What is Alexandrite laser?
The Alexandrite laser works at a wavelength of 755 nm. This wavelength is especially effective in being absorbed by melanin, making it ideal for treating skin pigmentations such as dark spots. Its mechanism of action is based on selective photothermolysis, which means that it specifically targets melanin without damaging the surrounding tissues.

What is Neodymium (Nd:YAG) laser?
On the other hand, the Neodymium (Nd:YAG) laser uses a wavelength of 1064 nm, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin. It also uses selective photothermolysis, but can reach deeper targets within the skin due to its longer wavelength. This feature enables it to treat vascular lesions such as spider veins, varicose veins, redness, hemangiomas, or ruby spots, among others. Thanks to its ability to penetrate deep into the skin without damaging the surrounding tissues, this laser promotes a significant improvement in the appearance of vascular lesions, offering a more uniform skin free of imperfections.

Nd:YAG treatment results
Both lasers offer non-invasive treatments with relatively short recovery times and are
valued for their effectiveness and versatility. However, it is crucial that these treatments
are performed by qualified professionals to ensure the best results and minimize
potential risks. At Clínica Escoda, our team of highly qualified professionals will
develop a personalized treatment plan and help you determine which of these
technologies is most suitable for your specific case.
