Most people feel warmth and a light prickling sensation during treatment. Discomfort is usually mild and brief. We adjust settings based on your skin and can slow down or pause if you need a break.

Is Lutronic Ultra™ safe for my skin type?

Lutronic Ultra™ can be safely used on many skin types when performed in a medical setting with appropriate settings. Your dermatologist will review your skin tone, history, and any past reactions to decide if this treatment is suitable for you.

Laser Treatment for Enlarged Pores

At Iona Dermatologics in Mississauga, we use the Lutronic Ultra™ laser to gently resurface skin with visibly enlarged pores and uneven texture. This non‑ablative fractional laser precisely targets the upper layers of the skin, promoting smoother tone and a more refined appearance while preserving skin integrity. Every treatment plan is designed by our physician‑led team to match your skin type, goals, and lifestyle, with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and natural‑looking results.

The Science of the Laser

Precision Targeting

Our medical-grade laser system accurately delivers thousands of microscopic laser columns into the upper layers of the skin. These microbeams target areas with enlarged pores and rough texture while leaving surrounding tissue intact, supporting faster healing and minimal downtime.

Collagen Stimulation & Pore Refinement

By gently heating the dermis, Lutronic Ultra™ stimulates new collagen and elastin. As the skin remodels over time, pores can appear tighter and less prominent, and overall texture becomes smoother and more even.

Clinical Efficacy

Treatments are quick and carefully controlled. Most patients describe a warm, prickling sensation that is well tolerated. Our clinical team adjusts the laser settings for your unique skin type to balance visible improvement with comfort and safety.

Treatment Process

01

Dermatological Consultation

Your visit begins with a detailed consultation at Iona Dermatologics. We assess your pore size, overall texture, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether Lutronic Ultra™ is the right choice for your enlarged pores.

02

Personalized Laser Plan

We design a customized treatment plan that considers your skin sensitivity, pigmentation risk, and schedule. Many patients benefit from a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to gradually refine pore appearance and texture. We clearly explain what to expect from each stage of your plan.

03

Advanced Laser Session

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

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 outer layer gradually sheds. We provide clear aftercare instructions, medical‑grade skincare recommendations, and follow‑up visits to monitor your progress and support your long‑term results.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Before the Session

Please arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, self‑tanner, and active skincare such as retinoids or strong acids. Let us know about any recent sun exposure, medications, or other procedures so we can time your session safely. For certain skin types, we may perform a small test area first.

During the Session

You will feel brief pulses of warmth as the laser passes over areas with enlarged pores and uneven texture. Most patients tolerate the procedure well and are able to resume normal routines quickly. Our team stays with you throughout your session to monitor your comfort and answer questions.

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 outer layer gradually sheds, and many patients notice smoother texture and the appearance of tighter pores. A series of treatments often provides the most noticeable change.

Frequently Asked Questions

General

Clinic Policies

The Lutronic Ultra™ laser treatment uses state-of-the-art technology to minimize fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and encouraging skin cell turnover. During the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to days. As collagen rebuilds, expect to see more noticeable improvements over the coming weeks, with increased skin firmness and elasticity contributing to a more youthful appearance.

This laser treatment is well-suited for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ideal candidates are in good health and are committed to undergoing multiple sessions for the best results. The initial consultation includes a detailed assessment of the skin type, medical history, and specific concerns to ensure the treatment is tailored effectively, factoring in any contraindications that could influence the skin's response.
