a CO2 ablative laser, we can treat more than just the face. LaseMD is excellent for the neck, upper chest, arms, bum and hands and stimulates hair growth on the scalp. But there's more.. We maximise on the channels created by the laser and the pockets formed between the epidermis and dermis, and we use the opportunity to feed the skin. Using LaseMD Nano serums, free from perfume, preservatives and other unnecessary chemicals, we choose whichever serum targets your skin concerns and fill the skin with these tiny particles. It means you experience world-class laser treatment and facial treatment in one sitting.
