Varicose Vein Treatment with ND-YAG Laser

Varicose Vein Treatment with ND-YAG Laser

Varicose Vein Treatment with ND-YAG Laser ND – YAG LASER: (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser-1064 nm) Nd yag laser is a laser light with a wavelength of 1064 nm that is milene by deoxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin in the blood and can penetrate the skin up to 4-6 mm. For this reason, it is used in the treatment of leg varicose veins, port-wine stains, hemangiomas where the veins are located deeper, and especially for epilation on dark skin. Since it reaches deep and can cause tissue damage, there is a possibility that it may leave a mark in an unqualified hand. Among the laser lights used in varicose vein treatment, it is almost the only laser that is painful during the procedure. This pain is generally tolerated by patients. Painkiller creams can be used during the application. In order to prevent tissue damage, it is recommended that the treatment applied to the lesion be done with a point approach and that thin skin areas be avoided. Another advantage of the Nd-yag laser is that it is less absorbed by the melanin pigment. For this reason, the risk of skin damage due to pigmentation is less and it can be used safely on dark skinned people.

However, in dark skinned individuals, the skin should be protected with cooling systems and skin protective creams should be used after the procedure. Thanks to its long pulse duration, the Nd:YAG laser slowly coagulates the vein without causing tearing in the vein wall, preventing the development of flaking and spots.

After the use of Nd:YAG laser varicose vein treatment, a vascular reaction that can last for two to five weeks and can progress with the stain may be observed. At the end of the treatment, it is observed that the vein disappears completely.

The most important factor that ensures successful results is that the laser varicose vein treatment device to be used is an FDA-approved, high-quality device and that it is applied by an experienced physician in competent hands.
