Trusted Since 2011
Most laser resurfacing in Houston is done in surgical offices with long recovery and higher price tags. LaseMD Ultra takes a gentler path: it delivers energy into the deeper layers of your skin to stimulate collagen, then pairs the treatment with targeted serums that absorb far better through freshly resurfaced skin. You get brighter tone, softer texture, and fewer dark spots, safely, on almost any skin type, without disappearing from your life for a week.
What sets us apart is not just the technology, it is how we treat you around it. Our founders come from high-end hospitality, one from fine dining and a top culinary program, one from managing front of house at a Michelin restaurant, and that standard runs through every visit. We never rush your appointment, we walk you through every step, and we build your plan around your skin, not a template.

Lonyea Smith31 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bare Necessities is amazing! I’ve visited this location since its first opened its doors and Chynna provided exceptional wax and facial services. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and makes every visit comfortable. I’ve also seen other fantastic estheticians at both the Upper Kirby and Tanglewood locations, and the quality of service is always top notch. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by friendly faces and even offered a relaxing beverage, which I never skip!

From the beautiful faces at the front desk to the services. Simply amazing. Highly recommend. Susan Tajian28 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Because of Ashley, she was my masseuse, it was my first massage ever and she was so good, I'm coming back because of her Nayeli Alcazar28 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience at Bare Necessities Spa + MedSpa with their LaseMD service plus the epidermal leveling add-on, and I can’t recommend it enough. Perla was my esthetician, and she was absolutely incredible—knowledgeable, gentle, and so thorough in explaining every step of the process. The treatment itself was comfortable (with numbing of course) , and the results are definitely noticeable. My skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even, and it has that healthy glow I’ve been trying to achieve for a while. The epidermal leveling add-on made a huge difference in how well my skin absorbed products afterward. This service is truly worth it, especially in Perla’s hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about results and your overall experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this to anyone looking to invest in their skin. ✨ Julie H24 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My aesthetician was very kind, professional, and polite. She asked me what skin issues, if any, I was most concerned about and wanted to be addressed during my facial. She explained which products she would use and why she felt those were the best products for me and my skin type. After the initial conversation so she would know what I wanted and expected from my facial, I was able to totally relax and enjoy being pampered with purpose. I honestly can't say enough good things about Bare Necessities. I've been a loyal customer since they opened their first location on Richmond. I happily drive into Houston from Katy for my facials and waxing appointments, (even though there are many, many places much closer), because they genuinely care about their clients. I know that I will always receive excellent service, I will be listened to regarding my expectations for that day's session, plus I love the little things they do to always make me feel very, very special.

Laser skin resurfacing uses controlled laser energy to renew the surface of your skin and stimulate new collagen underneath. LaseMD Ultra is non-ablative, so it works through microscopic channels without removing the top layer, which is why recovery is short compared to older ablative lasers. As new collagen forms over the following weeks, tone and texture keep improving.
It is one of the most versatile resurfacing options we offer, targeting sun damage, dark spots, uneven tone, rough texture, enlarged pores, dullness, and early fine lines. If your main goal is smoother, brighter, more even skin without heavy downtime, it is an excellent fit.
For most people bothered by sun damage, texture, or dullness, yes. LaseMD Ultra delivers noticeable brightening and smoothing with far less downtime than surgical laser options, and results build over time as collagen regenerates. The Mayo Clinic overview of laser resurfacing is a solid neutral resource on what the treatment can and cannot do.
Fraxel and CO2 are typically more aggressive ablative or deeper fractional lasers with longer, more uncomfortable recovery. LaseMD Ultra is non-ablative and lighter, which makes it safer for more skin tones, gentler in a series, and much easier to fit into a normal week. For deeper structural concerns we may recommend pairing it with SkinPen microneedling.
Yes. Because it is non-ablative and highly customizable, LaseMD Ultra is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker and more sensitive skin, when performed by a trained provider. Every treatment at our Houston medspa is done by licensed clinicians under medical oversight.
Comfort is a priority, so we apply a topical numbing cream before your session. Most clients describe a warm, tingling sensation rather than pain, and any warmth typically fades within an hour or two after treatment.
Downtime is minimal. Expect mild redness that looks like a light sunburn for a day or so, with some fine flaking or a sandpaper texture over the next few days as your skin renews. Most people return to normal activities right away, which is a big part of why this laser is so popular.
There is no single best age. Younger clients use it to prevent and maintain, while mature skin benefits from the collagen stimulation that softens fine lines and evens out years of sun exposure. We tailor the intensity and plan to your skin at every age.
Many clients see improvement after one session, but a series of three treatments spaced a few weeks apart usually gives the best results. Because it is gentle, LaseMD Ultra can be safely repeated, and light maintenance every few months keeps your glow going.
Yes, and it is one of our most requested pairings. Adding epidermal leveling before your laser helps serums absorb even better, and many clients build a longer-term plan with our facials or injectables. We will map the right combination at your consultation.
Cost depends on the treatment area and how many sessions your goals call for, so we build a custom plan at your consultation rather than quoting one flat number. You can see general Houston market ranges for our medspa treatments on our Med Spa hub, and new clients receive 25% off their first service.
LaseMD Ultra bridges the gap between light and aggressive lasers. It provides customizable
treatments, minimal downtime, and transformative results. It’s not just a treatment—it’s a long-term investment in radiant, youthful skin.
