Laser treatments

LaseMD Ultra in Pleasanton, CA, a fractional laser for pigment, scars and texture

LaseMD Ultra is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen, breaks up excess pigment and prompts new skin cells, so melasma, sun spots, acne scars and rough texture improve with minimal downtime. At Radiance Wellness & Aesthetics in Pleasanton, Zayda Yeoh, NP, a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, plans and performs it, starting with a skin consultation. A session takes 20 to 30 minutes, redness settles within 24 to 48 hours, and the best results come from a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

How LaseMD Ultra works

A fractional laser treats a fraction of the skin at a time, in a grid of microscopic columns, and leaves the skin between them untouched. Those untreated bridges are why healing is fast. Non-ablative means the surface is not removed, so there is no open wound and no week of raw skin.

Inside the treated columns, the laser energy breaks up clustered melanin at its source and triggers collagen and elastin. Intensity and depth are adjustable, from a mild refresh to a deeper resurfacing, and the treatment is safe across skin types, including darker complexions, with a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The appointment

What to expect

  1. i

    Consultation

    Zayda evaluates your skin concerns, medical history and goals and sets the intensity and the series. Consultations are $40. The deposit is non-refundable and is credited toward your treatment.

  2. ii

    Treatment

    The session takes 20 to 30 minutes, and most patients feel mild tingling or warmth as the laser passes.

  3. iii

    Aftercare

    Mild redness and a warm feeling, like a mild sunburn, that subsides within 24 to 48 hours, when the skin may feel dry or tight. Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, keep skin hydrated with gentle products, skip exfoliants, retinoids and actives for several days, let any flaking shed on its own, and avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and hot tubs for 24 to 48 hours.

  4. iv

    Results

    Brighter, clearer skin at 3 to 7 days. Noticeable improvement in texture, tone and pigment at 2 to 4 weeks as collagen builds. Optimal results at 1 to 3 months. Most patients do best with 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, then periodic maintenance with good sun protection.

Candidacy

Is LaseMD Ultra right for you?

You are likely a good candidate if you want to:

  • lighten melasma, sun spots or age spots
  • reduce acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • tighten and firm skin without surgery
  • improve texture, tone and fine lines on sun-damaged or aging skin

Most healthy adults are candidates, including people with deeper skin tones for whom IPL is not suitable. If your concern is diffuse redness rather than pigment, Laser Genesis may be the better laser.

LaseMD Ultra also creates the microchannels used to apply Rejuran salmon DNA, so the two are often planned together.

Cost

What affects the cost of LaseMD Ultra in Pleasanton

The cost depends on the intensity chosen, the area treated, face, neck or body, and the number of sessions in your series, usually 3 to 4. Adding Rejuran changes it too. Zayda gives you the cost of the whole plan at the consultation.

The membership discount on aesthetic treatments applies, and payment plans are available.

  • "I’ve been seeing Zayda for the past few months for LaseMD Ultra and SkinPen microneedling treatments, and the results have been incredible. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my skin’s texture, brightness, and overall appearance, and my pores have never looked smaller. My skin honestly hasn’t felt this healthy and radiant in years."
