Aesthetic treatments are constantly evolving, with specialised lasers taking centre stage for their remarkable capabilities. By harnessing the power of specific wavelengths of light, these lasers can address numerous skin concerns, from stubborn pigmentation to vascular irregularities.
We’ll delve into the fascinating world of aesthetic lasers in this guide, focusing on 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. Uncover the science, benefits, and key considerations of each laser to help you make an informed choice for your clinic’s success.
The 532nm and 577nm Wavelengths
Providing optimal care to your patients requires understanding the principles of the visible light spectrum and the nuanced role played by distinct wavelengths in aesthetic laser applications. The 532nm and 577nm wavelengths are within the green and yellow segments of the visible light spectrum.
The PRO Green laser operates at a 532nm wavelength, primarily absorbed by haemoglobin, making it highly effective for vascular treatments targeting blood vessels. In contrast, PRO Yellow laser treatment uses a 577nm wavelength, offering greater selectivity and falling within the maximum absorption limit for optimal results.
The PRO Green and PRO Yellow
At Asclepion, we provide the latest and most advanced 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. The integrated skin cooling also offers maximum comfort throughout treatments, even in 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 a high level of 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 hygiene standards in your clinic.
Scanner Handpiece:
The specially developed scanner handpiece enables complete patient comfort due to its integrated skin cooling, which results in quicker treatment times. The scanner handpiece also features a 1mm spot size and a 15mm x 15mm scan area, making it the ideal choice for treating 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, such as facial pigmentation treatments, such as small hemangioma. 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 client’s needs and wants by treating 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 wider 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 client’s needs are met with the PRO Yellow.
The PRO Yellow also has collagen-stimulating properties that promote skin tightening and rejuvenation, perfect for patients seeking non-invasive anti-ageing solutions.
Skin Type Considerations:
The PRO Green device produces a precise wavelength of 532nm, which leads to a higher melanin absorption. This increases the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes, therefore it is only safe to use on lighter skin types (1-3) on the Fitzpatrick scale.
The 577nm wavelength of the PRO Yellow has a lower melanin absorption than the 532nm, allowing it to be safely used on a wider variety of skin types (1-4) with a reduced risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This makes it a safer option for darker or more sensitive skin tones.
Conclusion
In the world of aesthetic laser treatments, the choice between the PRO Green 532nm and the PRO Yellow 577nm laser is a big decision for your clinic. Each wavelength boasts unique strengths, classifying them as invaluable tools for addressing a range 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.
Achieving excellence requires more than choosing the right laser wavelengths – it demands a deep understanding of your client’s needs and desires. To deliver vibrant, confident, and revitalised skin, choose a laser device that aligns with their expectations. Set yourself apart from your competition by giving your patients what they ask for, optimising treatment plans and choosing state-of-the-art technology.
