For patients who want brighter, smoother, more youthful skin without extensive downtime, LaseMD Ultra has become one of the most sought-after laser treatments in modern aesthetics. This next-generation non-ablative fractional laser delivers impressive resurfacing results while keeping downtime minimal, making it ideal for busy professionals and those who want consistent, year-round skin rejuvenation.
At Grey Aesthetics in Newport Beach, CA, owner Shannon Hunter, with over 10 years of aesthetic experience, offers LaseMD Ultra to help patients improve skin tone, texture, pigmentation, and radiance safely and effectively.
LaseMD Ultra is gentle enough for routine maintenance yet powerful enough to correct stubborn skin concerns.
What Is LaseMD Ultra?
LaseMD Ultra is a customizable non-ablative fractional laser that works by creating thousands of micro-channels in the skin. These channels stimulate collagen remodeling, accelerate cell turnover, and allow the skin to heal stronger, smoother, and more evenly pigmented.
Because it is non-ablative, the surface of the skin remains intact, resulting in:
- Minimal downtime
- Faster healing
- A very tolerable treatment experience
- A safe option for more skin types compared to traditional resurfacing lasers
LaseMD Ultra is one of the most versatile resurfacing devices on the market today.
How LaseMD Ultra Works
LaseMD Ultra uses a 1927 nm thulium laser that gently heats the skin and targets pigment within the upper layers. The laser energy triggers the body’s natural repair response, which leads to:
- Increased collagen and elastin production
- Reduction in sun damage and pigmentation
- Smoother, more refined texture
- Smaller pore appearance
- Brighter overall tone
The treatment is fully customizable, allowing Shannon to choose the appropriate energy level for everything from light “lunchtime” refreshers to more intensive resurfacing sessions.
What LaseMD Ultra Treats
LaseMD Ultra can improve multiple concerns, including:
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma (with a gentle, low-energy approach)
- Uneven tone
- Rough or dull texture
- Acne scars
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Crepey skin on the face, neck, and chest
- Age spots and freckles
It is especially popular for patients seeking a brighter complexion and smoother texture with minimal downtime.
LaseMD Ultra vs. CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
LaseMD Ultra is often compared to CO₂ lasers, but each serves different needs.
LaseMD Ultra Benefits
- Non-ablative
- Gentle and comfortable
- Minimal downtime (usually 1–3 days)
- Safe for a wider range of skin tones
- Can treat melasma, which most aggressive lasers cannot
- Allows for regular maintenance treatments
CO₂ Laser Benefits
- More aggressive
- More dramatic tightening and resurfacing
- Longer recovery (7–14 days)
For patients who want consistent improvement with less downtime, LaseMD Ultra is a favorite at Grey Aesthetics.
What to Expect During a LaseMD Ultra Treatment
Your appointment at Grey Aesthetics begins with a personalized consultation to determine the ideal treatment strength.
A typical session includes:
- Cleansing the skin
- Optional topical numbing (usually not required)
- Laser passes across the treatment area
- A warm, prickling sensation that is very tolerable
- Cooling and soothing post-treatment hydration
Most treatments take just 15–30 minutes.
After the session, the skin feels warm—similar to a mild sunburn—for a few hours.
Recovery & Downtime
One of the biggest advantages of LaseMD Ultra is its quick recovery.
After treatment, you may experience:
- Redness for 24–48 hours
- A “sandpaper” texture as micro-channels heal
- Light bronzing or dryness
- Mild peeling or flaking
These are normal signs of skin renewal and typically resolve within a few days.
You can apply makeup after 24 hours and resume most normal activities right away.
When Will You See Results?
Most patients begin to see brighter, smoother skin within just a few days.
Full benefits develop as collagen continues to rebuild.
Results Timeline
- 3–5 days: Noticeable radiance boost
- 1–2 weeks: More even tone and smoother texture
- 1–3 months: Continued collagen remodeling for firmer skin
For best results, many patients choose a series of 3–4 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions throughout the year.

You may be an ideal candidate if you want to:
- Reduce sun damage
- Improve pigmentation or melasma
- Brighten dull skin
- Minimize pores and fine lines
- Smooth texture and acne scars
- Maintain youthful skin with minimal downtime
