These lasers are used around the world for their unparalleled ability to target pigment in the skin. Leading dermatology, plastic surgery, and laser specialty clinics value Q-switched lasers for their efficacy for a variety of skin issues, primarily unwanted tattoos.
An Nd: YAG laser is a solid-state laser that uses an Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) crystal rod to produce its light energy. Nd:YAG lasers are used for a variety of applications, including laser engraving, hair removal, and more.
- There are two elements that make Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers essential for treating skin conditions:
- The 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths can be useful for targeting certain pigments
- The pulse is powerful enough to destroy its target, but brief enough to not harm the skin
- This classification of lasers is useful for treating:
- Unwanted tattoos
- Pigmented lesions (brown spots, age spots, etc.)
- Vascular lesions (spider veins)
- toenail fungus
- Non-ablative skin rejuvenation
In all of these cases, the QSW Nd: YAG laser is important for the treatment because the laser is able to penetrate into the skin (or nail) without harming it and have the energy absorbed by the target (whether it be tattoo pigment, haemoglobin, melanin, or fungus). To avail the facility of ND: YAG laser contact Bindal Clinic, Meerut, where all modern techniques are provided and fruitful results are given by Dr. Manisha Bindal.
