How Does LaseMD™ Work?
LaseMD, a non-ablative,1927-wavelength fractional laser, is a unique type of laser treatment that doesn’t burn away the top layer of the skin. Instead, it uses laser energy to create tiny holes, or microchannels, in your skin. This controlled damage triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother and develops a youthful appearance.
Unlike more aggressive laser resurfacing treatments, LaseMD doesn’t remove the entire skin’s surface. This means less downtime and a lower risk of side effects. By focusing on the deeper dermal layer LaseMD can effectively address several skin concerns without causing significant damage.
A 20-to-30-minute session greatly reduces visible signs of aging. We can tailor the LaseMD treatment to your specific needs, based on your skin type, skin tone, and what you want to achieve.
Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Right for Me?
Almost anyone with cosmetic skin concerns can be eligible for LEA LaseGlo treatments. The laser technology type used is safe for all skin types and colors.
Candidates for laser skin treatment also include people who have tanned skin. This treatment is an option for improving your skin’s texture and achieving a brighter skin tone.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
We recommend a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for best results. A standard treatment plan is an average of three sessions with approximately four weeks in between.
When Will I See Results & How Long Will They Last?
You’ll notice the biggest difference in your skin about six months after your LaseMD UltraGLO™ treatment, as your skin produces more collagen and elastin. The results can last for about a year.
Daily use of a good moisturizer and sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher will help keep your skin looking great for longer.
Your LEA LaseGlo Consultation
The initial consultation is the first step in the laser treatment process. It is critical because it allows you and Dr. Ho Taghva to work together to address your concerns and develop an appropriate treatment plan. She’ll ask you several questions during your LaseGlo consultation to learn more about your skin concerns and expectations.
To better understand your skin’s overall health, your Newport Beach skin care specialist will examine your areas of concern. Be prepared to talk about your lifestyle habits, such as if you use any sun protection products and if you smoke or tan. This will determine the source of your skin issues and help you find ways to avoid future problems.
At this step, you will also discuss how many treatment sessions will likely be necessary to achieve your cosmetic goals. It is common to have a series of sessions to achieve the best results.
We’ll take photos of your trouble spots and customize a healing plan so you can see the improvements for yourself at the end of your aesthetic journey. Don’t be afraid to raise questions or concerns during your discussion – Dr. Ho Taghva will happily answer them.
Aftercare and Healing
Most patients are thrilled to notice positive effects right after their first treatment session. After the procedure, you can go back to your daily routine immediately. Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours and keep your skin moisturized and protected from the sun. That’s about it!
Most people can have the procedure on their lunch break and immediately return to work because the non-ablative laser is just that gentle. On the other hand, ablative lasers can require several weeks of downtime.
After your LaseMD treatment, you might experience some redness. The amount of redness depends on which type of LaseMD you had:
- LaseMD UltraGLO™ (our preferred option): A bit of redness like a mild sunburn.
- LaseMD Refine™: Redness for a few days and some light flaking.
- LaseMD ULTRA™: Redness for up to a week and some flaking. Don’t pick at the flakes.
After your session, we’ll give you detailed recovery instructions on how to practice proper skin care. It is important to follow the instructions carefully to help ensure the best results after the healing process.
How to Prepare for LEA LaseGlo
Before your LaseMD treatment, here’s what you should do:
- Stay out of the sun and don’t tan for at least a few weeks.
- Avoid using products like retinol, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid for a week before treatment.
- If you’re taking isotretinoin acne medication, stop using it for at least six months before your treatment.
- If you get cold sores, take antiviral medication before and after the treatment.
- On the day of your treatment, wash your face and don’t wear any makeup, lotion, or sunscreen.
