Hello! HUGE FAN of your informative videos! You are the laser guru! Question: Is it okay to get 3 different laser treatments at the same time (mainly forfacial redness + a few small broken vessels around my nose, but also for some PIH from old acne)? I'm going to Asia and hoping to combine Picosure (755nm nm), Cynergy MPX (595 nm), and a vascular laser (Wontech V-Laser) that uses 532 nm within 1 week. Is this overkill? For context I'm Chinese with fair skin, dark hair, overall very good skin but always with a flushed appearance on my cheeks and nose. THANK YOU!!!
Hello @sweeetsinx, thank you for your comment! Generally, yes it is ok to get 3 different laser treatments even on the same day or the same week as mentioned. It is quite common at AYD to treat patients with certain combination of lasers on the same day as lasers are very selective in what they treat, unlike broad band light, lasers are basically of a single particular wavelength, hence the laser deployed has a particular selective chromophore or target in the skin and this typically limits any collateral damage if deployed correctly with the right fluences (energy settings) for the right indications and adjusted for the skin phototype. However, the value of adding another 532nm laser as you mentioned for vessels is debatable. Most of the facial redness and broken capililaries can be treated with a 585 or 595nm laser such as the cynergy, and the pigmentation mentioned with the 755nm alexandrite laser, hence the 3rd laser may not be necessary in addition or may be duplicative to treat either vessels or even epidermal pigmentation with 532nm laser can be used to treat. Hope this helps! But treatment differs for all skin depending on the skin type and condition so please seek a dermatologist consultation for a more customised treatment plan.

Use IPL, cheaper and less complications
