Everything you need to know about the low-downtime thulium laser at PH Med — how it works, what it treats, what your visit feels like, and how it fits with XERF.
LaseMD ULTRA is a fractional 1927nm thulium laser — a resurfacing technology that creates thousands of microscopic treatment columns in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Those micro-columns trigger your skin’s own repair cascade: damaged, pigmented cells are shed and replaced with fresh tissue, and collagen production is stimulated below the surface.
The result is brighter, smoother, more even skin — with a fraction of the downtime of traditional resurfacing lasers. It’s FDA-cleared, works on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI), and a full-face treatment takes about fifteen minutes.
LaseMD ULTRA is one of the most versatile tools in the practice because it addresses the concerns almost everyone has by their 30s and 40s:
They answer different questions. LaseMD ULTRA works on the surface — pigment, texture, brightness. XERF works on structure — tightening the deeper layers, down to the SMAS. Many of the best outcomes at PH Med come from using them together in a stacked protocol.
Every LaseMD ULTRA treatment at PH Med is performed directly by Dr. Bui — not delegated to a technician. Energy, depth, and density are calibrated to your skin type and your specific concerns, not run from a one-size-fits-all preset. That’s also why the treatment is safe across all skin tones, including darker Fitzpatrick types that many laser practices decline to treat.
Most patients see visible improvement after 1–2 sessions; a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, depending on the concern.
Numbing cream is applied first, and most patients describe only warmth and tingling — LaseMD ULTRA is among the most tolerable laser treatments available.
Little to none. Expect mild redness for 1–3 days and light micro-peeling on days 2–4; most people return to normal activities the same day.
Yes. The 1927nm thulium wavelength is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, I through VI.
Yes — LaseMD ULTRA pairs naturally with XERF in a stacked plan: surface renewal from the laser, structural tightening from RF, sequenced by Dr. Bui.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Bui to see if LaseMD ULTRA is right for your skin — or how it fits into a stacked protocol.
