The LONG PULSED YAG LASER
Currently featured in our Spectrum Aesthetic Laser/IPL system, the Long Pulsed Yag is a 1064 nanometer laser approved for the following uses:
Clinical studies and data analysis show YAG lasers are safer and more effective than intense pulsed light (IPL) laser therapy treatments, especially on dark skin.
What Is A Long Pulsed Yag Laser?
YAG stands for “yttrium aluminum garnet,” which is a synthetic crystal charged by a high-intensity lamp. After being charged, the crystal is put into a resonator to amplify its power even more. The YAG laser then uses the power of this synthetic crystal to produce a near-infrared wavelength that is able to penetrate deep into the skin. Energy from this laser is easily absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin chromophores. By applying a pulse width the appropriate size for the targeted spot, we are able to heat up deep skin tissues like veins and other blood vessels.
Vascular Reduction & Vascular Lesions
The Long Pulsed Yag laser can be used for the treatment and removal of superficial vascular lesions (for example, cherry angioma, hemangiomas, and telangiectasias). Vascular reduction is achieved by using energy to heat, damage, and collapse the targeted blood vessels. This makes the Long Pulsed Yag laser an ideal spider vein removal device.
How Does A Long Pulsed Yag Laser Work?
YAG laser energy is absorbed deep within the skin, enabling the treatment of different kinds of vascular lesions.
The YAG laser’s energy is converted into long pulses of heat, which break down the targeted blood vessels. Additionally, the laser can be used to gently heat the subcutaneous skin. This non-ablative procedure stimulates the production of new collagen, thus improving the appearance of facial wrinkles.
Why Choose Long Pulsed Yag Laser Therapy?
While there are several different laser systems on the market, treating darker skin types has been challenging due to melanin’s tendency to absorb the laser energy.
Fortunately, the Long Pulsed Yag laser’s longer wavelengths allow it to be used on all shades of skin, creating better treatment outcomes than those of intense pulsed light systems.
With a wavelength of 1064 nm, the Long Pulsed Yag laser penetrates deeper than any other lasers. Unlike some intense pulsed light treatment lasers, the Long Pulsed Yag laser’s longer wavelength and deep penetration make it safe for use on darker skin.
