Lutronic Ultra Laser Resurfacing

If you suffer from blotchy, sun damaged or discolored skin, the Lutronic Ultra laser would be beneficial to you. If you have large pores, freckles, or wrinkles you would also benefit from the laser treatment. This laser is quick, and requires no down time which makes it a convenient option for many people. This laser can be used all year round and is safe for any skin type!

The average length of a Lutronic Ultra Laser treatment is up to a year if the appropriate steps for improvements are continued. Appropriate steps include, wearing sunscreen and assuring the treated area is covered for at least two weeks.

One of our skincare specialists will examine your skin before a laser treatment and inform you of things to expect. If you suffer from skin conditions such as inflammatory acne or eczema let your skin care specialist know ahead of time as it may affect the healing process. Things to avoid before an laser treatment include:

– Direct sunlight

– Tanning beds

– Waxing

– Chemical peels

– Collagen injections

– Drugs that increase your bleeding risk, such as aspirin (Ecotrin) and ibuprofen (Advil)

– Creams or other products that contain vitamin A, such as RetinA, or glycolic acid

The area that is treated will appear red and be sensitive for a few hours after the treatment. Many patients have referred to the feeling as a sunburn. The treated area may be slightly swollen for the first few hours. These side effects will continue a few days after the initial treatment. Hot water should be avoided until the treated area heals.

The majority of patients experience little or no pain during the treatment. Many patients have described the feeling of the light pulses similar to gentle “snaps” of a rubber band.
