glowing skin with lasemd ultra

Lutronic LaseMD ULTRA is a low-downtime laser that resurfaces the skin, giving it brighter tone and improved texture. Treatments can be customized for your particular needs and schedule. ULTRA can be used anywhere on the body for treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, freckles, sun spots, non-cancerous pigmented lesions, sun damage, and even Melasma.

Lutronic ULTRA is the next generation thulium laser (improved over LaseMD). It has 20 watts of power (as opposed to LaseMD which as 5 watts of power). Therefore, treatments with ULTRA are faster and can be titrated to a more powerful strength, giving improved results.

what are the benefits of Lutronic LasemD ultra Laser?

Glowing skin with improved tone and texture for a smoother and brighter complexion is what patients rave about.

• Improved appearance of scars

• Reduce pigment and sun damage for brighter appearance of skin

• Can be used on skin anywhere on the face/body

• Low downtime

• Safe for all skin types

• Safe for use all year round

how does LaseMD ultra work?

• ULTRA is a 1927 nm wavelength laser which resurfaces the skin in the epidermis and dermis.

• ULTRA targets water instead of pigment, resulting in a more even treatment. It is less likely to cause unintentional burns than IPL which targets pigment. Thus it is safe for all skin types.

• ULTRA causes non-ablative, microscopic injuries which stimulates new collagen production, and has a fast recovery period.

What is the Ultra treatment like?

Patients can expect mild redness after the treatment, but you look great! You don’t have to worry about taking time off from work or hiding at home for an extended recovery time. You can wear 100% tinted mineral sunscreen right away to reduce the appearance of redness - our favorite is EltaMD UV Elements.

• Your provider at Rejuve Medspa may apply numbing cream prior to treatment depending on the settings and goals for your treatment. For the “Glo and Go” treatment, no numbing medication is required.

• Patients describe the Ultra treatment as a warm, tingling sensation which may vary. The treatment time may range from 10-20 minutes or longer depending on how much area is being treated.

• Immediately following the treatment, you will notice some redness which will lessen over the next day or so.

• The following 5-6 days, your skin will have a dry, sandpaper-like texture. This is normal and will resolve as your skin exfoliates, revealing fresher, clearer skin.

Clarity II Laser with Ultra Laser

Clarity II can be pared with LaseMD Ultra Laser for enhanced reduction of unwanted pigment, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion.

HEALITE with Ultra Laser

Although the healing time with the Ultra Laser is very quick, HEALITE can further speed recovery and enhance collagen stimulation to improve overall results.

Exosomes with Ultra Laser

Exosome Regenerative Complex promotes skin cell proliferation by up to 80%, resulting in an increase in the Elastin amount of human dermal fibroblasts up to 300%. The Ultra Laser creates tiny micro channels on the skin allowing for the absorption of Exosomes to both speed recovery and boost the rejuvenating benefits of this laser treatment.

Genius RF Microneedling - Why Its So Effective For Skin Tightening and Acne Scars

After the age of 20, we lose about 1% of collagen every year. To keep skin appearing youthful and healthy, it is important to maintain abundant levels of collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein made up of amino-acids and makes up about a third of all of the protein in your body. Collagen is often referred to as the “glue that holds everything together.” It keeps the skin elastic and firm.

Lutronic Genius RF Microneedling combines Radiofrequency with Microneedling to target multiple depths of your skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Both mechanisms of Microneedling and heating tissue with Radiofrequency causes injury to the tissue beneath the epidermis (top layer of the skin). Injury triggers the body’s natural healing cascade which in turn promotes the building of new collagen and elastin.

What does genius do?

• Builds collagen and elastin

• Tightens skin (reduces wrinkles and improves loose skin)

• Improves acne by reducing pore size and sebum (oil) production

• Improves acne scars

• Improves appearance of cellulite and stretch marks

Genius RF for wrinkles:

how does genius work?

There are 4 different tips to choose from depending on what target areas are desired. The face tip has 49 very fine needles which can be programmed to target specific depths. Deeper depths achieve facial contouring and fat reduction where desired (such as in the jowl’s or under eye bags). Emitting radiofrequency at more superficial depths cause skin tightening which has greater effects on reducing wrinkles. The goal of treatment with Genius is to target multiple depths to achieve various desired effects.

Genius is safe for all skin types because it avoids injury to the epidermis (top layer of skin) where the melanocytes (pigment cells) reside. Although there is still a rare chance of hyperpigmentation (dark discoloration of the skin), it is unlikely.

How Does Genius compare with Morpheus 8 or Other RF Microneedling Devices on the Market?

Genius RF Microneedling by Lutronic distinguishes itself from other RF microneedling devices on the market by the superior effectiveness of the treatments without the associated downtime. Because there are 49 needles per tip (compared with 24 needles with Morpheus 8), more energy can be emitted, producing a higher level of skin tightening. In addition, the Genius needles are finer and more flexible, causing less epidermal injury, less risk for bruising, bleeding, or scratches often seen with Morpheus 8 treatments.

Combining Genius RF Microneedling with LaseMD Ultra:

While Genius RF Microneedling affects the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production resulting in skin tightening and reduced appearance of scars, LaseMD Ultra is a resurfacing laser that works on the more superficial layers of the skin to improve fine lines/wrinkles, smooth texture, and remove unwanted pigment. Both treatments can be performed on the same day for optimal results.

Genius pre-treatment: What should I do to prepare?

Before your Genius treatment, it is important to take these steps:

• Medical Clearance and Consent: The Rejuve Medspa team will make sure to answer your questions and address any concerns.

• Stop any Retinols or Tretinoin (Retin-A) products 1 week before Genius

• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning (wear daily sunscreen) 3-4 weeks before treatment.

• Clean skin: avoid applying make-up, ointments or creams to the treatment area.

• Avoid aspirin or Motrin (ibuprofen) 1 day prior to Genius treatment. You may not be a candidate for Genius if you are taking blood thinners.

what can i expect during Genius treatment?

• Topical numbing medication will be applied after your skin has been thoroughly cleansed. The numbing medication is left on the skin for 1 hour before treatment begins. A section of your treatment area will be cleansed before microneedling on that section begins.

• The microneedling tip has very fine needles that make the procedure tolerable. The providers at Rejuve Medspa will answer all your questions and take you step by step through the process.

genius post-treatment: what should I do after treatment?

• Avoid any skin products or cleansers to treated area for 12 hours. Then use gentle cleanser for 2 weeks.

• Avoid any strenuous activity for 24 hours (sweating increases risk for infection).

• Avoid wearing Make-up for 2-3 days.

• Use mineral-based sun screen daily.

• Avoid excessive heat or sun exposure for 1 week.

• Avoid Tretinoin or Retinol for 1 week.

• Avoid Lasers, BBL or IPL for 4 weeks.

• Recommend DefenAge 8:1 bioserum twice daily to help regenerate new skin cells.  

• Your providers at Rejuve Medspa can answer your questions about other skin care products or concerns you may have.

what to expect after genius treatment:

• 1 day Post-Treatment: Redness and transient edema, skin begins to turn to a condition similar to before treatment.

• 3 days - 1 week Post-Treatment: Brighter skin tone and significant reduction in sebum secretion in oily skin types.

• 1 month Post-Treatment: Improvement of fine wrinkles and skin laxity.

• 1-3 months Post-Treatment: Continuous improvement of fine wrinkles, pores size, scars and skin laxity.

• Common expected skin reactions include erythema (redness), edema (swelling), transient pin-point bleeding, and very slight discomfort after treatment.  Pin-point bleeding should stop within minutes after application, discomfort within a few hours and erythema and edema gradually diminishes to normal in 1 to 3 days.

• Crusting begins to appear 1 – 2 days after treatment and sloughs off in 3 – 5 days.

• Other less common skin reactions include petechia which fade in a few days or bruising (purpura) which can take up to a week to disappear.

• Other skin reactions include irritation, itching, and burning sensation. These typically subside in a few hours to 1 day, but may get aggravated with heat or sweating.  If these reactions continue consider evaluating for possible infection, changing their skin care regimen and/or short-term use of mild topical steroid.

when should i follow up?

• It is best to wait 4-6 weeks before seeking another Genius treatment.
