Just did this slide for tonights @Lutronic panel meeting. Only when I did this diagram did I realise that 95% of my work focuses around 4-5 devices . . 👉🔨🪚🔪🔫Devices & Procedural Dermatology: Is no different from any sort of industry including surgical, dentistry, motor mechanics, carpenters & others. We use our favourite tools to get the most frequent jobs done. In some cases we need rarely utilized tools to get other jobs completed. As the saying goes, ‘if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.’ In some cases those tools are replaced with better equipment . . ☀️Residing in Brisbane, Australia my work is heavily based upon treating sun damage, pigment & acne scars (not cause I live in Brisbane, but it’s my subspeciality). Hence fractional CO2, thulium 1927, nano lasers, fully ablative erbium & vascular lasers are my go to laser types. Occasionally the job requires pico laser, #Tixel, & others . . 👉👀What I rarely use: Non ablative lasers in the 1400 to 1550 wavelength range. I do think 1927 is fab, I also think short PD, low density CO2 lasers or even insulated radiofrequency micro-needling works better then these wavelengths . . 🔪Non-energy based devices: Account for half of my work- namely a blade of some sort, special cannulas & chemicals. In some cases energy devices are used as adjunctive treatments, in other situations I pick up a dermaroller well ahead of super high tech lasers. It is all about the job, not the technology . . 😎Dr Davin Lim @drdavinlim Brisbane🇦🇺 . . #skinscience #skinschool #dermatologistbrisbane #dermalscience #laserdermatology #lasers #antiaging #davinlim #drdavinlim (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6aedtDt1Q/?igshid=ln6gqxdmqj7c
