Almost more than 50 percent of women over the age of 18 suffer from skin problems like darkening, stretch marks, freckles, etc. Most of these people never look for any treatment and get along with these problems without any solution, just because they fear surgical procedures. Given that there are laser therapies like Nd YAG and KTP today, skin therapies are not that complicated and are done without any pain or side effects. What follows will introduce Nd YAG and KTP laser and their goods and evils. Follow AFA till the end of this article for the newest laser therapies.

 

What kind of devices are Nd YAG and KTP?

Nd YAG laser is one of the foremost devices suitable for skin therapies. It is a kind of solid-state lasers and its wavelength equals 1064 nanometers. Nd YAG lasers can penetrate skin layers and break them up in a controlled manner. This process helps the individual to get rid of unwanted hairs, vascular lesions and other kind of conditions. Nd YAG’s wavelength is in the range of infrared so that deep penetration is feasible.

On the other hand, there is a kind of therapy named Potassium titanyl phosphate, abbreviated as KTP. Some people call this filtrating crystal ‘KTP laser’, which is not true. Actually, this crystal receives its wavelength from Nd YAG laser and converts its frequency into 532 nanometers of wavelength. In other words, KTP crystal or laser acts as a filter and radiates a wave with a shorter wavelength.

KTP radiation is green in color and well-absorbed by Hemoglobin and Melanin. The frequency produced by KTP can resolve skin pigments problems besides vascular ones.

 

What are they used for?

The main application of this device is to penetrate the skin and break it up in a controlled manner, so that the skin would regenerate its broken layers.

This process of destruction and regeneration helps the skin to stay fresh and resolve its vascular lesions and other problems such as freckles, darkening and any kind of spots. Using this kind of therapy, it is also possible to remove tattoos, fungal nail infection and vascular tumors on the face.

By converting Nd YAG energy to KTP, a visible light with the wavelength of 532 nanometers is produced which is in green and able to target the blood vessels.

One of the main applications of KTP crystals is to occlude the vessels responsible for skin redness. Patients suffering from rosacea acne and willing to reduce red spots on their skin can also benefit from KTP.

 

 

What are the side effects?

On the whole, there is no difference between Nd YAG and KTP regarding side effects. Both are a bit painful which can be resolved by local anesthetics. Post-therapic skin redness, inflation, inflammation and pruritus are completely natural and will go away after a few days. According to some reports, some patients experienced skin infection or bruising and antibiotics had positive effects on them.

What is the aftercare for Nd YAG and KTP?

After Nd YAG and KTP therapies you should avoid sun exposure. Keeping your skin cool is also a matter of importance for aftercare. This can be achieved by getting exposed to coolers or putting an ice pack on the affected area. You can consult with your doctor in order to use regeneration creams if you want to achieve an earlier result.

Is it effective?

There are several types of laser therapies for skin problems. However, Nd YAG technology is one of the popular ones to treat acne, melasma, skin darkening, vascular lesions and so on. Also, by applying KTP crystals which receive their main frequency from Nd YAG, you can treat your vascular lesions.

Actually, KTP is a crystal for filtrating the Nd YAG waves and decreases the wavelength from 1064 to 532 nanometers.

 

If you ask about the result from the patients having undergone these therapies, you will find out how they got rid of their skin problems without experiencing any specific side effect.
