(Long Pulsed Nd:YAG)
What is Long Pulsed Nd:YAG laser?
This is a subtype of Nd:YAG laser that penetrates deep into the skin and is readily absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin. By creating a variable long pulse duration and an appropriate spot size, it is possible to heat deep skin tissues, such as hair follicles, blood vessels and collagen.What are the benefits of Long Pulsed ND:YAG Laser?
Our system Fotona SP Dynamis delivers laser energy in various pulse duration that makes it a versatile laser that can destroy hair follicle for hair reduction, treat deeper vascular lesions such as telangiectasias, hemangiomas and leg veins. The bulk heating of the same laser could promote collagen production as well as induced adipocytes apoptosis (death of fat cell) when adequate energy is delivered to the fat area.
