Nd:Yag
The **Nd:YAG** (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser is a versatile laser commonly used in dermatology for various treatments, including hair removal, skin resurfacing, and treating vascular lesions. It works by emitting a specific wavelength of light that penetrates deep into the skin, targeting specific tissues without damaging the surrounding areas. It is also used in laser tattoo removal and certain types of acne treatments.
Erbium
The Erbium laser is a type of fractional laser commonly used in dermatology for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. It works by emitting a wavelength of light that is absorbed by water in the skin, allowing for precise removal of the outer layers of skin to improve texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat pigmentation issues. Erbium lasers are less invasive than other types of resurfacing lasers, often resulting in less downtime and a quicker recovery, making them popular for facial rejuvenation and scar treatments.
Excimer
The Excimer laser is a specialized ultraviolet (UV) laser used in dermatology to treat conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema by targeting the skin’s pigment-producing cells. It works by emitting a specific wavelength of UV light that can penetrate the skin, reducing inflammation and promoting repigmentation. This treatment is effective for localized skin issues, offering a non-invasive solution with minimal risk of side effects.
