CO2 Laser, Pico Laser, RF Microneedling and HIFU — How They Work and When They Are Used
At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, laser and energy-based treatments are among the most powerful tools available for skin improvement. But at our clinic, no technology is selected by trend or by client request alone. Every technology decision is made after assessing your actual skin condition.
The four main energy-based technologies available at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet are: CO2 Fractional Laser, Pico Laser, RF Microneedling, and HIFU. Each works differently, targets different layers of the skin, and is suitable for different concerns.

(VI) Tại DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, công nghệ laser được chọn dựa trên tình trạng da — không theo xu hướng. Bốn công nghệ chính: CO2 Laser, Pico Laser, RF Microneedling và HIFU.
Technology alone does not decide the result. Ask DIVA whether this method suits your actual skin condition and goal.
CO2 fractional laser creates thousands of tiny columns of heat in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process — producing new collagen, tightening existing collagen, and resurfacing the skin surface over time. The 'fractional' aspect means only a fraction of the skin is targeted per session, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing.
Best For
Acne scars — especially boxcar and rolling scars
Skin resurfacing and texture improvement
Post-acne rough texture
Fine lines and early aging signs
Pore reduction with significant texture improvement needed
CO2 laser produces visible results but requires recovery time. After a session at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, skin typically appears red and slightly swollen for 5–7 days. Peeling may occur during this period. More intensive settings require longer recovery. DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet provides detailed aftercare guidance after every CO2 session.

Pico laser delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy — measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). These pulses shatter pigment particles into tiny fragments that the body's immune system then naturally removes. Pico laser produces significantly less heat than traditional Q-switch laser, reducing the risk of heat damage and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Best For
Melasma and pigmentation
Freckles, sun spots, age spots
Post-acne dark marks (PIH)
Skin brightening and tone improvement
Tattoo removal and PMU removal
Southeast Asian skin types — including Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, and Cambodian — are more prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation after laser treatment. Pico laser's ultra-short pulses minimize heat damage, making it significantly safer for medium to darker skin tones compared to other laser types.

RF microneedling combines two technologies: microneedles that create tiny channels in the skin, and radiofrequency energy delivered through those channels deep into the dermis. The combination stimulates collagen and elastin production at multiple depths — producing skin tightening, texture improvement, and pore reduction.
Best For
Pore reduction and skin texture improvement
Early scar improvement
Skin tightening and firming
Clients who need improvement with less surface disruption than CO2 laser
RF microneedling at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet has less surface disruption than CO2 laser. Redness typically lasts 24–48 hours. Most clients can return to normal activities the next day with appropriate skincare coverage.

HIFU focuses ultrasound energy at a precise depth below the skin surface — targeting the SMAS layer (the same layer addressed in surgical facelifts) without any incisions. The focused energy creates precise thermal points that stimulate collagen contraction and new collagen production over time.
Best For
Skin liftingand tightening
Early jowl definition
Brow lifting
Neck and under-chin tightening
Clients who want lifting results without surgery or injectable
HIFU results develop gradually. Initial tightening may be felt within days, but the full collagen remodeling effect takes 2–3 months to fully appear. One session can produce visible improvement that lasts 12–18 months in many clients.

At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, the selection of technology always follows the same logic:
What is the main concern — pigmentation, scars, texture, lifting, or pores?
What is the client's skin tone and pigmentation sensitivity?
What downtime can the client manage?
Is the skin stable and ready for treatment?
What combination of technologies will produce the best result for this client at this time?
In many cases at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, multiple technologies are combined in one session. For example: Pico laser for pigmentation + RF microneedling for texture. Or CO2 laser + chemical peel for scar and surface improvement. The combination is always determined by the assessment — not by package selling.

Suitability is always confirmed in person — this list is general guidance, not a diagnosis.
No aesthetic treatment is risk-free, and outcomes vary between individuals. On Asian skin the main concern with energy or peel treatments is post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) when aftercare or sun protection is neglected. Tell your practitioner about pregnancy, medication, recent sun exposure, or a history of easy scarring or keloids.
Contact DIVA promptly if, after a session, you notice prolonged or increasing redness or swelling, blistering, severe or worsening pain, spreading discolouration, or anything that worries you — early guidance is always better than waiting.
