nd yag long pulse laser for hair removal
The 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser offers a viable option for laser hair removal in all skin types. Its relatively poor absorption by melanin affords increased safety for use on tanned or darker skin types. As a consequence, however, this poor affinity for melanin also decreases its efficacy on treating light or fine hairs. The Nd:YAG is an excellent choice for treatment of dark coarse hairs on any skin type.

nd yag long pulse laser for vascular veins removal
The Nd:YAG offers an effective option for treatment of legs veins, including reticular and spider vessels. Deeper vessels are bluer than their more superficial counterparts, regardless of size.
Most blue vessels will need to be treated with a deeper-wavelength vascular device, such as the 1,064 nm Nd:YAG. Optimal pulse durations and spot sizes will vary by vessel diameter.
The Nd:YAG heats the vessel more uniformly than the shorter-wavelength 532 nm laser. This even heating allows for more successful vessel closure.
Pulse durations range typically between 10 ms and 100 ms, with short pulse durations (less than 20 ms) causing more purpura and potential for postinflammatory pigment alteration. Shorter pulse durations (less than 40 ms) are often required to close smaller vessels, whereas longer pulse durations are used for larger vessels. Longer pulse durations are safer for darker skin types, as they decrease the potential for damage to the epidermis.
Advantages of ND:YAG laser
With its relatively low absorption by the skin's three major chromophores, the 1,064 nm Nd:YAG is quite a versatile wavelength. Oxyhemoglobin can be targeted to treat telangiectasias, leg veins and port wine stains, among others. The affinity of 1,064 nm light for water allows its use for nonablative rejuvenation, and the absorption of the Nd:YAG laser light by melanin allows the surgeon to perform photoepilation.
Due to the higher fluences employed, adequate epidermal cooling is paramount. In the hands of an experienced laser surgeon, the 1,064 nm Nd:YAG laser can deliver excellent results safely.
Feauture
Pain-Free hair removal is becoming one of the most recognized treatments among patients interested in hair removal. This treatment uses the E-light handle in combination with IN-Motion technology to provide a virtually pain-free treatment without the need for topicals, cooling or other numbing agents.
A breakthrough in patient comfort, speed of procedures and repeatable clinical results. A low fluence for IN-Motion, not high, makes the SHR IPL unique for both laser hair removal and dermal heating. Instead of simply blasting unwanted hair, it heats the hair follicles to the proper damage point very gradually.

Works with widely skin types
SHR IPL works on most pigmented hair and all skin types - including tanned skin. This flexibility makes it ideal for both physicians and medical spa professionals.
SHR IPL's hair removal handpiece features a huge 16x57 mm spot . The sweeping technique eliminates skipped spots often left by "one pulse at a time" lasers. This comprehensive coverage means smooth legs, arms, backs and faces for your patients.
