Laser Pigmentation Removal

The  ND Yag laser is one of today's most technologically advanced lasers for skin pigmentation therapy.

No matter how much we take care to reduce the signs of ageing, stubborn brown spots can be a give-away. Some know these by different names – age spots, freckles, lentigines, or liver spots. There are a range of different types of pigmentation which vary in appearance, what depth in the skin they lie, and how responsive they are to treatment.

How does ND Yag laser work

ND Yag Laser 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 wavelength are absorbed preferentially 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 are the benefits of ND Yag laser skin treatment?

• Improve skin tone
• Reduce rosacea and thread facial vein
• Reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines
• Treat sun damage including age spots and brown pigmentation
• Firming and tightening the skin
• Stimulate new collagen and elastin tissue production

How many treatments are required?

This depends on the type of pigmented lesion. Some lesions such as freckles usually require only 1-2 treatments, while other types may require more.

Is the treatment painful?

Treatment may feels like a snapping rubber or a light bite on the skin. An anaesthetic can be applied half an hour before treatment to reduce discomfort.
