Correcting Summer Damage with Lutronic Ultra

As summer fades away and cooler days (and pumpkin spice!) start to appear, many of us are left with unwanted reminders of our fun in the sun. Whether it's hyperpigmentation, fine lines, darkened acne scars, or all of the above, it’s no secret that summer's harsh UV rays can take a toll on our skin. Fortunately, there's a solution: Lutronic Ultra, a cutting-edge laser treatment that can help correct summer damage and leave your skin looking smoother, brighter, and more radiant.

Why Fall is the Ideal Time for Lutronic Ultra


Fall is the perfect season to start Lutronic Ultra treatments, for several reasons:

  1. Less Exposure to Light: With the days getting shorter and the sun's rays less intense, your skin will be exposed to less UV radiation, allowing the treatment area to heal more efficiently.
  2. Correcting Summer Damage: Lutronic Ultra is specifically designed to target and correct the damage caused by summer's harsh sun, including hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars.
  3. Improved Skin Texture: The treatment stimulates collagen production, which can help improve skin texture, reducing the appearance of pores and leaving your skin looking more even-toned and youthful.
  4. Enhanced Results: By undergoing treatment in the fall, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the results before the next summer season rolls around.


What to Expect from Lutronic Ultra


Lutronic Ultra is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses non-ablative targeted energy to improve specific skin concerns. The procedure is relatively quick, taking around 30-60 minutes to complete, and is accompanied by minimal discomfort with no physical injury to the skin. It’s suitable for all skin types and has little to no downtime!


During the treatment, the laser emits high-intensity pulses of light that penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting cell turnover. This process helps to:

  1. Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  2. Fade age spots and hyperpigmentation
  3. Improve skin texture and tone
  4. Minimize the appearance of acne scars and melasma


If you're looking to correct the damage caused by summer's harsh sun, Lutronic Ultra might be the solution for you. With its ability to target specific skin concerns, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture, this cutting-edge treatment is the ideal solution for achieving smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.

3. Address Summer Damage

Summer's sun, fun, and heat can leave behind:

  1. Hyperpigmentation
  2. Fine lines and wrinkles
  3. Acne scars

These can be improved several ways, including:

  1. Chemical peels or laser treatments to address your specific skin concerns
  2. A consistent skincare routine to maintain results


4. Exfoliate Effectively

Exfoliation is key in the fall, but be gentle! Over-exfoliating, especially with physical exfoliants, can lead to irritation and dryness. Try:

  1. Chemical exfoliants containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) for more gentle and controlled exfoliation
  2. Physical exfoliants like gentle scrubs (none of that apricot business!) or brushes


5. Hydrate Your Skin from the Inside Out

Your skin is actually your largest organ, so it’s important to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and plump. Aim for at least 8 cups (64 oz) daily!

Sculptra and Long-Term Skin Maintenance

February 15, 2025
The Power of Patience: Why Sculptra Is an Investment in Your Skin’s Future In a world where instant gratification is often the norm, it can be hard to resist the temptation of treatments that promise quick, visible results. But when it comes to your skin, sometimes the best outcomes come from a little patience and planning. That’s where Sculptra shines. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that offer immediate results, Sculptra works gradually, offering long-lasting rejuvenation by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. If you’re looking for a treatment that enhances your skin’s future health and youthful appearance, Sculptra could be the perfect fit. Sculptra: A Gradual Investment in Your Skin Sculptra is not a quick fix—it’s a biostimulator that works by activating your body’s fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. Over time, as these cells produce more collagen, your skin’s texture improves, volume is restored, and wrinkles and sagging are visibly reduced. This natural process leads to a refreshed, youthful appearance that continues to improve over the course of several months. While dermal fillers may give you immediate volume and smoothness, Sculptra addresses the root cause of aging: collagen loss. With Sculptra , the effects are subtle and build gradually, creating a more natural look. Unlike the instant plumpness offered by other treatments, Sculptra’s benefits unfold over time, resulting in a more sustainable and long-term transformation. Plus, the results can last up to two years, making it a smart investment in your skin's future. A Long-Term Approach to Skin Rejuvenation Think of Sculptra as a way to “future-proof” your skin. The series of treatments are spaced out over weeks, allowing the collagen-stimulating effects to develop and settle in, helping you maintain a natural, youthful look without drastic changes. This gradual approach not only avoids the overly “done” look but also ensures that your results are more harmonious and sustainable. In essence, you’re investing in a younger, healthier version of yourself for the years to come. But Sculptra isn’t the only way to ensure long-term skin health. A daily skincare regimen focused on boosting collagen production and protecting your skin is essential. For example, sunscreen should be your skin’s best friend year-round. UV damage is one of the most significant contributors to skin aging, so applying a broad-spectrum SPF daily is vital in preserving your skin’s health and preventing premature wrinkles. Additionally, incorporating products that support collagen synthesis, like Vitamin C serums , can complement the effects of Sculptra by brightening and protecting your skin. For extra hydration and to improve skin elasticity, consider adding hydrating moisturizers and retinoids to your routine, which can help promote cell turnover and smooth fine lines.

DiamondGlow Microdermabrasion

February 15, 2025
Discover the Next Generation of Microdermabrasion with DiamondGlow®  When it comes to keeping your skin healthy, vibrant, and youthful, regular exfoliation is key. While traditional microdermabrasion treatments have long been a staple in skincare routines, there’s now a new, next-generation option that takes exfoliation to the next level: DiamondGlow®. At Skin MD, we offer this innovative treatment to help you achieve radiant, smooth, and youthful-looking skin. DiamondGlow® offers all the benefits of microdermabrasion, plus so much more. Let's dive into why this cutting-edge treatment should be your next skincare investment. What is DiamondGlow®? DiamondGlow® is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines gentle microdermabrasion with advanced skin infusion technology. Using a diamond-tipped wand, DiamondGlow® exfoliates the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and revealing a fresher, brighter complexion underneath. But that's not all. As the wand glides over the skin, it also performs an extraction process, removing debris from clogged pores, while simultaneously infusing the skin with professional-grade SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums that hydrate and nourish the skin. This all-in-one treatment provides the benefits of deep exfoliation, pore cleansing, and skin hydration without the downtime associated with many other facial treatments.

Skincare Products to Boost/Maintain Treatment Results

February 5, 2025
How Skincare Products Can Enhance Your Med Spa Treatments When you’re investing in professional treatments like microneedling, Botox, or laser facials, you want to ensure that the results last as long as possible. While in-office treatments provide immediate benefits, the right at-home skincare regimen can help maintain and even enhance those results. The combination of professional services and high-quality skincare products is the key to unlocking glowing, healthy skin. The Power of Skincare Between Treatments At Skin MD in Dearborn, Michigan, we know that skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for one person might not work for another, which is why we offer personalized consultations to create treatment plans tailored to your unique skin needs. And while our advanced services like microneedling or Botox are effective on their own, using the right skincare products can elevate the effects, helping to keep your skin healthy, rejuvenated, and youthful for longer. For example, after a microneedling session, your skin is primed to absorb products more effectively. Using the right serums, moisturizers, and sunscreens can amplify the results and help speed up the healing process. On the other hand, Botox helps to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, but a daily skincare routine with hydrating products will keep your skin nourished and plump, ensuring that the effects last as long as possible.
