VSP (Variable Square Pulse) Nd:YAG laser devices hold the most prominent position among all available laser sources for hair removal. This is due to the long wavelength (1064 nm) which Nd:YAG devices produce. Light with a wavelength of 1064 nm lies in a biological absorption region that allows light to penetrate deep into the skin, […]
Use of Long Pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm Laser for Treatment of Rosacea Telangiectatica
A clinical study was performed in which 23 female patients were treated with long pulse Nd:YAG laser light (DualisSP, Fotona, Slovenia) for rosacea teleangiectatica. Patients were treated in one, two or three sessions, depending on facial telangiectasia clearance success. The time interval between sessions was 6 weeks. Treatment parameters were set according to the treated […]
Scanner Optimized Efficacy (SOE) Hair Removal with the VSP Nd:YAG Lasers
In laser hair removal, it is preferred for many clinical and technical reasons to use small to medium size laser spotsizes. However, manually aiming a small laser beam hundreds of times to cover a larger skin area can lead to uneven coverage and can result in missed areas and excess heating due to pulse stacking. […]
FRAC3: Three Dimensional Non-Ablative Fraction Laser Skin Rejuvenation
A novel self-indiced non-ablative three-dimensional fractional FRAC3 method for skun rejuvenation is described. The method utilizes short pulse duration/high peak power density of Nd:YAG Accelera mode laser pulses. The Accelera pulses produce a three-dimensional fractional pattern in the epidermis and dermis, with demage islands located predominatly at the sites of skin imperfections. Thermal measurements in-vivo […]
State of the Art in Lasers for Dentistry
Lasers have been used in dentistry since 1964. The idea was to be able to treat both soft tissues and hard tissues, including bone, without direct contact, vibrations and pain. Since the early 90’s lasers have been applied in a wide variety of dental application areas. In this paper Prof. dr. Norbert Gutknecht, President of […]
