Multi-function platforms let one clinic offer many treatments from a single system. The best platform is the one that fits your patient mix and room workflow.
Single-purpose vs multi-function
Single-purpose devices (for example a dedicated hair removal laser) are simple and focused. Multi-function platforms combine modules or handpieces, such as pigment, vascular, resurfacing and hair treatments, and can serve more patient needs with less floor space.
Common technologies
- Diode, alexandrite, Nd:YAG: hair removal and vascular or pigment treatments
- Fractional CO2 / Er:YAG: skin resurfacing and scar treatment
- Picosecond / Q-switched: tattoo and pigment treatments
- RF and RF microneedling: skin tightening and remodeling
- IPL: photofacial and general skin rejuvenation
What to compare
- Treatments supported per module and ability to upgrade later
- Spot sizes, cooling system and treatment speed
- Consumables and handpiece lifetime (shots or pulses)
- Service network, training and warranty
- Regulatory clearance in your market
Match it to your clinic
Start from the three treatments that bring you the most revenue, then choose the platform that covers them well, with room to add more.
