Which is better, Dual Yellow or pico laser?

Dual Yellow Laser and Pico Laser are suitable for different skin problems. Dual Yellow has been used for over 10 years and focuses on treating redness. Capillaries and red acne marks. This treatment is suitable for those who want brighter skin and reduced inflammation. It's quite gentle, doesn't cause peeling after treatment, and allows you to apply makeup and resume your daily activities normally. Pico Laser, on the other hand, is a newer technology, available in Thailand for about 7-8 years. It's suitable for removing dark spots, melasma, freckles, or pigmentation, as well as helping to smooth the skin and tighten pores.

In additionThe duration of a Pico Laser treatment is shorter. Dual Yellow allows patients to save on treatment time, which is an advantage for those who value convenience and have limited time. Pico Laser technology therefore meets the needs of modern treatments that demand both efficiency and speed. As for which method to choose, the doctor recommends considering each individual's skin problems and consulting with a doctor to select the most suitable method.
