In n’ Out: Skin Laundry’s signature 15-minute laser and light treatment catapulted the facial-focused spa into all-star status for its zero downtime (and super speedy) results. Now, they’re adding a new service to their menu. The Ultra Fractional treatment is a non-ablative fractional resurfacing laser treatment for more aggressive results, still sans downtime. In 30 minutes, a laser goes to work rapidly targeting pigmentation, reversing sun damage and stimulating collagen. Optimal treatment is usually one to two sessions per month, and the best part is, it can be alternated with the brand’s signature Laser & Light treatment. Post-summer, it feels like the perfect solution. $250 for a 30-minute treatment, skinlaundry.com.
