LaseMD Ultra vs. IPL
Both LaseMD Ultra and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) are excellent technologies that can deliver impressive results. The best choice depends on your unique skin concerns, goals, and skin type. At our clinic, we’re proud to offer both treatments because they complement each other beautifully.
What Is LaseMD Ultra?
LaseMD Ultra is a non-invasive, advanced skin resurfacing laser treatment designed to address a variety of skin concerns. LASEMD Ultra uses a combination of laser energy and microchanneling technology. The laser penetrates the skin’s surface, targeting pigmentation and stimulating collagen production.
At DermUtopia, the face, neck, chest, and hands are most frequently treated. These are the areas most exposed to the sun and often show the first signs of aging.
What it’s best for:
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Uneven texture and tone
- Early fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild acne scarring
What Is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?
IPL uses broad-spectrum light rather than a single laser wavelength. This light targets pigment and vascular issues, breaking up redness and brown spots to reveal a more even complexion. The light energy absorbed by your skin is converted into heat, which either breaks down unwanted pigmentation or causes the blood vessels to collapse and fade.
At DermUtopia, the face, neck, chest, and hands are most frequently treated.
What it’s best for:
- Redness and broken capillaries (rosacea)
- Brown spots and freckles
- Sun damage
Key Differences
Can They Be Combined?
Absolutely! Many patients benefit from combining both treatments by using IPL to correct redness and LaseMD Ultra to treat pigmentation, improve texture, and stimulate collagen. This combination approach provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation that looks natural and healthy.
Which One Is Right for You?
Choosing between LaseMD Ultra and IPL depends on your skin concerns, tone, and lifestyle. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Dintiman to evaluate your skin and design a personalized plan that may include one or both treatments.
