Pico Laser technology is constantly evolving, and each model has its own unique advantages. For patients looking for a clinic that uses Pico Laser, here are some recommendations:

Wavelength

  • 1064 nm: Suitable for deep treatments, tattoos, and deep melasma.
  • 532 nm: Good for freckles and superficial melasma.
  • 755 nm: Ideal for treating colored tattoos and achieving a brighter complexion.
  • 694 nm: Helps with dark tattoos.

Pulse Duration

  • A pico has a speed in the picosecond range (10⁻¹² seconds).
  • The shorter the better; it reduces heat buildup and is safer.
  • Newer models have shorter durations, around 300-450 picoseconds.

Firing mode

  • Full beam: For large areas.
  • Fractional: For stimulating collagen production.
  • Zoom: For small, specific areas.

Certification

  • The US FDA is an important international standard.
  • The Thai FDA is required for safety and legal compliance.

A model you might have heard of often.

  • PicoSure: The first model to receive US FDA approval.
  • PicoWay: Has a full range of wavelengths.
  • Discovery Pico: High Power.
  • Picocare: Cost-effective and effective.

These are the criteria for choosing a model.

  1. Focus primarily on the skin problem you wish to treat.
  2. Check if all the wavelengths available meet your needs.
  3. Check for certifications from both the US and Thai FDA.
  4. Consider the budget and cost-effectiveness.
  5. Review the company's user experience and reliability.

The doctor recommends that if you are considering choosing a device, you should look at the common skin problems your clinic sees and choose a model with a wavelength suitable for those treatments. Importantly, it must have both US FDA and Thai FDA approval.

D' Lovevery Clinic The doctor chose to use a machine with a full range of wavelengths—532nm, 755nm, 1064nm, 585nm, and 650nm—because the patients have a wide variety of lesions, in order to address the patients' problems effectively and precisely. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask the doctor. 😊
