LaseMD™ fractional laser resurfacing — from a no-downtime GLO™ glow to a deeper Advanced session, dialed to your skin and your calendar.
You arrive, your skin is cleansed, and a fine handpiece passes across your face. What you feel is warm and prickly — what's happening underneath is the laser opening microscopic channels across the surface, clearing the dull, pigmented top layer so fresher, more even skin can come up in its place. The tissue between those channels is left intact, which is why you heal in days, not weeks.
The instant those channels are open, your provider presses in a targeted ampule — vitamin C, retinol, tranexamic acid, a melasma blend, growth factor, or resveratrol — chosen for what your skin needs that day. It's the one window where these actives can reach where creams simply cannot.
And the intensity is yours to choose — a barely-there GLO™ before an event, or a deeper Advanced pass when you have a few days to renew. Same laser, your calendar's rules.

Pick the version that fits your week. Same laser — the only thing that changes is how much your skin renews and how many days you'll spend looking a little bronzed.
Have an event this weekend? No numbing, about a day of light pinkness, and a fresh glow by morning. The easiest way to meet the laser for the first time.
A few days off the calendar and you want a real shift? Optional light numbing, then 2 — 3 days of bronzing and fine sandpaper texture as the new surface comes up.
The most correction we can do in a single visit. Topical numbing first, then 5 — 7 days of bronzing and micro-crusting — book it when you can stay in for a week.
Who it helps.
Over a short series, your skin looks brighter, more even, and softer to the touch — and the active your provider chose gets to work the same day, at a depth no cream can reach.
Sun spots fade, dull patches lift, and the skin you see in the mirror starts looking like it did a few years ago — over a short series, not a single visit.
Pores look finer, fine lines soften, and the rough patches that catch your makeup quietly resolve as the surface renews.
The serum you'd spend months building up to with topicals reaches deep on day one — because the channels are open and your skin is ready to take it.
The questions that come up in every LaseMD™ consult — answered the way we'd answer them in the room.
Warm and prickly — most people describe it as a strong sunburn feeling that lifts the moment the pass ends. GLO needs no numbing at all. For Standard and Advanced, we apply a topical numbing cream first so you're comfortable through the deeper passes.
It depends on the intensity you choose — about a day of light pinkness for GLO, 2 — 3 days of bronzing and fine sandpaper texture for Standard, and 5 — 7 days of bronzing with micro-crusting for Advanced. You can wear makeup the next day at every tier.
The first shift shows up once the bronzing sheds — usually 3 — 5 days in — and your skin keeps refining for weeks after. The fuller change in tone, texture, and clarity arrives over a series of 3 — 5 sessions spaced about a month apart.
LaseMD is a non-ablative fractional laser — it opens microscopic channels so a chosen ampule can absorb where creams can't, and it drives renewal a little deeper than a Hollywood Peel without the recovery of an ablative resurfacing. Microneedling uses fine needles instead of light; the two pair well, which is what our TotalSkin Solution visit is built around.
The 1927 nm thulium wavelength is generally well-tolerated across a wide range of skin tones, and the GLO setting is especially gentle. We'll read your skin in person before any pass — for melasma or deeper tones, we often start lower, pair with a pigment-calming ampule, and protect aggressively with SPF between visits.
Stop retinol and exfoliating acids about a week out, avoid fresh sun and self-tanner, and arrive with clean skin. Afterward: a gentle cleanser, the post-care moisturizer we send home with you, and strict SPF — sun protection is what protects the result you just paid for.
Every LaseMD™ plan starts by reading your skin type and goals, so we match the right intensity, ampule, and number of sessions to you — not a default.
