LaseMD Ultra™

LaseMD Ultra is used at BioPlus to treat pigmentation, melasma, sun damage, actinic keratosis (precancerous sun-damaged lesions), uneven skin tone, fine lines, enlarged pores, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and overall skin texture. It can also be used on the scalp to support hair restoration treatments.

LaseMD Ultra is a 1927nm thulium fractional laser, which is precisely tuned to the very upper layers of the skin. Its 200-micron maximum penetration depth targets surface pigment and texture without disrupting the deeper dermis, which makes it gentler and safer across all skin tones. The platform also features a patented Cosmeceutical Delivery System (CDS) that uses laser-created micro-channels to infuse active ingredients like tranexamic acid directly into the skin during the same session.

Yes. LaseMD Ultra is safe and effective across the full range of Fitzpatrick skin types, including medium and darker skin tones. The non-ablative 1927nm thulium wavelength is highly absorbed by surface water in the skin and minimises heat transfer to surrounding tissue, which significantly lowers the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to deeper or ablative lasers.

Both LaseMD Ultra and NouvaDerm are 1927nm thulium fractional lasers and BioPlus uses both. LaseMD Ultra by Cynosure Lutronic features a Cosmeceutical Delivery System designed for active ingredient infusion such as tranexamic acid for melasma. NouvaDerm by WONTECH is a newer generation thulium platform with its own treatment protocols. During your consultation, our medical team will determine which platform delivers the best outcome for your specific case.

Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, prickly feeling as the laser passes over the skin. Treatments range from mild to more intensive depending on your goals and skin type. For more aggressive settings, a topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand. The integrated rolling delivery system keeps the experience smooth and consistent across the treatment area.

A full-face session typically takes 30 to 45 minutes including numbing time, laser delivery, and the cosmeceutical infusion step. Larger areas such as the décolletage or scalp may take longer.

Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience a sandpaper-like skin texture and mild redness for 1 to 3 days, followed by light flaking as the surface skin renews. Makeup can typically be applied 24 hours after treatment. Your practitioner will provide a clear post-treatment care plan.

Most patients see meaningful improvement after a single session, with optimal results achieved in a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Melasma and stubborn pigmentation often benefit from ongoing maintenance treatments. Your medical team will build a personalised plan during your consultation.

The Cosmeceutical Delivery System is a patented feature of LaseMD Ultra that uses the laser's micro-channels as a delivery pathway for topical active ingredients. After the laser pass, your practitioner applies a targeted ampoule, such as tranexamic acid for melasma, vitamin C for brightening, or other ingredients depending on your concern. The active ingredient penetrates deeper than it would through intact skin, multiplying the effect of the treatment.
