LaseMD Ultra was created to deliver the deepest skin penetration. It is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment that uses gentle columns of heat to stimulate collagen growth without wounding the skin. As it pulses energy into target areas, tiny channels are created in the dermis and epidermis. This allows the laser’s ampoules to be absorbed best.
How do you know if LaseMD Ultra is right for you? It’s suitable for all skin types and plays no favorites, which isn’t true of all lasers. Some of them can be quite picky. Numbing is optional for LaseMD Ultra, allowing us to manage treatment better for patients who have allergies or more complex conditions like rosacea or atopic dermatitis.
LaseMD Ultra can treat a bevy of blemishes from benign pigmented lesions from sun damage to birthmarks and freckles. Not that there’s anything wrong with birthmarks and freckles, of course. In fact, we’re huge fans. However, beauty is in the eye of the patient, and we’re committed to helping every patient achieve their skin goals. LaseMD Ultra can be effective in treating actinic keratosis and lentigo, as well as rejuvenating the face, neck, and décolletage areas.
LaseMD Ultra is a powerful yet gentle, non-invasive laser that can take years off your face by treating your imperfections in a safe, efficient manner. The light emitted from this cutting-edge laser will have the power to penetrate the deepest layers of your skin, stimulate the production of collagen, and completely rejuvenate your skin. Patients enjoy treatments for just 15 – 20 minutes.

He is sought out for his expertise as a Mohs micrographic surgeon and laser treatment specialist, as well as his warm, attentive style of patient care.
