The Nd:YAG laser emits long pulse light at a wavelength of 1064 nm, penetrating deeply into the skin.
The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the target tissue (such as hair, blood vessels, or pigmentation), converting the light into heat.
The heat generated destroys hair follicles, blood vessels, or pigment cells, providing effective hair removal, vascular treatment, or pigmentation reduction.
The long pulse duration allows the laser to penetrate deeper tissues without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
The Nd:YAG laser operates at a wavelength of 1064 nm, which allows the light energy to penetrate deeply into the skin tissue.
Selective photothermolysis occurs when the laser energy is specifically absorbed by target pigments (like melanin in hair or hemoglobin in blood vessels) and converted into thermal energy, sparing the surrounding tissue.
Due to its versatile thermal effect, it is highly effective for deep hair removal, vascular lesion treatments, and the reduction of unwanted skin pigmentation.
No. The long pulse duration and specific wavelength target only the designated pigments, ensuring deep tissue penetration without harming the surrounding healthy skin structure.
Deep penetration allows the laser to reach deep-seated hair follicles and vascular targets, ensuring more effective, long-lasting treatment outcomes for deep-rooted skin concerns.
The laser energy is selectively absorbed by target tissues containing pigment, such as hair follicles, blood vessels, or pigmented skin cells.
