Laser Er:YAG and Nd:YAG

Laser is modern medical equipment with a wide range of applications. By combining two wavelengths Er: YAG and Nd: YAG it allows to eliminate many aesthetic and health problems. Thanks to this, we can improve or eliminate such problems as: wrinkles, flaccid skin, loss of face oval, erythema, acne, post-surgery scars, acne and burns, onychomycosis, hair loss or unwanted skin changes in the form of viral warts, seborrheic warts , fibromas, haemangiomas.

The energy of the Er: YAG 2940 nm laser is absorbed by the water contained in the tissues. This laser is used to evaporate epidermal changes, as well as to improve, smoothen the structure of the skin and reduce discolouration. It is very precise; moreover, thanks to the low thermal conductivity it limits the occurrence of undesirable effects (the loss of skin colour, persistent erythema) and postoperative recovery time.

The Nd: YAG laser is a perfect complement to the ablation effect of the Er: YAG laser. In this case, the laser beam deeply penetrates the skin, causing a thermal effect there without damaging its surface layers. As a result of heat, collagen fibres shrink and skin tone improves.

  • skin resurfacing
  • skin rejuvenation
  • brightening of discolorations
  • removal of acne scars and hypertrophic scars
  • removing stretch marks
  • reduction of acne and post-acne scars

  • active autoimmune diseases (e.g. systemic lupus, scleroderma)
  • pregnancy
  • breast-feeding
  • drinking alcohol (24 hours before the procedure)
  • excessive expectations of the effects of the procedure

The effects of the treatment – depending on the laser beam used:

  • reduction of acne and post-acne scars
  • erythema reduction, closing of capillaries
  • brightening of pigmented lesions and discoloration
  • removing scars and stretch marks
  • endolifting
  • skin resurfacing
  • skin rejuvenation
  • skin lifting
  • treatment of onychomycosis
  • stimulation of hair growth

Preparation for the surgery:

  • not sunbathing for at least 4 weeks before the surgery
  • intensive moisturizing of the skin before the procedure
  • not drinking alcohol on the day of the procedure
  • not applying perfumes to places to be covered by the treatment
  • if you have frequent cold sores, take the medicine preventively

The course of the procedure:

  • During the procedure, depending on the sensitivity of the patient, pain, burning or stinging may be felt. Immediately after the procedure, erythema and oedema may appear. They disappear within a few hours or days after the surgery.

Postoperative procedure:

  • cold compresses can be used to speed up the recovery, it is also recommended to use moisturizing regenerating creams and thermal water
  • in case of erosion or seepage, it is recommended to use a preparation that accelerates healing (the preparation is recommended by a doctor)
  • to avoid contamination of damaged tissues, change to a fresh pillowcase and do not hug animals
  • do not use alcohol-based tonics
  • do not irritate the areas which were treated and gently dry them with a towel, avoiding rubbing
  • avoid intense physical exertion, sauna, swimming pool, hot and prolonged baths until complete healing
  • do not apply makeup until the epidermis peels completely go away
  • for patients with herpes, the use of appropriate drug is recommended

Duration of the procedure: depending on the procedure performed, from 15 minutes to 1.5-2 hours in the case of a 4D photon

The number of recommended treatments depends on the problem and the condition of the skin. Usually 1-3 treatments / year are required. The final decision regarding the choice of treatment programme and the number of recommended treatments is made by the doctor during the pre-surgery consultation

Possible complications:

  • no satisfactory effect
