What is ND YAG laser used for?
Nd:YAG lasers are used in manufacturing for engraving, etching, or marking a variety of metals and plastics, or for metal surface enhancement processes like laser peening. They are extensively used in manufacturing for cutting and welding steel, semiconductors and various alloys.
What are the advantages of Nd YAG laser?
Benefits or advantages of Nd-YAG laser ➨It is very useful for thin materials for quick processing. ➨It offers high DPI capabilities. ➨It is also useful for applications which need high power density such as metal marking. ➨It offers higher energy output and very high repetition rate.
How does a Nd YAG laser work?
How Does A Long Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser Work? Nd:YAG laser energy is selectively absorbed by the deeper levels of the dermis and allows for treatment of deeper vascular lesions such as telangiectasias, hemangiomas and leg veins. The laser energy is delivered using long pulses which are converted into heat in the tissue.
What happens after Nd:YAG laser treatment?
Side effects from Nd:YAG laser treatment are usually minor and may include:
- Pain during treatment (reduced by contact cooling and if necessary, topical anaesthetic)
- Redness, swelling and itching immediately after the procedure that may last a few days after treatment.

Is Nd:YAG safe?
The Nd:Yag does heat the follicle slightly, however it’s absorption into melanin is poor. That is why it is safe to use on darker skin types. When this laser is pulsed over the skin it doesn’t affect the melanin so is a much safer option. How Nd:Yag works on dark skin makes it a very safe option for darker skin types.
How often can you do Nd:YAG laser?
approximately every 4 to 6 weeks
In general, patients have 2 to 6 treatments, approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. Patients with darker skin types may require more treatments.
Does Nd:YAG laser hurt?
Many lasers, especially the nd:YAG laser really does hurt without proper cooling. Shaving before the procedure allows less discomfort and better light penetration to the follicle. Most clients treated with our Candela GentleMax Pro laser have described the treatments as completely or virtually painless.
