What is a Nd: YAG Laser
The Nd: YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser is a versatile laser system used in various medical and aesthetic procedures. In the context of aesthetics, Nd: YAG laser is commonly employed for hair removal, treatment of vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and skin rejuvenation.
How Nd: YAG Laser Works
The Nd: YAG laser emits a wavelength of light that penetrates deeper into the skin compared to other laser systems. This allows it to target melanin in hair follicles for hair removal, as well as hemoglobin in blood vessels for the treatment of vascular lesions. The laser energy is absorbed by the targeted structures, leading to their destruction or coagulation. Nd: YAG laser's ability to bypass the surface layer of the skin makes it suitable for various skin types.
Expected Results
Patients undergoing Nd: YAG laser treatments can expect effective results in hair removal, reduction of vascular lesions (such as spider veins), and improvement in pigmented lesions. The treatment is known for its safety profile across a range of skin tones. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal outcomes, and the specific results depend on the targeted concern. Nd: YAG laser is a valuable tool in the field of aesthetic medicine, offering versatility in addressing various skin conditions.
