Laser Coring Elite. Elite Laser Technology. My 2026 Elite Post-Care.

Laser Coring Elite represents the newest upgrade in Laser-Coring powered by elite laser technology and delivered in my practice through a refined clinical approach.

What truly elevates the experience is my 2026 Elite Post-Care — designed specifically to soothe, calm, protect, and deeply support the skin after aggressive laser treatments.

This is not only about outcomes or healing timelines.
It’s about comfort, recovery quality, patient experience, and skin resilience during the most vulnerable phase of healing.

Patients describe it as remarkably comforting — almost magical after intense laser procedures.

Credit belongs to the technology, the Laser Coring Elite platform, and the Elite Post-Care system that completes the experience.

😊Call it vanity if you want — I’m comfortable with that.
It’s not about erasing every line or pretending I’m not aging. It’s about recognizing myself, feeling confident, and aging thoughtfully, with intention and restraint.

Lines, texture & skin quality — what neuromodulators can help with:
• Softening dynamic fine lines
• Reduced oil production
• Fewer acne breakouts
• Improvement in acne-prone skin
• Smaller-appearing pores
• Improvement in rosacea flushing
• Smoother texture and better light reflection
• In some patients, improvement in melasma flares driven by inflammation

Important to understand:
If a line is visible at rest, Botox alone is not the answer. Those etched lines need an “ironing” treatment — laser resurfacing, often combined with neuromodulators. Filler is rarely the first step.

Other common treatment areas:
• 💦 Excessive sweating (underarms)
• 😬 Jaw clenching, chin tension, neck bands, downturned corners

Summary: Botox isn’t about stopping time. It’s a tool — one of many — that works best when used thoughtfully and often when paired with lasers.

There are moments in a career that are difficult to fully absorb. This is one of them.

For more than a decade, I have learned from physicians whose work has shaped aesthetic medicine globally. Dr. Brian S. Biesman, MD, FACS, Dr. Eric F. Bernstein, MD, MSE, Dr. Diane Duncan, MD, FACS, and Dr. Michael Gold, MD, FAAD are not simply leaders in our field — they are educators and innovators whose scholarship, lectures, and clinical insight have shaped the way aesthetic medicine is practiced worldwide, influencing clinical frameworks, decision-making, and patient care across generations of physicians.

To now contribute clinical experience within the same forum — after years of learning from their work — feels surreal. It is humbling, grounding, and deeply meaningful in a way that is hard to put into words.

I am sincerely grateful to Acclaro Medical and UltraClear® for the trust, the collaboration, and the opportunity to be part of this journey.

I look forward to seeing many of you in Paris.
These sessions offer a rare opportunity to explore one of the most innovative technologies in aesthetic medicine today — laser coring with the UltraClear 2910 nm fiber laser — through thoughtful discussion, real-world clinical insight, and shared experience.

Acne scar treatment is complex and highly individualized. What appears mild on the surface may be deeply tethered beneath the skin, while more visible scars may respond to conservative treatments.

Some patients do well with CO2 Laser, RF microneedling, non-ablative fractional lasers such as 1550 nm Clear + Brilliant, or PRP-based treatments; others may require carefully performed subcision, UltraClear® laser, laser-coring, or biostimulators—and many benefit from a staged combination. There is no single “best” device, depth, or setting that applies to everyone. Treatment decisions are based on an in-person medical evaluation, scar morphology, skin type, safety considerations, and realistic goals.

The focus is always measured technique, appropriate energy, and long-term skin health—not unnecessary aggressiveness. Meaningful improvement is possible when the right treatment is chosen for the right patient, at the right time.

The most important step in treating acne scars is an in-person consultation with an experienced physician who understands scar biology, depth, and variability. Online information and comparisons are not substitutes for a proper medical evaluation.

If you are seeking an expert opinion, you are welcome to schedule a consultation with Dr. Shanthala at 978-854-33154 or visit shanthalamd.com. You can also review real patient success stories and experiences on Google and RealSelf. The consultation is where candidacy, options, safety, and realistic expectations are discussed—and where the right plan is determined for you.
