Long-pulse Nd:YAG lasers offer the perfect solution for treating vascular lesions. Our lasers penetrate to a depth of 5-6 mm into the skin, allowing for highly effective treatments. Independent research shows that over 75% of patients with deep hemangiomas treated with Nd:YAG lasers see a dramatic regression in the lesion.
The energy from the laser is absorbed by the blood in the vein, converted into heat, and the vein walls are subsequently destroyed. In comparison with other wavelengths, which mainly affect the surface layers of a lesion, Nd:YAG laser light also targets the underlying vascular feeding supply, which is important for ensuring the long-term effects of the treatment. This process is perfectly safe as other healthy veins supply blood to the treated area and the body’s immune system clears away the dead tissue just as with a bruise.
