What is the Ultra Laser?

Lutronic Ultra™ is a low-downtime laser that resurfaces the skin, giving it a brighter tone and improved texture. This laser has two modalities, or treatment levels, Ultra Refresh and Ultra Laser.

Ultra Refresh has very minimal downtime and refreshes and evens skin tone. Nicknamed “the lunchtime laser”, this laser is perfect for those new to lasers or who have lighter sun damage.

Ultra Laser is more aggressive and addresses sun damage, still with a low downtime. Ultra Laser can be done with numbing cream applied, which has made it a staff favorite. Both of these Ultra and Ultra Refresh can be used for the Face, Neck, or Chest (décolleté).

Both treatment levels treat age spots, freckles, sunspots, pigmented lesions, and Actinic Keratosis (pre-cancerous lesions). When more sun damage is present on the skin, the Ultra Laser is generally the recommendation.

We recommend starting with a complimentary consultation  and have one of our skin experts recommend the best treatment options for you.

This unique device can also be combined with Genius RF Microneedling for a treatment called Ultra RF, a complete skin rejuvenation treatment. Another modality with this device is a treatment for hair rejuvenation called Keralase, which treats thinning hair.
