The Classic handpiece is primarily used for overall skin rejuvenation. It targets general skin concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, large pores, and early signs of aging. It uses a 1440 nm wavelength laser to create millions of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin. This fractional laser technology stimulates collagen production and promotes the replacement of damaged skin with new, healthy tissue.

This improves skin texture and tone, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes the size of pores, and enhances overall skin radiance and smoothness. This handpiece is ideal for patients looking to maintain youthful skin and address mild to moderate skin aging concerns, and individuals who want to improve their skin’s texture and achieve a more even complexion.

The Permea handpiece is designed to specifically target skin pigmentation issues. It is effective in treating hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and melasma, while also enhancing skin permeability to topical skincare products. The Permea handpiece uses a 1927 nm wavelength laser, which allows for more superficial penetration compared to the Classic handpiece. This wavelength is highly effective at targeting the epidermis, where pigmentation issues are most prevalent.

It improves skin tone by reducing pigmentation and discoloration, enhances the skin’s permeability, allowing for better absorption of topical antioxidants and other skincare products applied immediately after treatment, and provides a brighter and more even complexion.
