What is Nd:YAG laser for

Nd:YAG laser is a solid state laser that utilize neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) as the lasing medium, which is capable of producing a near-infrared wavelength that penetrates deep into the skin and is readily absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin chromophores. The lasing medium of Nd:YAG is a man-made crystal that is pumped by a high intensity lamp and placed into a resonator (a cavity capable of amplifying the power of the laser). By creating a variable long pulse duration and an appropriate spot size, it is possible to significantly heat deep skin tissues, such as large blood vessels and vascular lesions. Meantime the laser could heat the deep hair follicles while not damage the superficial skin tissue, so it’s a most ideal choice for dark skin, especially the type IV-VI.

The Q-Switched technology incorporated into these lasers allows for the generation of high-power pulsed beams, making them suitable for a wide array of surgical and therapeutic procedures. The Q-Switched ND:YAG laser is particularly effective for treating pigmented lesions and tattoos, as well as other skin-related conditions.
