Sultra is a non-ablative laser treatment that works beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild collagen and restore firmness — with zero downtime. It delivers targeted heat energy deep into the tissue, stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production from within for progressively firmer, smoother, tighter skin.
Skin Tightening From Within
Sultra is a non-ablative laser treatment that works beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild collagen and restore firmness — with zero downtime. Unlike ablative lasers that resurface the skin’s outer layer, Sultra delivers targeted heat energy deep into the tissue, stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production from within. The result? Progressively firmer, smoother, tighter skin — without skipping a single day of your routine.
Want surface resurfacing too? Ask about Fusion — CoolPeel and Sultra combined in a single session for correction above and below the surface.

Here’s What You Can Count On
Step 1: Consultation
Your provider gets to know you, your skin, and your goals before customizing a Sultra treatment plan made to fit your unique needs.
Step 2: Treatment
You’ll feel only a mild warmth as your provider passes the Sultra laser over the treatment area — comfortable from start to finish, with no downtime after.
Step 3: Follow-Up
Your collagen keeps rebuilding for weeks after each session. We check in on your progress and help you plan your next session for the best results.
Get the Most From Your Sultra Treatment
-
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your appointment, and wear a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.
-
Stop retinols and other products that may dry out your skin 2-7 days before treatment, as directed by your provider.
-
Discontinue all exfoliating products (scrubs, glycolic/salicylic acids, at-home peels) 1 week before treatment.
-
Avoid aspirin and blood-thinning supplements for 7 days prior, or as directed by your provider.
-
You must be off Accutane for at least 3 months (or as directed by your provider).
-
If you have a history of cold sores, let us know — we'll have you start an antiviral medication before your treatment.
-
If you're prone to hyperpigmentation, your provider may recommend pre-treating with a melanin-suppressing (brightening) agent twice daily for 2 weeks before your visit.
-
Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the treatment area.
-
You may feel a mild warmth, like a light sunburn, for a few hours after treatment. Slight redness or flushing is normal and typically fades the same day.

Mild swelling can occur for a day or two — a cool compress (not ice) helps if needed.
-
Keep your skin well hydrated with a gentle, alcohol-free moisturizer.
-
Protect your skin daily with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for 1–2 weeks.
-
Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.

Makeup is usually fine the next day — mineral-based is best.
-
Hold off on retinols, acids, and exfoliants for a few days, or until your provider says you're ready.
-
That's it — Sultra is zero downtime, so you can return to your normal routine right away.
Frequently Asked Questions
CoolPeel is an ablative laser that resurfaces the skin’s outer layer; Sultra works underneath it. Instead of removing damaged surface skin, Sultra heats the deeper tissue to rebuild collagen — so there’s zero downtime, and it’s safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. Want both? Our Fusion treatment combines CoolPeel and Sultra in a single session.
Sultra is ideal if you’re noticing skin laxity, loss of firmness, fine lines, early wrinkles, crepey texture, or a dull, aging complexion — and you want real improvement without any downtime. Because the 1570nm wavelength doesn’t affect melanin, it’s safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones.
No — Sultra is completely comfortable. Most patients feel only a mild warmth during treatment, nothing more.
None. You may have some temporary flushing or mild redness that fades quickly, but you can return to your normal routine — including work and social plans — right away.
Sultra results build progressively. Your skin starts remodeling collagen after the first session, with improvements developing over the following weeks and peaking around the three-month mark. For the best results, we recommend a series of three sessions.
