Nd: Yag (1064 nm wavelength)
Nd: Yag (1064 nm wavelength) is considered to be ideal for targeting blood vessels, especially the deep rooted veins. The delivered light of the specific wavelength catches up to 700 J/cm2, for the purpose of powerful vein clearance.
Nd: Yag (1064 nm wavelength) includes six different types of equipment for the effective implementation of the process which include CoolGlide, Medlite IV, Varia, Athos, Lyra, and Image.
The actual process of working for a Nd: Yag (1064 nm wavelength) is by heating the heamoglobin within the vessels by the supplied energy, which in turn causes the vessel walls to constrict. This leads the vessels to shrink and therein it fades from the view.
Nd: Yag (1064 nm wavelength) as an equipment has an added feature of a footswitch control which allows rapid pulsing of the equipment for quicker treatments, where else the efficacy of the equipment adopts for the process of better vessel clearance after a very few sessions.
With high margin visibility of the equipment, the popularity and demand is growing fast amongst the physicians. With the assistance of a red aiming beam the positioning of the laser pulses over the vessels gets even better cultivating a successful result of treatment.
As for now Nd: Yag (1064 nm wavelength) systems are using longer pulse durations without any tar. There have been cases which have reported these systems to be very painful in their terms. Also, due to lack of proper evidence there are speculations with the use of this form of treatment.
