For years, the aesthetic conversation has been about the deeper layers of the skin. Collagen stimulation, dermal remodelling, and tightening, all of which are vital, but often overshadow something simpler: the epidermis, the first layer a patient notices in the mirror. And it is often the layer that transforms their confidence fastest.
Dr Pedro Santos, founder of My Secret Clinic in Vila Do Conde, hasn’t lost sight of that.
“With Ultra, the epidermis ceases to be the great forgotten one and becomes the stage where the skin recovers its glow, evenness and visible health.”
This idea guided his decision to bring LaseMD Ultra into his practice, a device he considers essential for modern rejuvenation, prevention, and long-term skin quality.
Why Ultra? Because patients want visible change, immediately
For Dr Santos, the priority was finding a tool that focused on the epidermis. His clinic needed a tool that could improve surface texture, create the kind of evenness patients notice straight away, and achieve reproducible results with minimal disruption.
“LaseMD Ultra offered exactly that: a laser that places the epidermis at the centre, with an immediate effect of luminosity and uniformity that patients recognise straight away.”
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing devices, Ultra doesn’t overwhelm the skin. It offers a gentler way to achieve visible improvement, making it suitable for all age groups and multiple skin types. He describes Ultra as “An all-terrain laser – Versatile, fast and well-received, gaining great unanimous feedback from patients.”
Revitalisation for every age and every stage
Ultra’s versatility is what surprised Dr Santos most. It works effectively across the entire patient spectrum.
“From teenagers, where it helps improve texture and marks, to young adults seeking prevention and an immediate glow. In middle-aged patients, I use it as a comprehensive rejuvenation treatment and a booster for bio-simulators. And in older patients, it becomes a tool to restore evenness and skin quality, improving self-esteem – Few technologies offer such a broad range of applications with such a solid safety profile.”
What patients notice: glow, evenness and ‘healthy skin’
Ultra treatments produce the kind of result patients talk about, share and repeat.
According to Dr Santos:
“They all highlight the same things: the glow, the evenness, that ‘healthy skin’ look.”
This immediate visible improvement is what drives loyalty and long-term demand.
According to Dr Santos, Ultra treatments produce the kind of results patients talk about: “They all highlight same things: the glow, the unevenness, that ‘healthy skin’ look.”
The visible improvement that Ultra devices provide is what turns a treatment into something patients want to repeat and recommend.
A strategic business and clinical asset
Ultra does more than treat skin; it supports the way a clinic runs.
Dr Santos describes it as a device that offers real versatility, quick treatment times, keeps downtime low, and, thanks to having no consumables, remains cost-efficient to operate. It also slots into almost any protocol, which has made it a practical and strategic choice for his team.
“Ultra has proven to be a tool of enormous therapeutic and strategic value. It fits multiple protocols, enhancing the perceived value and boosting patient loyalty.
“That’s why I say Ultra is much more than a treatment: it’s a results accelerator and a multiplier of therapeutic possibilities.”
Clinically, Ultra stands out because it combines the most powerful thulium laser available with a stable, controlled 1927 nm platform. It performs reliably across seasons and skin types, and its engineering is backed by strong scientific validation.
For Dr Santos, that combination makes it the ideal foundation for high-quality epidermal care.
