What are the advantages of Lumenis' Nd:YAG technology?
Lumenis' proprietary Nd:YAG technology provides multiple synchronized pulsing to selectively heat blood vessels of different sizes and depths. The wavelength of light and
pulsing characteristics of the system allow the energy to be virtually invisible to the epidermal melanin, thus protecting the skin and allowing treatment of all skin types and
tanned skin. Normally only a few pulses of the laser are required to achieve complete closure and sealing of the vessels. The sapphire cooled Nd:YAG treatment head, available
in the IPL Quantum DL and Lumenis One systems (and as an upgrade to other systems), increases patient comfort. Multiple spot sizes available on the Lumenis One “Multispot” Nd:YAG head allows accurate targeting of vessels anywhere on the body including larger telangiectasia on the face.

How does high-tech laser/light technology compare to traditional sclerotherapy?
The combined light sources of IPL and Nd:YAG offer important benefits over injection therapy. The combination of IPL and Nd:YAG therapy allows treatment of injectable
leg veins as well as matting and small spider vessels that are often too small to inject. In addition laser / light therapy is fast, less painful; minimally invasive without needles;
and typically does not require compression wrapping.
