A fractional laser means the laser treats only a fraction of the skin at a time instead of the entire surface. It creates tiny micro-injuries (micro-columns) in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This untreated skin helps the area heal faster, resulting in smoother texture, improved tone, fewer lines, and reduced scars with less downtime than traditional full-field resurfacing.
Why does the SlimVive Utilize a 1060nm wavelength?
The SlimVive Diode Lipolysis system uses 1060 nm because this wavelength is highly absorbed by fat cells, allowing it to heat and damage them without harming the skin or surrounding tissue. At 1060 nm, the energy penetrates to the ideal depth for targeting subcutaneous fat, raising the temperature enough to trigger fat cell destruction. Over the following weeks, the body naturally removes these damaged fat cells, leading to a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
What type of laser generator does the NeoVive Utilize?

Why does picosecond pulsewidth matter?
Picosecond lasers work incredibly fast—so fast that they break pigment or tattoo ink into tiny particles your body can remove more easily. A shorter pulse, like 350 ps, delivers energy even more precisely than a 750 ps pulse, which means faster fading, fewer treatments, and less heat on surrounding skin. This makes the procedure safer, more effective, and gentler on your skin, while also helping improve texture and firmness.
Why is the 585nm and 650nm wavelength chosen?
The 585 nm and 650 nm wavelengths in nanosecond lasers target specific tattoo inks and pigmented spots. The 585 nm wavelength works best on sky blue color varieties, while the 650 nm wavelength is effective on green variety inks. The laser breaks the pigment into tiny particles, which the body naturally removes, helping fade tattoos or dark spots safely and effectively.
What should I avoid after a Laser Treatment?
After your laser treatment, it’s important to take care of your skin. Avoid direct sun and tanning, skip harsh skincare products like peels or retinoids, and don’t scratch or pick at your skin. Also, stay away from hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for a few days. Following these steps helps your skin heal properly and gives the best results.
Why is the specific 10600nm wavelength chosen for this device?
The 10600 nm CO₂ laser is designed to target water in the skin, allowing it to remove damaged layers safely and precisely. This makes it ideal for improving wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture while also stimulating collagen for smoother, firmer skin.
Why are the specific 1550nm and 1927nm wavelengths chosen for this device?
The 1927 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths work together to improve the skin at different levels. The 1927 nm targets surface concerns like pigmentation and sun spots, while the 1550 nm penetrates deeper to boost collagen, tighten skin, and improve texture. This combination helps achieve smoother, more even, and youthful-looking skin.

What is the difference between the 50mm and 100mm handpieces?
The difference between a 50 mm and 100 mm CO₂ handpiece comes down to precision versus coverage. The 50 mm handpiece has a smaller spot size at 120μm, making it ideal for delicate areas, fine lines, and small scars, but it covers less area per pass. The 100 mm handpiece has a larger spot size at 240μm, allowing faster treatment of bigger areas like the full face or body, though it is less precise for small or sensitive zones.
What is the difference between Photoacoustic and Photothermal?
In photothermal effects, the laser energy is absorbed by the target (like pigment, blood, or water) and converted into heat, which destroys the target gradually while affecting surrounding tissue minimally. In photoacoustic effects, ultra-short laser pulses generate a mechanical shockwave that breaks apart the target without relying on heat, making it ideal for precise pigment or tattoo removal with minimal thermal damage. Essentially, photothermal uses heat, while photoacoustic uses pressure/wave energy.
What is the difference between DOE and MLA?
A DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) and MLA (Micro-Lens Array) are two different optics used to split laser energy into multiple micro-spots. A DOE creates a highly uniform, evenly distributed grid of micro-beams with consistent spacing and energy, making treatments more controlled and predictable. An MLA uses many tiny lenses to split the beam, but can produce less uniform patterns with slight variations in spot intensity. In short, DOEs offer greater precision and consistency, while MLAs are simpler but less accurate.
What is LIOB?
LIOB, or Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown, occurs when a picosecond laser delivers an extremely fast, high-energy pulse that focuses into a tiny point beneath the skin. This creates a microscopic plasma bubble that gently disrupts pigment or tissue without burning the surface. Because it’s a non-thermal, highly precise effect, LIOB allows for effective collagen remodeling and pigmentation treatment with minimal downtime and high safety for all skin types.
Who cannot receive treatments?
Patients cannot receive treatments if they have experienced or is currently experiencing the following: women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, recent sun exposure or tanning, photosensitizing medications (like Accutane or certain antibiotics), history of keloids, photosensitive medical conditions (e.g, lupus, porphyria), uncontrolled medical issues related to skin healing, recent self-tan usage of strong-irritating products. When unsure, consult a doctor prior to treatment.
How does the laser target specific spots without damaging surrounding areas?
Our laser is designed to recognize only the pigment or structure we want to treat. It delivers energy in a precise wavelength and pulse that breaks up the spot without overheating the surrounding skin. This is achieved through a scientific principle called Selective Photothermolysis.
