What is an Nd:YAG Laser?
The Nd:YAG laser is a non-ablative laser treatment that helps you get rid of the appearance of broken capillaries on your skin. The laser being non-ablative means it treats your hyperpigmentation by gently heating the underlying skin tissue without harming the surface of your skin. This makes the Nd:YAG perfect for nearly all skin tones and textures. The quick treatment sessions require little to no downtime or recovery, making it the perfect treatment to get on-the-go or even during your lunch break.
How Does an Nd:YAG Laser Work?
The Nd:YAG simply works by heating the deep tissues underneath the surface of the skin. The wavelengths the laser emits specifically target highly red-pigmented cells. Once those targeted cells are damaged, they are naturally eliminated from the body and cleared from the treatment area. After just a few, quick treatments, you’ll be left with a glowing, even-toned complexion you’ll have all your friends asking about.
What Else Can the Nd:YAG Laser Treat?
While many patients come in to have their broken capillaries on their face treated, the Nd:YAG laser also has the ability to treat the appearance of your unwanted spider veins, red birthmarks and cherry hemangiomas anywhere on the skin. If you’re looking for a treatment to treat your brown spots or melasma, this may not be the right laser treatment for you. Consider our microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in addition to your Nd:YAG laser treatments for ultimate results.
