Laser Treatment For 
Coarse Facial Skin

At Iona Dermatologics, we use the Lutronic Ultra™ laser to gently resurface coarse facial skin and reveal a smoother, more refined complexion. This non‑ablative fractional laser precisely targets rough texture, enlarged pores, and early signs of sun damage while preserving the integrity of your skin. Every treatment plan is designed by our physician‑led team to match your skin type, goals, and lifestyle, with a focus on safety, comfort, and an outstanding level of personal care.

The Science of the Laser

Precision Targeting

Our medical-grade laser system delivers thousands of microscopic laser columns into the upper layers of the skin. These microbeams selectively treat areas of roughness and uneven texture while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This precise approach supports faster recovery, minimal downtime, and a more comfortable treatment experience.

Collagen Stimulation & Skin Renewal

By gently heating the dermis, Lutronic Ultra™ stimulates new collagen and elastin production. Over the following weeks, the skin gradually renews itself, softening coarse patches, refining enlarged pores, and improving overall smoothness and radiance.

Comfortable, Controlled Treatments

Treatments are quick and carefully controlled. Most patients describe a warm, prickling sensation that is well tolerated. Our clinical team adjusts the settings for your unique skin type to balance visible results with comfort, safety, and an exceptional standard of care at every visit.

Treatment Process

01

Dermatological Consultation

Your visit begins with a detailed consultation with our physician‑led team at Iona Dermatologics. We assess your skin texture, pore size, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether Lutronic Ultra™ is the right choice for your coarse facial skin.

02

Personalized Treatment Plan

We design a customized laser plan that takes into account your skin sensitivity, pigmentation risk, and schedule. Most patients benefit from a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to gradually refine texture and improve overall skin quality. Every plan is clearly explained so you know exactly what to expect.

03

Advanced Laser Session

During treatment, your skin is gently cleansed and protective eyewear is applied. The Lutronic Ultra™ handpiece is passed evenly over the coarse areas of facial skin. Sessions typically take 20–40 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated. Mild warmth or tingling is expected and closely monitored by our team, who stay with you throughout the procedure.

04

Clinical Aftercare

Following treatment, your skin may appear pink and feel slightly rough, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually settles within a few days as the old, coarse surface sheds. We provide clear aftercare instructions, medical‑grade skincare recommendations, and follow‑up visits to monitor your progress. Our goal is to support you through each stage of your results.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Before the Session

Please arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, self‑tanner, and active skincare products such as retinoids or strong acids. Let us know about any recent sun exposure, medications, or skin treatments so we can time your session safely. For certain skin types, a small test area may be performed first to ensure the highest level of safety.

During the Session

You will feel brief pulses of warmth as the laser passes over areas of coarse texture and enlarged pores. Most patients tolerate the procedure well and are able to resume normal routines quickly. Our team is present throughout your session to monitor your comfort, answer questions, and make fine adjustments as needed.

Post-Treatment Care

Mild redness, swelling, and a sandpaper‑like feel are common for the first few days. Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours if the skin is intact and comfortable. Over the next 1–2 weeks, the coarse outer layer gradually sheds, revealing skin that looks smoother, more even, and refined. A series of treatments often provides the most noticeable improvement in texture and pore size.
