ND : YAG Laser
The ND:YAG laser (Long Pulsed 1064 nm) is a widely used technology for reducing unwanted hair. With its deep wavelength, it targets hair follicles effectively and is suitable for all skin tones, especially Asian skin. The laser energy weakens the root of the hair, helping reduce regrowth over time while also improving skin texture and minimizing pore visibility.
Benefits of ND:YAG Laser
1. Helps reduce unwanted hair growth long-term
2. Suitable for a wide range of skin tones, including medium to dark skin
3. Less risk of burns or scarring compared to waxing or plucking
4. May help refine pores and reduce ingrown hairs
5. Faster and more consistent results compared to IPL
6. No downtime – daily activities can usually be resumed right away
Treatment Process
1. Skin and hair are assessed by the doctor before treatment.
2. Hair is shaved to allow the laser to reach the follicles effectively.
3. Cooling gel or built-in cooling technology is applied for comfort.
4. ND:YAG laser pulses are delivered to the targeted area.
5. Post-treatment care instructions are provided.
Each session takes about 15–45 minutes, depending on the treated area.
Aftercare & Precautions
1. Avoid plucking, waxing, or trimming deeply for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
2. Stay out of direct sunlight 5–7 days before and after treatment.
3. Refrain from using strong whitening creams, AHA, or Vitamin A products on the treated area.
4. Mild redness may occur temporarily; apply a cool compress and avoid scratching.
5. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the treated skin for at least 1 week.
