Winter might not seem like the season to think about summer skin, but it’s actually the perfect time to invest in treatments that deliver long-term results. It’s all about helping you get ahead of the game.
The UltraMD Laser kickstarts your skin transformation before the warmer months arrive. This advanced laser treatment is designed to refresh and rejuvenate, tackling concerns like pigmentation, sun damage, f ine lines and uneven texture. The best part? You don’t need to wait months to see changes, with many clients noticing a difference after just one session.
UltraMD is a game changer for those looking to improve their skin without the pain or downtime associated with older laser treatments. Numbing cream is applied beforehand, making the experience comfortable, with some clients finding it quite a relaxing way to spend their lunch break.
Post-treatment, skin may be slightly red with a subtle sandpaper-like texture, but within days, the old skin naturally sheds, unveiling a refreshed and glowing complexion. Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers that require weeks of recovery, UltraMD creates tiny thermal zones in the skin that trigger natural renewal.
This process increases permeability with minimal disruption, making it an effective treatment for reducing pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and even conditions like actinic keratosis, lentigos, and freckles.
Using a gentle rolling system, UltraMD treats the face, neck and décolletage in as little as five to twenty minutes, depending on the area. Results are visible almost instantly, with continued improvement over a course of three to six treatments. It can also be paired with other advanced technologies for even greater skin rejuvenation, combining UltraMD with Secret RF which enhances collagen production, while pairing it with IPL Veloce targets pigmentation at a deeper level.
Before and after.
One of the biggest advantages of UltraMD is its versatility. It’s suitable for all skin types and can be used year-round, unlike many other lasers.
With its ability to deliver powerful results with minimal downtime, it’s quickly becoming the go-to treatment for anyone serious about achieving their best skin yet before next summer.
Timing is everything when it comes to skin treatments. During winter, UV exposure is lower, which means your skin can heal more effectively post-treatment. Starting these treatments around May will mean that by the time summer rolls around, you’ll be glowing with confidence, not just relying on makeup to cover imperfections.
Each session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area, and while a single session can deliver noticeable improvements, a series of three treatments is recommended for the best results.
Investing in your skin now means you’re allowing your skin the time it needs to renew, repair and truly transform. You’ll be stepping into summer with a fresh, luminous complexion. Starting your UltraMD journey this winter will give your skin the boost it deserves.

Clients often ask, what is one thing I can do to improve my skin? The most obvious is sunblock. Sun protection is the number one thing you must do. But, of course, I can never give an answer for just one treatment.
There are so many skincare options out there today, with clinics promising all sorts of treatments to turn back the clock. Good skin is a result of a combination of those treatments, and taking care of it is much like going to the gym. Consistency over a long period of time is the only way you really see results.
Starting with active skincare will make a difference, but it will take time. For a quicker fix, in-clinic needling and peels will produce fast results, but laser treatments will work even faster.
No one wants pain or downtime and, finally, the laser gods have listened. The recent release of the amazing Ultra MD laser means there’s no pain (with numbing cream applied prior, you could almost fall asleep), skin is only a little flushed when you leave, and it feels a bit like fine sandpaper for about a week. All much more manageable than the old laser treatments. Prior to machines like Ultra, conventional resurfacing lasers would cause pain with days or weeks of downtime to recover.
With Ultra, when the old skin sheds, the new layer is much brighter, smoother and fresher, and after a course of three to six treatments, you will have less pigment, sun damage and fine lines.
The way it works is that it creates tiny thermal zones in the skin, prompting the body to quickly generate new tissue. It increases permeability with minimal mechanical disruption to the outermost layer of skin and also treats mild to moderate cases of actinic keratosis, benign pigmented lesions, lentigos, and freckles across the face, neck and décolletage.
A roller system is used, gently gliding over the skin, which takes as little as five minutes to 20 minutes, depending on the surface area and produces instant results for pigment and sun damage, tone and texture.
The Ultra can be combined with other machines as well to get incredible results. Using the Secret RF and Ultra MD for a double whammy treatment at one time can cause the most amazing skin rejuvenation. And combining the IPL Veloce and the Ultra MD treats pigmentation at a deeper level.
Unlike other laser treatments, the Ultra can be used on any skin type at any time of year.
There’s nothing else quite like it being used in clinics at the moment. So, when anyone asks me what is the number one treatment that will make a difference, right now I would say Ultra MD is the one.
