In recent years, non-surgical skin treatments have soared in popularity, especially those promising radiant, youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime. One standout among these treatments must be the Lutronic Ultra “Baby Face” treatment, a unique laser skin rejuvenation technique known for its effectiveness in delivering a smooth, glowing complexion. Dubbed the “Baby Face” treatment for its ability to mimic the fresh, soft appearance of youthful skin, it has become a favourite amongst our patients looking to improve their skin’s texture and tone.
In this blog, we will explain this treatment and help you to understand what makes the Lutronic Ultra treatment so special.
What Is the Lutronic Ultra “Baby Face” Treatment?
The Lutronic Ultra “Baby Face” treatment uses a non-ablative thulium laser to target specific layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and accelerating cell turnover. This advanced treatment is part of the LaseMD Ultra system by Lutronic, a company renowned for its innovative aesthetic technology. We took a long time to decide on purchasing this machine having researched many companies. Our aim was to have a treatment that can target a multitude of conditions with little down time and be affordable for our patients who want to invest in their skin.
The term “Baby Face” is no accident. The treatment's unique approach helps to reveal fresh skin beneath the surface, often resulting in a soft, dewy, and rejuvenated complexion. Unlike traditional ablative lasers that remove layers of skin (often requiring significant downtime), this non-ablative approach is gentler, making it perfect for people who want to see fast results without long recovery times.
The Lutronic Ultra uses 1927 nm thulium laser technology to precisely treat the outer layer of the skin, also known as the epidermis. This specific wavelength is highly effective at creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, which allows it to target common skin concerns like pigmentation, fine lines, and texture irregularities. The treatment initiates a natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and renewal, which leads to a more even, radiant skin tone over time. An added benefit of this technology is that it allows for enhanced absorption of skincare ingredients. When combined with specific serums during or after the procedure, the skin can absorb these products more deeply, amplifying the results. We choose the right serum according to your concern for example we have a regime for anti-ageing, rosacea, pigmentation and acne.
Here are a few key benefits that make it stand out:
Minimal Downtime: Unlike more intensive laser treatments, the Lutronic Ultra “Baby Face” procedure has minimal downtime. Many patients experience only mild redness that resolves within 24-48 hours, making it easy to return to daily activities quickly.
Improves Multiple Skin Concerns: The treatment is highly versatile, addressing issues such as pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. It’s especially effective at evening out skin tone and texture.
Safe for All Skin Types: While some lasers are best suited for lighter skin tones, the Lutronic Ultra treatment is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker complexions, when administered by a trained medical professional.
Non-Invasive and Painless: This laser treatment is non-invasive and typically pain-free, with only a slight warmth or tingling sensation during the procedure however, we use numbing cream pre-treatment to make it comfortable.
Quick Treatment Time: The procedure itself is relatively short, usually completed within 15-30 minutes, making it convenient for people with busy schedules. We also add our light therapy to this treatment.
What to Expect During and After the Treatment
Before the treatment begins, your skin will be cleansed and prepared. A numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort, although many patients find the treatment relatively painless without it. The laser device is then gently applied to the skin, creating microscopic channels that trigger the skin’s natural healing process. Many people describe the sensation as a mild warmth or tingling. Immediately after the treatment, the skin might appear pink or slightly flushed, like a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a day or two. Over the next few days, you might notice some mild flakiness as the skin renews itself, but this is usually minimal. The texture of your skin over the post treatment week can be described as the feeling of sandpaper however, nobody can see this texture it is just how it feels.
How Many Sessions Are Recommended?
The number of sessions needed depends on individual skin concerns and goals. While some people see visible improvements after just one session, others may benefit from a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. A typical treatment plan often consists of 3-6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, although Laura will complete a full skin analysis and will tailor a plan based on your specific needs.
Results You Can Expect
Many patients report seeing a noticeable improvement in their skin’s tone and texture after just one treatment. Over time, and with multiple sessions, the Lutronic Ultra “Baby Face” treatment can help:
Reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots
Minimise fine lines and wrinkles
Even out skin tone and improve overall radiance
Refine skin texture, making pores less noticeable
Increase skin elasticity and firmness
Help with acne
Post-Treatment Care
To maximise the benefits and protect the skin as it heals, post-treatment care is essential. Here are some key aftercare steps:
Use Gentle Skincare: Stick to mild cleansers and avoid any harsh exfoliants for at least a week.
Hydrate: Keep your skin well-moisturised to support the healing process.
Sun Protection: Since the skin will be more sensitive, it’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50 and avoid direct sun exposure.
