Clinical White Paper Overview

According to Dr. Wichai's white paper, laser therapy is considered to be one of the ideal treatment when the treatment has strong penetrating power and preferential absorption; is inclusive of a specific wavelength that is absorbed by the target chromophore, does not overheat the adjacent tissues, has personalized treatment parameters (adjustable spot size, pulse duration, fluence and repetition rate), and/or requires fewer treatment sessions with minimal treatment time and fluence.

The picosecond laser (PSL) of the PicoWay® system offers one such laser therapy that fits in ideally for these needs and is not restricted to a particular patient group, covering a wide range of Fitzpatrick skin types.

Dr. Wichai provides clinical insights on using all PicoWay® handpieces and here are the takeaways included in this paper:
  • Overview of all 4 wavelengths
  • Clinical applications on:
    • The PicoWay® Zoom Handpiece: 1064 nm & 532 nm 
    • The PicoWay® 785 nm (or 300 ps) Handpiece
    • The PicoWay® 730 nm (or 250 ps) Handpiece
    • The PicoWay® Resolve Fractional Handpiece
  • Practical considerations for pulse duration and fluence selection
