Nd:YAG
WHAT CAUSES AGE SPOTS?
The skin has its own mechanism to combat harmful UV rays from the sun, and produces melanin to protect itself. When the melanin produced is focused in a group of small spots, this leads to the development of grey, brown or black age spots across the skin.
Quick production of melanin may also result in larger patches of concentrated melanin on the skin – this is known as hyperpigmentation. These patches are usually darker in colour, and can appear on any part of the body exposed to the sun.
HOW Nd Yag WORKS ?
The q-Switch Nd:YAG laser emits high energy light towards the affected area, destroying unwanted skin cells which then allows skin to generate new cells to replace the old ones. In q-Switch mode, the laser produces two wavelengths; one being 1,064nm and the second being 532nm which is useful to address skin lesions. The laser is able to penetrate deeply without injuring the top layer of skin and also triggers the production of collagen and vital proteins which are essential for healthy and youthful skin.
It is a relatively painless and quick treatment that is suitable for all types of skin. Helping to lighten the tone of your skin, this laser procedure will also improve its complexion, resulting in fairer and smoother skin. The q-Switch Nd:YAG laser is also approved by the FDA to treat a variety of skin disorders, ensuring it is safe.

POST-TREATMENT
No downtime is required for this treatment and you can resume your daily routine immediately after your session except you are treated for the escar formation of elimination spots which might take about 7 or more days of downtime. In addition, there is no swelling, scarring or bruising, nor any major side effects associated with the session of rejuvenation treatment. Your skin may experience some mild redness but this is temporary and should subside in 30 minutes under proper care by our nurses and beautician.
Results will gradually improve after a period of several months, with a noticeable improvement after each session. Most individuals are recommended a treatment cycle of 6 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart, but this may vary depending on your skin condition.
If somemore unwanted pigmentation noted after the treatment, do not panic, with proper care and follow up for the complete session and home care, the prognosis can be satisfied.
NdYAG
波長 1064 奈米的雷射最容易形成振盪，譜線螢最強，約占整個譜線能量的 60 %，它可以較深地穿透皮膚，被深色素細胞高度吸收，能更有效地清除較暗色或發炎的組織。用於治療皮膚深層的色素疾病。
病變組織選擇性吸收雷射的能量後即被粉碎，並逐漸被自身吞噬細胞清除，最終達到祛除病灶且不留斑痕的目的。
以往通過外用或局部注射皮質類固醇僅能緩解症狀、不能清除病變，局部炎症還會復發，採用 1064 奈米雷射治療時，色素顆粒選擇性吸收雷射能量後被擊碎，網狀內皮系統會將其吞噬、排泄，從而祛除病因。作用時間短，對周圍組織熱損傷小，可避免疤痕、萎縮或皮紋改變等現象，且無色素減退或沉著。
