Also known as Lase MD Ultra, the “Baby Face” laser treatment works mostly on pigmentation, fine lines and sun damage. After a thorough consultation to establish your goals and the best serum to go with the laser.
The Lase MD Ultra is a fractional sub-ablative laser – a bit like micro-needling. It delivers energy deep into the skin while leaving the surface intact. It creates controlled micro-injuries, prompting the skin to repair itself naturally. This process boosts collagen, resurfaces the skin and restores radiance.
THE PROCEDURE STEP BY STEP
Around 45 minutes before starting, you apply a numbing cream so you don’t feel the heat of the laser. During the treatment, the laser glides over your skin, creating the microchannels. Then, the serum is applied (with ingredients such as vitamin A, Resveratrol, tranexamic acid or exosomes) and thanks to the microchannels created by the laser, it penetrates up to 90 percent more than just applied on the surface of the skin.
The whole thing takes 40-45 minutes. They give you the rest of your serum to be applied two hours after leaving the clinic – because the micro-channels in the skin are still open – and the rest, day and night for the first couple of days. It stretches quite a lot so normally it will last you for a day and a half after the treatment (used two or three times a day).
Lase MD Ultra works on all skin types and aims at boosting collagen, resurfacing the skin and restoring radiance. For these reasons, it works very well on pigmentation issues and fine lines as well as shallow scarring.
Your skin will look a bit red for a couple of days and you must not use make-up or go to steam rooms or do anything that could mess up with your pores (remember that your face is full of open micro channels). After that, the skin becomes rough for a few days and may show tiny prick marks from the laser but by then, you can use make up. It is also recommended for a week or so not to use retinol or creams with any aggressive ingredients.
By day five or so, you start noticing your skin fresher, more even in tone and with a dazzling glow. As collagen production accelerates, your skin will continue to improve over the coming weeks. For optimal results, a course of 3-6 treatments spaced four weeks apart is recommended. £650-£750
