The main situations for which the ND YAG laser can be used are:
Nd YAG is the English acronym for neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet.
The Nd YAG laser is used in aesthetic medicine for laser hair removal, tattoo removal, skin reshaping, but especially for vascular lesions such as varicose veins of the lower limbs and telangiectasias of the face.
For example, in vascular; the laser shot will be captured by a target in the blood vessel (called chromophore): this is oxyhemoglobin. At this level, this absorption will produce heat which will allow the vessel to be closed by coagulation, and thus make the unsightly lesion disappear.
The Nd YAG laser is a versatile laser allowing several treatments in medical aesthetics.
After checking for contraindications, the patient sits comfortably and puts on eye protection.
The doctor cleans the skin of the treated area, and sets the laser according to the clinical indication. The procedure begins, the patient may feel small tingling sensations similar to a small rubber band pull.
For added safety, a cold effect created by the Zimmer tool cools the skin and limits the thermal effect, while creating a slight local anesthesia.
This procedure lasts between 10 and 30 minutes.
At the end of the session, redness is present but dissipates very quickly. In some cases, a few small scabs appear after a few days, which are easily camouflaged. It is best to avoid the sun 15 days before and 15 days after treatment.
