LaseMD Laser Skin Resurfacing
LaseMD Laser Skin Resurfacing
LaseMD is a revolutionary non-ablative fractional laser treatment that rejuvenates your skin from within. Using advanced thulium laser technology, LaseMD creates thousands of microscopic microchannels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response to boost collagen and elastin production.
Unlike traditional ablative lasers that remove the entire surface of the skin, LaseMD targets the deeper layers whilst leaving the surface intact. This intelligent approach delivers remarkable results with minimal downtime, making it ideal for busy professionals who want transformative skin improvements without lengthy recovery periods.
LaseMD is exceptionally versatile and can address a wide range of skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, uneven skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, and dull complexion. The treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions.
What sets LaseMD apart is its customisability. During your consultation, Dr Parekh will assess your skin concerns and tailor the treatment intensity to your specific needs and desired outcomes. Whether you’re seeking a gentle refresh or more intensive resurfacing, LaseMD can be adjusted to deliver optimal results for your unique skin.
The treatment also enhances the penetration of medical-grade serums containing powerful ingredients such as vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and retinol. These active ingredients are delivered deep into the skin through the laser-created microchannels, maximising their efficacy and accelerating your skin’s transformation.
At Avanti Aesthetics, we offer LaseMD treatments not only for the face but also for the neck, chest, and hands; areas that often show the earliest signs of ageing and sun damage. This comprehensive approach ensures harmonious rejuvenation across all visible areas.
Book in for a consultation and Dr Parekh will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a bespoke treatment plan to help you achieve the healthy, radiant complexion you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a treatment session?
Your LaseMD treatment begins with thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. If desired, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied 20-30 minutes beforehand to maximise comfort.
Once your skin is prepared, Dr Parekh or one of our trained practitioners will use the LaseMD handpiece to deliver precise laser energy across the treatment area. You’ll feel a warm, tingling sensation as the laser creates microscopic microchannels in your skin. Cooling air is provided throughout to keep you comfortable.
Following the laser treatment, medical-grade serums containing active ingredients are applied to penetrate deeply through the microchannels, maximising their effectiveness. Finally, a soothing moisturiser and SPF are applied to protect your newly treated skin.
After your session, your skin will appear flushed similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and a post-treatment skincare kit to support optimal healing and results.
What is LaseMD and how does it work?
LaseMD is an advanced non-ablative fractional laser that uses thulium technology to rejuvenate skin from within. The laser creates thousands of microscopic channels in the deeper layers of your skin whilst leaving the surface intact. This controlled micro-injury stimulates your body’s natural healing response, triggering increased production of collagen and elastin; the essential proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful. The microchannels also allow medical-grade serums to penetrate far deeper than they could through topical application alone, enhancing treatment efficacy.
How long does the treatment take?
LaseMD treatments typically take between 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the intensity level chosen. Facial treatments are usually completed within 20-30 minutes, making it an excellent “lunchtime procedure” for busy professionals.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice an immediate improvement in skin brightness and radiance following their first treatment. However, the most significant results develop progressively over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases and skin cell turnover accelerates. Optimal results are typically visible 4-6 weeks after treatment, with continued improvement for up to 6 months.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe LaseMD as producing mild to moderate discomfort, with a warm, prickling, or tingling sensation during treatment. The sensation is generally well-tolerated, and many patients undergo treatment without anaesthetic. For those with sensitive skin or lower pain tolerance, topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort significantly.
How long do the results last?
LaseMD results typically last between 6-12 months, with some patients experiencing benefits for up to a year or longer with proper skincare maintenance and sun protection. The longevity of results depends on individual skin characteristics, lifestyle factors, and adherence to a quality skincare regimen. Regular maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help sustain your results long-term
Are there any side effects?
LaseMD is a very safe treatment with minimal side effects. Immediately following treatment, you’ll experience redness and warmth similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Over the next 3-7 days, your skin may feel dry and develop a light sandpaper-like texture as the treated skin naturally exfoliates. Some patients experience mild swelling, particularly around the eyes, which resolves within a day. These are all normal, expected responses as your skin renews itself.
What should I do before the treatment?
In the weeks leading up to your LaseMD treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure and always wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliating acids, and other potentially irritating skincare products for 3-5 days before your appointment. If you have a history of cold sores, please inform Dr Parekh as prophylactic antiviral medication may be recommended. Arrive to your appointment with clean skin, free from makeup and skincare products.
Can I return to normal activities after the treatment?
Yes, you can resume most normal activities immediately following your LaseMD treatment. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure (saunas, steam rooms, hot baths), and direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours post-treatment. You may apply makeup 24 hours after your session. It’s essential to keep your skin well-moisturised and protected with SPF during the healing period.
Who is an ideal candidate for this treatment?
LaseMD is suitable for nearly everyone seeking skin rejuvenation, regardless of skin type or tone. Ideal candidates include those looking to address sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, uneven skin texture and tone, enlarged pores, or dull complexion. The treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who want significant results with minimal downtime. LaseMD is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones. During your consultation, Dr Parekh will assess your skin and determine if LaseMD is the right treatment to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
