CUTERA Nd:YAGCutera Nd:YAG hair reduction treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses a specialized laser technology called Nd:YAG to reduce unwanted hair on various areas of the body. This treatment is designed to provide long-lasting hair reduction by targeting and damaging hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
The Nd:YAG laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The absorbed light energy is then converted into heat, which damages the follicles and inhibits their ability to produce new hair. The laser is attracted to the darker pigment in the hair, making it most effective for individuals with light skin and dark hair. However, advancements in technology have made it possible to customize the treatment for a wider range of skin and hair types.
During the treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver the laser pulses to the targeted areas. Patients may feel a mild sensation of heat or a slight snapping or tingling sensation as the laser energy is applied. We utilize cooling techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure a more comfortable experience.
It's important to note that achieving optimal results with Cutera Nd:YAG hair reduction treatment requires patience and multiple treatment sessions. This is because hair follicles have different growth cycles, and the laser can only effectively target follicles in the active growth phase. Therefore, multiple treatments are necessary to target all the hair follicles at various stages of growth. Typically, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended to achieve the desired outcome.
After each session, patients may experience temporary redness or mild swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. Over time, as the hair follicles are gradually disabled and new hair growth is inhibited, patients will notice a significant reduction in the amount and thickness of hair in the treated area.
It's crucial to consult with us as qualified professionals to assess your suitability for Cutera Nd:YAG hair reduction treatment and discuss the expected results, potential risks, and any pre- and post-treatment guidelines. Compliance with the recommended treatment schedule and post-treatment care instructions will help optimize the results and ensure a satisfying outcome.
