What to Expect During your Treatment?

Depending on your treatment goals, your doctor may apply numbing cream prior to your session.
You will feel some heat and tingling as the laser is passed over the skin. The number of passes and
procedure time will depend on the depth of the treatment, lasting anywhere from 6-20 minutes.
You will experience some redness immediately after receiving the treatment. The redness should subside by the following day, when you can apply makeup. You will see optimal results within 2-5 days, but healing time can last anywhere from 1-6 days, de-pending on the depth of treatment. This treatment is specic to each person and is customized to your skin type and personal skin goals.

Vitamin C (VC)

Brightening, Anti-aging

Scorbutic Acid, also known as Vitamin C, is one of the strongest natural-ly occurring antioxidants that encourages younger, healthier skin by promoting healthy collagen structures. It also helps to rejuvenate the appearance of photo- aged and photo-damaged skin.

Vitamin A (VA)

Wrinkles

Vitamin A , or more specically, Cretin Acid, works naturally to improve he appearance of aging skin. It increases cell turnover, allowing new cells to emerge. Cretin Acid curbs the breakdown of collagen to help decelerate the formation of wrinkles, as well as the production of mela-nin, which causes uneven pigmentation in the skin.

Tranexamic Acid (TA)

Brighten Skin, Treat Redness, Manage Melasma

Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic compound known to have skin lighten-ing eects, particularly for hyper-pigmentation caused by excessive sun exposure. Studies have shown Tranexamic Acid to be eective in the treatment of melasma.

Resveratrol (RS)

Lighten Skin, Tone Anti-aging

Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that helps to impede skin aging caused by oxidative stress. It attacks free radicals in the skin and works to mitigate collagen loss that is induced by free radical activity. When incorporated into a stabilized topical formulation, Resveratrol can eectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

LASEMD BIO CELLULOSE CREAM MASK

This specially formulated 2 layer mask helps to cool and calm your skin. The natural coconut based cream mask pack is excellent for after treatments and gentle enough to be used daily to restore moisture to the skin.

I love the cooling mask. My skin felt hydrat-
ed and renewed as I left my doctor’s oce. I
have tried all of the serums, and the results
have been incredible! I’m telling all of my
friends to get The LaseMD Experience.”
-Gail Andover,MA.
