Thulium lasers utilize 1927nm wavelength fractional technology, making them particularly suitable for those seeking to brighten skin tone, whiten skin, and improve skin texture. For users seeking more noticeable results, the Newangie thulium laser is a highly effective and safe option.
Working Principle of 1927nm Thulium Lasers
The 1927nm thulium laser is a microablative/subablative fractional laser. It acts on the epidermis and superficial dermis, with the following main mechanisms:
- Selective photothermal effect: Laser energy is absorbed by water and hemoglobin in the skin, creating controlled thermal damage and forming multiple micro-treatment zones (MTZs) while preserving surrounding healthy tissue, accelerating repair.
- Stimulation of collagen regeneration: The thermal effect promotes collagen contraction and regeneration, thereby shrinking pores, improving fine lines, and firming the skin.
- Vascular coagulation and anti-inflammation: After being absorbed by hemoglobin, it can coagulate dilated capillaries, helping to treat rosacea and producing a certain anti-inflammatory effect.
- Accelerates pigment metabolism: The micro-exfoliation process helps remove epidermal pigments while promoting skin regeneration, resulting in a more even and brighter complexion and fading dark spots.
Why Choose 1927nm Thulium Laser?
Fast Treatment: A full-face treatment takes only 6-8 minutes, making it one of the fastest skin rejuvenation options available.
Wide Coverage: Supports 200μm and 350μm spot diameters, with scanning sizes up to 4×10mm and 6×10mm, improving treatment efficiency.
Intuitive Operation: The touchscreen allows for customized adjustments to parameters such as coverage, energy, density, and interval.
Customizable Software: Supports language and function customization to meet the needs of different clinics.
The core advantages of Thulium Laser Treatment
Short recovery period and high comfort: Typically, only 1-3 days of slight redness and peeling occur, approaching "zero downtime."
Significant and comprehensive effects: One device can improve numerous skin problems, including skin texture, pigmentation, fine lines, pores, acne scars, and skin laxity, significantly reducing costs for clinics and beauty salons.
High safety: The risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is far lower than with CO₂ lasers, making it suitable for more skin types.
Cost-effective: A single treatment can produce noticeable results for superficial problems; a complete treatment course offers even better value.
Multifunctional combination: It can be combined with other therapies (such as chemical peels, topical medications, and CO₂ lasers) to achieve layered treatment.
Two working handles of the 1927nm thulium laser device
Fractional Handpiece
Fractional Mode: The laser beam is divided into hundreds of micro beams via a specialized microlens optical system, creating precise microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) on the skin while preserving the integrity of surrounding healthy tissue.
Precise Firing Performance: During treatment, the handpiece remains vertically positioned against the skin with stable contact. It delivers accurate single shots before gently shifting to cover adjacent areas, ensuring uniform treatment coverage.
Fully Adjustable Parameters: The device allows precise modulation of energy density, treatment patterns and spot sizes, delivering exceptional flexibility for fully customized facial and body treatments tailored to individual skin conditions.
Dermal Deep Penetration: Highly concentrated laser energy penetrates deep into the dermal layer, effectively stimulating natural collagen and elastin regeneration for more noticeable anti-aging and skin-resurfacing results.
Core Function: Skin Reshaping & Rejuvenation
The fractional laser handpiece focuses on activating dermal collagen renewal. It effectively improves enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, atrophic acne scars and skin laxity, restoring firmer, smoother and more youthful skin texture.
Scanning Handpiece
Scanning Mode: The laser beam delivers continuous, rapid and uniform scanning across the target treatment area.
Sliding Operation: The handpiece glides smoothly and continuously over the skin surface, enabling ultra-fast treatment speed and full, efficient coverage of large skin areas.
Intelligent Parameter Presets: Linked energy and scanning speed are intelligently controlled by built-in system programs. This ensures consistent energy output and maximum safety during high-speed sliding treatments, greatly simplifying operational procedures.
Superficial Thermal Action: Laser energy is evenly distributed throughout the epidermis and superficial dermal layers, delivering gentle, superficial thermal stimulation for mild and safe skin rejuvenation.
How to choose the right skin repair system for a clinic?
Thulium Laser vs. CO₂ Fractional Laser
| Feature | 1927nm Thulium Laser | CO₂ Fractional Laser |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Indications | Hyperpigmentation, skin texture, fine lines, pores, mild scars | Deep scars, severe photodamage, skin resurfacing |
| Downtime | 1-3 days of mild redness and flaking | 5-14 days of marked erythema and crusting |
| Skin Tone Safety | Higher safety; low risk of PIH | Cautious use in darker skin tones; higher PIH risk |
| Treatment Frequency | Multiple sessions (3-6 as a series) | 1-2 intensive sessions |
| Anesthesia | Topical anesthetic cream | Longer anesthesia time + cooling support |
| Business Model | High-frequency follow-ups, maintenance packages | Premium single-session resurfacing, before/after marketing |
If You Could Choose Only One Machine - Which Should It Be?
If your clinic is choosing just one resurfacing platform, the right answer depends on your patient demographic, your current treatment menu and how much downtime your clients are willing to accept.
Thulium Laser is often the better all-rounder for clinics that want to serve a broad audience with visible improvement, short recovery and repeatable treatment demand. It works especially well for pigmentation, texture, fine lines and gradual rejuvenation.
If CO₂ is also included, a complete product line can be achieved, ranging from "routine maintenance" to "deep repair".
Clinic Profitability - Building a Balanced Menu
Thulium Laser Pro is highly attractive as a repeatable, lower-downtime rejuvenation service that suits regular treatment plans, seasonal courses and ongoing maintenance packages.
CO2 laser is the premium, high-value treatment that supports stronger pricing, high-impact results and standout before-and-after photography. Together they allow clinics to offer both high-frequency repeat business and premium corrective procedures.
Safety & Skin Types
Both systems are safe when used correctly with proper patient selection, conservative protocols where appropriate and clear aftercare. Thulium is generally the more flexible option across different skin tones, while CO2 often requires more caution, especially in darker skin types.

FAQ
Q: Is Thulium truly "no downtime"?
A: Thulium usually involves very short recovery, typically light redness and flaking for 1–3 days rather than extended downtime.
Q: Which is better for acne scar removal?
A: CO2 is generally the stronger option for acne scarring because it works deeper and supports stronger collagen remodelling.
Q: Can Thulium treat melasma safely?
A: Thulium is often chosen for pigment-led concerns, including melasma management, when conservative settings and strict sun protection are used.
Q: How many treatments are usually needed?
A: Thulium often works best as a short course of treatments, while CO2 is commonly used in 1–2 more intensive sessions.
Q: Which skin tones can be treated?
A: Thulium is generally more flexible across skin tones. CO2 often needs more caution and conservative protocols in darker skin types.
Q: What anaesthesia is required?
A: Both typically use topical anaesthetic, although CO2 may require longer numbing time and more cooling support due to the stronger treatment intensity.
Q: What training is included?
A: Training, treatment guidance and after-sales support are included to help clinics launch safely and confidently.
Q: Can clinics offer both systems profitably?
A: Yes. Thulium supports repeatable rejuvenation demand, while CO2 supports premium corrective cases. Together they create a very balanced commercial offering.
Q: How should each treatment be marketed?
A: Thulium is best positioned around low-downtime clarity, tone and texture, while CO2 is best positioned as transformational resurfacing for more advanced concerns.
Q: Can treatments be combined?
A: Yes. Many clinics use Thulium for pigment and surface refinement before progressing to CO2 for deeper resurfacing and scar correction.
