Achieving a flawless, glowing complexion is now more accessible than ever with the revolutionary LaseMD treatment. Whether you are looking to address pigmentation, fine lines, or simply want to revive dull, tired skin, LaseMD offers a cutting-edge solution with minimal downtime. As a highly established and trusted name in cosmetic treatments, Butterfly Aesthetics, located in the heart of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, is proud to offer this advanced laser therapy to help you achieve your ultimate skin goals.

What is LaseMD and How Does It Work?

LaseMD is an innovative, non-ablative fractional Thulium laser designed to dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. Unlike traditional ablative lasers that remove the top layer of skin, LaseMD works by creating thousands of microscopic channels deep within the epidermal and dermal layers without damaging the skin's surface.

This sophisticated process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of fresh collagen and elastin. Furthermore, these micro-channels act as a delivery system. During your treatment at Butterfly Aesthetics, bespoke, clinical-grade serums (packed with potent ingredients like Vitamin C, Retinol, or Tranexamic Acid) can be applied directly to the skin. The laser-created channels allow these powerful nanoparticles to penetrate deeply, maximising their absorption and delivering unparalleled rejuvenation from the inside out.

Features and Benefits

Choosing LaseMD at Butterfly Aesthetics comes with a wealth of advantages tailored to your unique skin profile.
 
Key Features:
 
  • Customisable Intensity: The treatment can be tailored precisely to your skin type and concerns, ranging from a mild "lunchtime facial" glow to a more intensive resurfacing treatment.
  • Non-Ablative Technology: Leaves the surface of the skin intact, making it a safer option for a wider variety of skin tones and types throughout the year.
  • Optimised Serum Delivery: Pairs advanced laser technology with exclusive cosmeceutical ampoules for dual-action results.
  • Quick and Convenient: A typical session takes just 20 to 30 minutes, fitting seamlessly into a busy schedule.
 

Transformative Benefits

 
  • Brighter, Luminous Skin: Effectively clears away dullness, leaving you with a signature, radiant glow.
  • Pigmentation Correction: Targets and fades sun damage, freckles, melasma, and age spots for a more even skin tone.
  • Refined Texture: Smooths rough patches and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
  • Anti-Ageing Power: Softens fine lines and wrinkles by promoting long-term collagen synthesis.
  • Minimal Downtime: Experience mild redness (similar to a light sunburn) that typically subsides within a few hours to a day, allowing you to return to your normal routine quickly.
 

Complementary Treatments

To maximise your results, LaseMD can be beautifully paired with other premium aesthetic procedures offered by the expert practitioners at Butterfly Aesthetics. Combining LaseMD with injectable skin boosters, such as Profhilo, provides profound deep-tissue hydration that perfectly complements the surface resurfacing of the laser. Additionally, anti-wrinkle injections or targeted dermal fillers can address dynamic lines and volume loss, creating a comprehensive, full-face rejuvenation. For those looking to accelerate the healing process and further soothe the skin post-laser, a session of LED Light Therapy is an excellent, calming add-on.

What is the difference between LaseMD and Photofabulous?

We offer both these highly sought after skin rejuvenation treatments at Butterfly Aesthetics. They may both be laser treatments for your skin but they work very differently. 

LaseMD

LaseMD is suitable for all skin types, all year round, offering tailored solutions for various skin concerns. It is a fractional, non-ablative laser often used for superficial pigment, texture, fine lines and assisted topical active ingredient delivery of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Tranexamic Acid. These active ingredients are introduced into the microchannels created by the laser and you continue to apply them topically at home whilst the channels are open.
 
  • Baby Face :  Targets enlarged pores, excess sebum production, uneven skin texture and enhances overall complexion
  • Time Correction:  Addresses fine lines, rough skin, loss of elasticity while restoring skin brightness and reducing photoaging.
  • MelaBright: Treats melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and diffuse or localised pigmented lesions
  • Keralase:  A unique treatment designed to rejuvenate the scalp, improve hair health and promote the appearance of thicker, healthier hair.
 

Photofabulous

Photofabulous is a combination treatment of IPL and ResurFX (a non-ablative fractional laser). This creates very superficial fractional thermal zones in the epidermis. 
Photofabulous targets:
 
  • Pigment
  • Haemaglobin (redness/telangiectasia/threadveins/facial flushing/erythema/rosacea)
  • Texture - pores, fine lines and dermal remodelling.  Photofabulous implies the synergy of tone (IPL) and texture (ResurFX) on one session.
  • Photofabulous implies the synergy of tone (IPL) and texture (ResurFX) on one session.

Downtime/Recovery

LaseMD often involves milder downtime (redness, "sandpaper feeling" to the skin, mild flaking at 2-5 days. Pigment may darken before shedding. 
 
Photofabulous: Dependent on settings and protocol - the IPL can cause crusting/darkening of pigment lesions and transient redness.  ResurFX can cause redness and swelling with a few days of textural changes.
