Dual Wavelength Long-Pulsed Laser / Alexandrite Laser Treatment

Unveil your skin's true clarity with Dual Wavelength Long-Pulsed Laser — a harmonious blend of technology and beauty that illuminates your natural glow.

A combination of Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm) wavelengths allows this laser treatment to target pigmentation, vascular concerns, and unwanted hair across various skin types. Adjustable settings enable tailored treatments based on individual needs while minimising the impact on surrounding tissue. A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is recommended to determine suitability and expected outcomes. As with any procedure, individual results may vary.

The science behind Dual Wavelength Long-Pulsed Laser / Alexandrite Laser Treatment

This dual-wavelength laser platform allows for customised treatments based on the skin concern being addressed. The Alexandrite (755nm) wavelength targets melanin, making it effective for pigmented lesions and hair removal, particularly in individuals with lighter skin tones. The Nd:YAG (1064nm) wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, allowing for the treatment of vascular lesions and hair removal on darker skin types.

The laser emits controlled pulses of energy, selectively targeting chromophores (pigment or blood vessels) while minimising disruption to surrounding tissue. This laser system incorporates energy tracking and temperature monitoring to support treatment consistency and patient safety. As with any laser treatment, individual responses vary, and a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is recommended to assess suitability.

FAQs

The Dual Wavelength Long-Pulsed Laser combines Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm) wavelengths, allowing it to be used for pigmented lesions, vascular concerns, and hair removal across different skin types.

The discomfort experienced during laser treatment is generally minimal. The system is equipped with features designed to enhance patient comfort, including a real-time Temperature Sensing handpiece that helps monitor and adjust the laser's heat output. Additionally, cooling methods are often applied to the skin during treatment to further minimise any discomfort. The sensation can vary from person to person, but most describe it as a series of quick, light snaps against the skin.

Side effects from laser treatments are typically mild and temporary. Common side effects may include redness, swelling, and slight tenderness in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days post-treatment. Less commonly, patients might experience temporary pigmentation changes, such as lightening or darkening of the skin, especially if post-treatment care instructions regarding sun exposure are not closely followed. The procedure is known for its safety and efficacy, with serious side effects being extremely rare when performed by a qualified practitioner.

The laser can treat a range of conditions including pigmented lesions like melasma, vascular lesions such as spider veins and rosacea, acne, skin rejuvenation for improved texture and tone, hair removal, and signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles.
