For more than a thousand years, doctors from different countries have been actively using light in the treatment of a variety of diseases. But the beginning of the development of laser medicine as a separate area should be considered the mid-twentieth century, when an optical quantum generator was discovered. At the moment, the neodymium laser is considered to be the newest invention in laser medicine. It is now very widely used in a wide variety of cosmetic procedures, such as hair removal, acne therapy, removal of scarred skin changes, tattoos and blood vessels. The use of a neodymium laser will help solve all the above problems quickly and efficiently.
What is special about a neodymium laser?
The neodymium laser (abbreviated Nd:YAG, which means Nd-neodymium, YAG-aluminum-ytrium garnet) in the three-wave Magic 3 installation is classified as a non-ablative laser.
The neodymium laser has a wavelength of 1064 nm. All mechanisms of action of a laser beam in a neodymium laser are based on the process of selective photothermolysis. In other words, its impulse affects only certain tissues, causing a controlled burn inside them, that is, only target cells are selectively damaged, and the surface of the skin is not destroyed.
Targets for a neodymium laser are: hemoglobin of dilated vessels, melanin of age spots, tattoo dyes, “old” collagen, microbial cells that cause acne.
Thus, using a neodymium laser you can solve the following problems:
- treatment of vascular pathologies;
- acne treatment;
- removal of age spots and tattoos;
- removal of unwanted hair of any color
- skin rejuvenation;
- leveling out rough red scars.
When the laser acts on scar tissue, the vascular component is also completely destroyed, which prevents the supply of necessary nutrients to it. All this leads to a reduction in the size of the scar and makes it more invisible.
A feature of the neodymium laser is also its ability to penetrate deep into the skin, hitting its targets at a depth of up to 5.5 mm, which other non-ablative lasers cannot. This ability allows the neodymium laser to affect the entire thickness of the skin, selectively destroying blood vessels and pigments, giving the skin a uniform color and a fresh look.

Hair removal with neodymium laser
Laser hair removal is considered the most modern means for quick, painless, and most importantly, long-term removal of unwanted hair on any part of the body. Neodymium laser is effective for hair removal of any color and any skin phototype.
In the process of hair removal using this laser, only the vascular component that nourishes the hair root is affected, and not the pigments, as is the case with other laser beams. That is why it is used for hair removal of blond and red hair.
Unfortunately, even a neodymium laser will not get rid of unwanted hair once and for all in one procedure. This is explained by the fact that the laser beam can only affect hair follicles that are in the active phase. And each follicle constantly alternates between phases of activity and “sleep”. Therefore, you need to tune in to at least six procedures to get an ideal result.
How to prepare
If you are planning to remove hair using a neodymium laser, then before undergoing the procedure you should fulfill several requirements. Firstly, in the area that will become the object of attention of the cosmetologist, it is necessary to grow hair by about 3-5 mm, that is, we must exclude any method of hair removal approximately two weeks before the procedure. also undesirable to sunbathe heavily , but otherwise preparation for FT laser hair removal is not necessary.
At your first meeting with a cosmetologist, you need to be prepared for a detailed story
about all your existing diseases, listing medications that you either regularly take or have recently been prescribed to you.
This is the only way a specialist will be able to determine as accurately as possible whether you have contraindications to undergoing laser hair removal.
Important!
Before the procedure, you should not use any body care products in the areas of future hair removal, otherwise you risk getting burned.
Neodymium laser rejuvenation
The neodymium laser perfectly eliminates minor defects and imperfections on the skin, such as age spots, scars, acne, spider veins, and also provides its rejuvenation. All of the above procedures are carried out very quickly and absolutely painlessly, and the result exceeds all expectations.
It does not damage the skin, but penetrating into its deep layers, the laser beam has an activating effect on cell division processes, which explains its rejuvenating effect. The laser accelerates antioxidant reactions, normalizes cell activity, and also destroys accumulations of melanocytes (cells with a high pigment content), narrows the cavities of dilated vessels and has a stimulating effect on the formation of young elastin and collagen. After a photorejuvenation procedure performed with a laser, the appearance of the skin significantly improves, its local immunity increases, that is, resistance to various infections, and unwanted formations such as acne, rosacea and spider veins gradually disappear.
The duration of one laser rejuvenation procedure is only thirty minutes. Experts recommend immediately completing a full course of therapy, consisting of eight procedures to consolidate the result. The rejuvenation effect of a neodymium laser lasts up to two years.
Neodymium laser reviews
“Many thanks to cosmetologist Vasnina K.M. for the procedure of laser lip hair removal using a neodiomium laser. As promised, after 2 weeks the skin was in perfect condition. Thank you for your attention and beauty."

Why are Nd:YAG laser procedures popular among patients?
The neodymium laser system provides:
- no traces after treatment (short-term redness of the skin is possible);
- painlessness of the procedure;
- speed of execution (15-30 minutes);
- obvious result (noticeable after the first few sessions of the course);
- lack of a rehabilitation period as such (the patient can return to everyday activities almost immediately).
Removal of permanent makeup and tattoos
This procedure is highly effective and suitable for any skin phototype. The Magic 3 laser has the ability to generate three beams, each of which removes a different pigment. For example, neodymium infrared ray eliminates black and blue colors. The green beam effectively removes red, orange and yellow. And a yellow diode beam is good for removing blue pigments.
During the procedure, the laser acts on the pigment, causing the pattern to gradually fade. The number of sessions depends on the skin type and the severity of the tattoo or permanent makeup. In the case of small drawings made in one color, two or three procedures are enough to completely remove them. If tattoos occupy a large surface of the body, then seven to eight sessions may be necessary.
Acne treatment with neodymium laser
Acne-related problems mainly occur among teenagers, but older adults often also suffer from acne. Acne not only brings a lot of discomfort, but also leaves behind unpleasant skin changes such as scars or spots. Various creams and ointments do not completely eliminate this problem, so the most effective remedy in this case is the use of a neodymium laser. During the treatment, the laser beam acts on an area of skin, increasing its temperature. As the temperature level increases, those microorganisms that, by multiplying, lead to the development of acne, begin to die. The ability of the laser to seal dilated vessels leads to the disappearance of red spots. After a couple of procedures, you can notice a narrowing of pores and elimination of acne, and after the end of the course, post-acne scars disappear.
For the best effect, it is recommended to carry out about ten laser therapy procedures.
How many procedures will be required
It is clear that it is impossible to achieve 100% effectiveness after one procedure, so many people are interested in the question: how many are needed? First of all, do not forget that each case is unique and it is very difficult to answer unambiguously, but on average, the course of removing unnecessary hair with a neodymium laser is 4-8 procedures.
At the same time, for men with hormone-dependent areas of the body, as well as for women who suffer from hypertrichosis or hirsutism, this number of procedures may not be enough.
Immediately after the first session, you will get rid of 30% of hair (this is exactly the number of hairs that are actively growing at a particular point in time), and after 2-5 procedures their number will decrease by 50-60%. After 6-8 sessions of neodymium laser therapy, 95% of dark hairs and 80% of light or gray hairs will be removed from the area of interest.
The growth of hair on the body is stable and cyclical.
That is, periods of active hair growth are followed by periods of rest, when the hair is in the follicle, but its growth is suspended, or when one hair has already fallen out and the other has not yet begun to grow. Considering that laser hair removal only destroys follicles at the active stage of growth, one procedure will solve practically nothing. Find out more about how often laser hair removal should be done. Did you know?
Hair color directly affects the amount of hair. Scientists have proven that red-haired people have about 80 thousand hairs on their heads, black-haired people have about 100 thousand, and blondes have an average of 120 thousand. A certain interval must be maintained between laser hair removal sessions. For example, about 6-8 weeks should pass after the first session, about 8-10 weeks after the second, etc.
Simply put, with each subsequent session the duration of this period increases by two weeks.
This time interval explains why the full course of removing unwanted vegetation from a particular area of the body most often takes about one year.
Removing pigment spots
During the removal of pigment spots, a neodymium laser generates a powerful pulse. It is he who, almost instantly, destroys the dark pigment, while cleansing the skin. The procedure is considered absolutely safe, since only those areas of the skin that contain an excess amount of pigment are destroyed, while healthy cells remain immune to the effects of the laser. The number of procedures directly depends on the severity of pigment accumulations that need to be removed. Moreover, the deeper the pigment is localized, the more procedures will be required to completely remove it.
This procedure does not cause any pain. The only thing the patient will feel is a slight warmth in the area where the laser beam is applied. After treatment is completed, small areas of redness may remain on the skin for several hours, which goes away without a trace.
Thus, we can safely say that the neodymium laser is the most modern and effective tool designed to solve quite serious problems in cosmetology medicine, without causing any negative impact on the human body. This is why many people choose this type of laser to solve aesthetic problems.
Beautiful, clean, young skin without any imperfections becomes a reality, thanks to the latest laser technologies and the high professionalism of the specialists of the Abrielle clinic.
Operating principle
Neodymium laser rejuvenation involves the use of Cynosure technology. It is designed to create a strong laser pulse. A specific feature of the effect is that the tissues around the treated part of the body are not affected, which means that their accidental damage is excluded.
Using a neodymium laser, you can normalize the condition of blood vessels and tone the skin. The event allows you to synthesize new fibroblasts, influencing the structure of collagen molecules. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin becomes elastic, the color is healthy, and the pores become normal in size.
