What is ND:YAG Laser?

It is named after the laser medium, Neodymium: ytrium-aluminum garnet. It comes in 2 wavelengths, 1064 nm and 532 nm. It is a non-ablative laser, which means that there is no break in skin tissue continuity during the treatment. It is designed to target pigment cells. This specific wavelengths are absorbed by pigments (melanin) and the resultant heat will cause generation and propagation of waves that cause damage to the cells containing pigment. These damaged cells will then be cleared from the site resulting in lightening of the pigmented site.

What does it treat?

It targets pigment-related problems:

- moles

- birthmarks

- age and brown spots

- tattoo removal

It is effective on black, blue, brown, orange and red-colored tattoo inks, but not to green and yellow.

What are its side effects?

After the procedure, you may notice redness and swelling in the treatment area. Some patients may also experience very mild bleeding at the treatment site. Aloe vera may be used on the skin after treatment, to soothe any discomfort. It is also important to cover up the area with gauze, to help the skin heal faster.

Over the coming days, you may notice some crusting at the treatment site, as the skin begins to heal. To reduce the chances of scarring, it is vital to let the scab heal on its own, without attempting to remove it.
