With aesthetic treatments continually evolving, specialised lasers have taken centre stage due to their incredible capabilities. By harnessing the power of specific wavelengths of light, these lasers can address numerous skin concerns, from stubborn pigmentation to bothersome vascular irregularities.
In this comprehensive exploration, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of aesthetic lasers, focusing our spotlight on our two standout contenders: the PRO Green 532nm laser and the PRO Yellow 577nm laser. From tackling age spots to soothing persistent redness, these lasers offer distinct strengths that cater to different needs. Discover the science, benefits, and considerations behind each laser, and understand the secrets behind their effectiveness to help you make an informed decision about the best path for your clinic.
The 532nm and 577nm Wavelengths
In order to provide optimal care to your patients, it is crucial to understand the foundational principles of the visible light spectrum and the nuanced role played by distinct wavelengths in aesthetic laser applications. The 532nm and 577nm wavelengths are situated within the green and yellow segments of the visible light spectrum.
The 532nm wavelength is adopted by our PRO Green laser. This specific wavelength is mainly absorbed by haemoglobin, the targeted structure for vascular treatments found in blood vessels. The PRO Yellow laser, on the other hand, makes use of the 577nm wavelength, which is more selective and falls within the maximum absorption limit for optimal results.
The PRO Green and PRO Yellow
At Asclepion, we pride ourselves on years of intense research to only provide state-of-the-art laser devices. The PRO Green and PRO Yellow are no exception; both are highly capable lasers with a range of features to ensure practitioner and client satisfaction.
With their compact, tabletop unit design, the PRO laser devices are easy to store and comfortable to use. Combined with an ultra-clear and super-sharp LCD display and touch-sensitive buttons, they offer an immersive and responsive user experience, featuring selectable treatment modes.

The specially developed optics for the PRO devices produce a homogeneous beam profile. This results in highly precise treatments with the highest safety standards. Additionally, the integrated skin cooling offers maximum comfort throughout treatments, even on larger areas.
Since consumables are not required, the PRO devices allow for low operating costs and no downtime. Both laser devices come with specialist handpieces to suit a variety of clinical and aesthetic uses.
High-Precision Handpiece:
With spot sizes of 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2.8mm, the high-precision optical handpiece ensures meticulous accuracy. Combined with the intuitive laser interface, treatment delivery can be adjusted seamlessly with the optical handpiece. Stainless steel construction makes this handpiece durable and sterilisable, ensuring the highest level of sanitation in your clinic.
Scanner Handpiece:
With its integrated skin cooling, the specially developed scanner handpiece enables the treatment of larger areas with complete patient comfort. This results in quicker treatment times. The scanner handpiece features a 1mm spot size and a 15mm x 15mm scan area, making it the ideal choice for large areas.
Comparison
Targeted Conditions:
While both devices operate in similar ways and target similar conditions, they offer different levels of precision within their treatment capabilities.
With the PRO Green targetted 532nm green-light laser, a diverse selection of safe treatments for facial tissue can be administered. Expand your clinic menu and add facial pigmentation treatments, such as small hemangioma, and deliver unmatched results. Various facial lesions including lentigines and sebaceous glands as well as acne reduction can be treated within the specialised 532nm green wavelength. Cater to your clients’ needs and wants by taking care of various facial vascular anomalies. Specialised treatments to target small thread veins, couperose, telangiectasia, rosacea, port wine stains, and spider veins, can be carried out with the PRO Green.
The PRO Yellow, on the other hand, offers a broader selection of treatments for various body areas, not just the face. Different pigmentation types, such as melasma or brown spots can be treated. Comprehensive acne treatments to shrink sebaceous glands as well as reduce redness and acne marking will ensure your clients’ needs are met with the PRO Yellow.
Skin Type Considerations:
The PRO Green device produces such a precise wavelength of 532nm, that it is only safe to use on skin types 1-3 of the Fitzpatrick scale. As the 577nm wavelength by the PRO Yellow has a lower melanin absorption than the 532nm, it can be used on a wider variety of skin types (1-4) with reduced risk of damage.
Conclusion
In the intriguing world of aesthetic laser treatments, the choice between the PRO Green 532nm and the PRO Yellow 577nm laser signifies a pivotal decision for your clinic. Each wavelength boasts unique strengths, rendering them invaluable tools for addressing a diverse array of skin concerns.
The green 532nm wavelength’s compatibility for facial lesions and vascular anomalies makes it a reliable choice to deliver outstanding results. Conversely, the yellow 577nm wavelength’s versatility in targeting vascular lesions and pigmentation on different body parts, combined with its reduced risk of hyperpigmentation for a wider range of skin types, makes it the gold standard.
On your path to excellence, you need to consider more than just your laser’s wavelengths. Your clients’ wants and needs play a significant role in selecting your new laser device to be able to provide vibrant, confident, and revitalised skin. Set yourself apart from your competition by giving your patients what they ask for, optimising treatment plans and choosing state-of-the-art technology.
