THE PHYSICS OF 1064NM
The 1064 nanometre wavelength possesses low melanin absorption, allowing energy to pass through the epidermis with minimal heating and deposit deep in the dermis. This makes Nd:YAG the safest laser for darker skin types. Deep tissue penetration reaches structures two to four millimetres beneath the surface. Absorption by multiple chromophores enables hair removal, vascular treatment, and tattoo clearance from a single platform.
Q-SWITCHED TECHNOLOGY
Q-switched pulses measured in nanoseconds create a photoacoustic effect that mechanically shatters tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments, which are then cleared by the lymphatic system. Dual-wavelength capability - 1064 nanometres and frequency-doubled 532 nanometres - addresses the full spectrum of ink colours.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Tattoo removal with Q-switched Nd:YAG is the gold standard. Black and dark blue inks respond best to 1064 nanometres. Red, orange, and warm tones require 532 nanometres. A course of six to twelve sessions at six to eight week intervals achieves significant clearance.
Vascular treatments with long-pulsed 1064 nanometres address deeper leg veins and nasal telangiectasias. The carbon peel application, popular in European markets, provides gentle exfoliation and skin brightening.
THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT
The CE-certified Nd:YAG laser is widely used across EU clinics. Cosmo Tech, headquartered in Vilnius, supplies professional Nd:YAG systems with the necessary certifications, local warranty, technical support, and clinical training across Lithuania.
The Nd:YAG laser is the most versatile workhorse in aesthetic laser medicine. For Lithuanian clinics committed to comprehensive care, it is an indispensable investment.
