ND: YAG Laser Treatment Specialist in Saint Clair Shores, MI

Despite our efforts to reduce the signs of aging, stubborn brown spots can be a giveaway. They are also called age spots, freckles, lentigines, or liver spots by some people. Different types of pigmentation differ in appearance, depth in the skin, and responsiveness to treatment.

The market is filled with a wide variety of lasers. The Nd: YAG laser is named after the laser medium, Neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet. It was designed specifically to help with pigmentation and freckles. Laser energy can remove pigmentation and unwanted hair as well as stimulate collagen, resulting in rejuvenated skin.

There are two wavelengths of Nd: YAG lasers, 1064 nm, and 532 nm. During the treatment, it does not disrupt skin tissue continuity because it is a non-ablative laser. Targeting pigment cells is its purpose. The wavelength of this light is absorbed preferentially by pigments (melanin), and the resultant heat causes waves to propagate and cause damage to pigment-containing cells. By clearing these damaged cells from the pigmented area, the pigmented area will lighten.

There may be some redness around the treated area for a few hours after the procedure. Many patients are able to return to work almost immediately after surgery because there is usually no swelling. Pigmentation may or may not lighten immediately after laser treatment. During the first 1-2 weeks after pigmentation, the spot may even darken. It is possible, however, to see the effects of skin lightening and rejuvenation immediately after laser treatment in some cases, each patient’s response may differ. When your skin heals from your final Nd: YAG laser treatment, the results will become apparent. Depending on the circumstances, these results may last for a lifetime.

YAG lasers have become an increasingly popular choice in the cosmetic laser department in recent years. Nd: YAG lasers are safe options causing only minor pain and minimal side effects. Different considerations may be made about the laser depending on what patients plan to use it for. For instance, when it comes to laser hair removal the best thing about it is that it usually works on all skin types, including those with tanned skin or darker complexions. Other lasers are not capable of doing this. However, fine, light, or white hair does not yield ideal results. The YAG laser has been reported to be painful by patients. YAG laser systems are typically recommended for tanned or dark skin types.

The Nd: YAG laser has a wide range of benefits due to its effectiveness, safety, and potential versatility in addressing a wide range of concerns.

In order to rejuvenate your skin, collagen production is necessary. You will notice your skin looking firmer and healthier when new collagen production is stimulated, as well as fewer wrinkles and lines on your face. Nd: YAG pulses are effective at targeting the melanin in various layers of your skin, reducing brown spots, and improving skin tone. Spider veins on the legs can be reduced with Nd: YAG. In addition to taking care of the aesthetics of your skin, your Nd: YAG procedure will be done by highly qualified and experienced aestheticians. In order to achieve the best results from your Nd: YAG treatment, your dermatologist will balance your overall skin wellness with your aesthetic goals.
