How does the Nd:YAG Laser work?

The Nd:YAG laser is the latest technology for laser hair removal. This laser produces a high-energy flash of light that passes safely through the skin and destroys the hair follicle.

Which skin type can the Nd:YAG Laser treat?

The Nd:YAG Laser can be used for all types of skin, in particular tanned or dark skin. This is something other laser machines can't do.

Does it hurt?

The treatment may feel like a rubber band snapping against the skin with a temporary stinging sensation. Applying ice after the treatment minimizes redness and puffiness that can occur.

How many treatments do I need?

Approximately 6-8 treatments are recommended for the face, spaced 4 weeks apart. For all other areas, 4-6 treatments are typically required. These are average numbers; individual conditions may vary.

Will the hair grow back?

In some patients, hair may re-grow or not respond at all. Removal of brown or blond hair is less successful than black hair. Permanent reduction has been demonstrated to be achievable.
