What the LaseMD Ultra treats
Dullness and uneven tone
Helps restore a brighter, more radiant and even-looking complexion.
Fine lines and early ageing
Encourages collagen renewal to improve the appearance of early signs of ageing.
Sun damage and superficial pigmentation
Helps reduce the appearance of surface pigmentation and sun damage.
Texture and superficial scarring
Refines uneven texture and improves the appearance of superficial scars.
Overall skin quality and glow
Refreshes the skin for a smoother, healthier-looking glow.
How it works
By stimulating controlled micro-injury and collagen renewal — and, optionally, driving in active serums via laser-assisted delivery — the LaseMD Ultra refreshes the skin progressively. It is gentle enough for a "lunchtime" rejuvenation yet adjustable for more intensive treatment.
What to expect during treatment
A short course is usual for cumulative results. Numbing cream is applied beforehand; the treatment feels warm with a mild prickling sensation, eased by cooling.
Downtime and aftercare
Downtime is short — typically redness and a sandpaper texture for one to three days, followed by light flaking. Sun protection is essential during recovery.
Short downtime
Expect redness and a sandpaper-like skin texture for one to three days after treatment, followed by light flaking.
Sun protection
Diligent sun protection is essential during recovery.
When will I see results?
Skin often looks brighter within a week, with texture and firmness improving over subsequent weeks as collagen rebuilds. A course gives the most noticeable, lasting change.

Suitability and skin of colour
Non-ablative lasers are generally better tolerated across skin tones than ablative options, but settings still need to be matched to your skin to avoid pigment change. Dr Phillips's experience with skin of colour informs every parameter choice.

Why choose Dr Derrick Phillips for UltraClear in London
The UltraClear's versatility is only an advantage in experienced hands — the same device can deliver a featherlight polish or a deeper resurfacing, and choosing correctly is a clinical decision. As a Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Phillips diagnoses the underlying concern first, sets the laser to match, and positions UltraClear within a wider plan for skin health rather than offering it as a one-size-fits-all treatment. His particular expertise in treating skin of colour informs every parameter choice.
FAQs
Is the LaseMD Ultra better than COâ‚‚ laser?
Neither is “better” — they do different jobs. LaseMD Ultra rejuvenates with minimal downtime; COâ‚‚ is more intensive for deep scarring and wrinkles. Dr Phillips matches the laser to your goal.
How much downtime does LaseMD Ultra need?
Usually one to three days of redness and light flaking.
What is laser-assisted drug delivery?
The laser’s micro-channels let active skincare ingredients penetrate more deeply, boosting their effect — the basis of the BabyFace facial.
How many sessions will I need?
A short course is typical for visible, lasting rejuvenation; the number is confirmed at consultation.
Is LaseMD Ultra suitable for darker skin?
Generally yes, with appropriately adjusted settings following assessment.
