LaseMD Ultra &
LaseMD Thulium Laser

Refine, Renew, and Resurface with Precision Laser Technology

At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center in Cornelius, NC, we proudly offer LaseMD Ultra and LaseMD—two of the most advanced non-ablative thulium laser treatments available today. Whether you're targeting sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, or skin texture, these treatments use fractionated thulium laser energy to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out—with little to no downtime.

Serving patients across the Lake Norman area, including Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, and Charlotte, our clinic is led by Dr. Minni Saluja, a cosmetic dermatologist with deep experience in laser technology. These are not one-size-fits-all lasers—they are precision treatments tailored to your skin and goals.

What Is LaseMD Ultra and How Is It Different from LaseMD?

LaseMD Ultra

The newest generation of the LaseMD platform, offering higher power and greater coverage for enhanced resurfacing and pigment correction. It allows for faster treatments with more customizable settings and is ideal for patients who want more visible results in fewer sessions.

LaseMD (Original)

A gentler thulium laser option, excellent for early intervention and maintenance. It is especially well-suited for patients with melanin-rich skin, minimal downtime goals, or those new to fractional laser treatments.

Both systems use thulium wavelength energy (1927 nm) to resurface the upper layers of skin and create controlled channels for collagen stimulation, pigment clearance, and topical product absorption.

Why Patients Love Thulium Laser Technology

Non-Ablative Precision

Targets sun-damaged or pigmented skin without breaking the surface barrier, offering a safer experience for all skin types.

Boosts Collagen and Elasticity

Stimulates new collagen and elastin to soften fine lines and firm the skin over time.

Treats a Broad Range of Skin Concerns

From melasma and freckles to crepey skin and uneven tone, thulium laser energy is versatile and customizable.

Minimal Downtime with Impressive Results

Expect a mild pink glow post-treatment and a light “sandpaper” feel for several days—makeup can often be worn within 24 hours.

Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots

Melasma and uneven skin tone

Fine lines and skin laxity

Rough or uneven texture

What to Expect During and After Treatment

After a consultation to determine the ideal settings for your skin, Dr. Saluja or a certified provider will perform your laser session using either LaseMD Ultra or LaseMD, depending on your goals.

You’ll feel a warm, tingling sensation during the treatment. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, and feel dry or gritty for several days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there downtime with LaseMD Ultra or LaseMD?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness and skin roughness ("gritty" feel) for 3–5 days. Makeup can typically be worn within 24 hours.

Is it painful?

Most patients tolerate treatment well with topical numbing. LaseMD Ultra is more intense than the original LaseMD, so sensations may vary slightly depending on your chosen device.

How many treatments will I need?

You may see improvement after one session, but a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for best results.

Can this be done on darker skin tones?

es. LaseMD and LaseMD Ultra are safe and customizable for all skin types, including melanin-rich skin. We adjust energy and density to protect skin while delivering results.
