GlossaryNd:YAG laser

laser used in medical treatments, emitting 1064 nm wavelength light

The Nd:YAG laser, short for Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet laser, is a type of laser commonly used in medical and cosmetic procedures. It emits light at a wavelength of 1064 nm, which allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin, making it effective for treatments like hair removal, tattoo removal, and skin rejuvenation. Its ability to target specific tissues while minimizing damage to surrounding areas makes it a versatile tool in dermatology and other medical fields.
