Beyond Customary Paradigm: FRAC3® Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, but at the same time its absorption in hair follicles is strong enough to destroy them. In addition, when coupled with air cooling and scanner technology, next-generation VSP Nd:YAG devices provide the best possibilities to adjust treatment parameters to fit individual cases. They thus provide optimized treatment efficacy while protecting epidermis from unwanted damage. In this paper we report on FRAC3® the latest, self-induced fractional, treatment modality that even further improves safety, efficacy and patient comfort of the VSP Nd:YAG in laser hair removal.

Hair Removal on Indian Skin
Among many light sources currently available in the market for hair reduction, 1064 nm Nd:YAG has proved to be the safest for dark skin types like Fitzpatrick types IV and V, which are the most common in India. Large laser spots with long laser pulse durations have traditionally been used for hair reduction. This technique, although efficient, is also associated with patient discomfort and pote...
متن کاملFRAC3: Three Dimensional Non-Ablative Fractional Laser Skin Rejuvenation
A novel self-induced non-ablative threedimensional fractional FRAC3 method for skin 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 damage islands located predominantly at the sites of skin imperfections. Thermal m...
متن کاملSystematic review (Meta-analysis) of clinical trials on hair removal Lasers
Background: The theory of selective photo-thermolysis led to the development of a variety of different laser systems which range from the shorter spectrum of 694nm ruby laser to the middle with the 755nm alexandrite and 810nm diode lasers to the long end with the 1064nm (Nd:YAG) laser. Objective: A systematic review on the clinical trials with use of various laser sources for hair removal...
متن کاملHair removal using an Nd:YAG laser system.
Laser emission from neodymium-doped glass was first produced nearly 40 years ago. Later, a crystal of yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (YAG) was discovered to be a better lasing host for neodymium. The Nd:YAG laser has since been used for a variety of medical applications, more recently, this instrument has been used for the purpose of damaging hair follicles to epilate unwanted hair. This article...
