TABLE OF CONTENTS

When it comes to achieving radiant, youthful skin, choosing the right laser treatment can make all the difference. At Dermablue, we’re proud to offer the Lutronic Ultra™, a non-ablative fractional laser that delivers transformative results for skin resurfacing, pigmentation correction, and more. But how does the Lutronic Ultra™ compare to other lasers on the market? Let’s dive in. 

The Lutronic Ultra™ Advantage 

The Lutronic Ultra™ uses a 1927 nm Thulium laser to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin tone and texture. This gentle yet powerful treatment is ideal for addressing sun damage, fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation with minimal downtime. But it doesn’t operate in a vacuum; it competes with several industry-leading lasers. Here’s how it stacks up. 

 

1. Fraxel® Dual Laser (1550/1927 nm)

  • Purpose: Non-ablative fractional laser for skin resurfacing, pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars. 
  • Competition: Both the Ultra™ and Fraxel Dual use a 1927 nm wavelength for superficial skin issues like sun damage and pigmentation. 
  • Fraxel offers an additional 1550 nm wavelength for deeper collagen remodeling, but this can come with more downtime. 
  • The Ultra™ is designed for faster treatments with less discomfort and recovery time.

     

 2. Clear + Brilliant®

  • Purpose: Gentle fractional laser for early signs of aging and maintaining skin health. 
  • Competition: Clear + Brilliant is less aggressive, making it a great choice for minimal skin concerns. 
  • The Lutronic Ultra™ delivers more robust results for pigmentation, texture, and signs of aging, catering to those seeking a more noticeable transformation. 

 3. Sciton HALO® (Hybrid Fractional Laser)

  • Purpose: Combines ablative (2940 nm) and non-ablative (1470 nm) wavelengths for deeper and superficial skin rejuvenation. 
  • Competition: HALO offers dual-action results but with higher downtime and patient discomfort. 
  • The Ultra™ focuses on non-ablative treatment, providing significant improvements with reduced recovery time and discomfort. 

 4. ICON® 1540 Fractional Laser

  • Purpose: Non-ablative fractional laser for fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. 
  • Competition: ICON uses a 1540 nm wavelength, which is less effective than the 1927 nm wavelength of the Ultra™ for pigmentation and skin tone correction. 
  • The Ultra™ offers faster treatments with enhanced comfort and versatility. 

 5. PicoSure® Pro (755 nm Picosecond Laser)

  • Purpose: Targets pigmentation, skin texture, and tattoo removal using picosecond technology. 
  • Competition: 
  • PicoSure uses pressure waves rather than heat to break down pigment and stimulate collagen. 
  • While PicoSure excels in pigmentation and tattoo removal, the Ultra™ is superior for fractional resurfacing and comprehensive skin rejuvenation. 

 

6. Nordlys™ (Ellipse IPL & Frax 1550)

  • Purpose: Combines IPL for pigmentation and redness with a 1550 nm fractional laser for texture improvement. 
  • Competition: While Nordlys offers a dual-platform approach, the Ultra™’s 1927 nm wavelength is more effective for treating pigmentation and achieving a more even skin tone. 
  • The Ultra™ typically requires fewer sessions and provides a more comfortable experience.

The Lutronic Ultra™ stands out for its advanced technology, minimal downtime, and ability to address a wide range of skin concerns. At Dermablue, we enhance its results by pairing it with complementary treatments like: 

Lutronic Genius RF Microneedling

Botox®

BOTOX® and Dysport are neuromodulators. These types of facial injectables target the muscles responsible for facial expressions. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, they relax these muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive muscle contractions.

Fillers

Cosmetic fillers offer a non-surgical way to enhance facial features and restore youthful volume. Since many visible signs of aging can be traced back to volume loss, fillers can help replace what is lost to help restore a more youthful appearance. We offer the complete line of Juvederm Fillers.

Injectables

Aesthetic injectables are minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that involve injecting various substances beneath the skin to achieve a range of aesthetic goals. They can target aspects of facial aging, addressing concerns like wrinkles and fine lines, loss of facial volume, & uneven skin texture.

CoolSculpting® Elite

CoolSculpting is a proven technology that is safe and effective. It is proven to work extremely well and rivals surgical results with little to no downtime. Cryolipolysis, or freezing fat; gently and effectively reduces unwanted fat by up to 25% or more per session. Freeze fat & tone muscle.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a commonly used cosmetic procedure that utilizes concentrated beams of highly focused light to eradicate hair on various parts of the body. This method targets the hair follicles, damaging them to the extent that hair is unlikely to grow in that spot again.

Laser Resurfacing

Fractional laser resurfacing is the most effective laser treatment available for wrinkle reduction. At Dermablue, we brought the best possible technology for laser resurfacing to Asheville using the CORE CO2 fractional laser. Fractional laser resurfacing is the most effective laser treatment.
