Laser Hair Removal Treatment with Long-Pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser

The multi-purpose Nd:YAG Laser device has introduced a safe and effective solution to remove hair that specifically targets hair follicles using a combination of selective and homogenous photothermolysis.

How does hair removal laser work?

The Nd:YAG laser function leverages on a pulse-control technology and a proprietary 3D treatment pattern, also known as the FRAC3® to provide a safe and effective way to perform hair removal using laser. The laser is equipped with Variable Square Pulse (VSP) technology that enables the laser energy to deeply penetrate the skin to direct thermal energy to the hair follicles without damaging the skin surface. The proprietary VSP pulses create instantaneous temperature increase to the target tissues.


The safety profile of long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 1064nm makes it one of the safest wavelengths to use on most skin types by selectively targeting the hair follicles while leaving surrounding tissues unaffected.

Does this treatment remove my hair permanently?

The success of hair removal depends on several factors such as the patient’s skin and hair type, as well as the settings of the laser machine. Most patients can expect a significant permanent reduction in unwanted hair in the treated area. Any future hair that may still grow will usually be thinner and less noticeable. With repeated treatments, you can expect hair growth to become retarded over time.

How many sessions are required to see hair reduction?

Depending on the size of the treatment area, you can expect that each area needs to undergo between 3 and 6 sessions, 6 weeks apart to achieve significant hair reduction in the treated area.

Is hair removal laser treatment suitable for people with dark skin tone?

Yes, studies have supported the safe and effective use of long-pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG laser irradiation for permanent hair reduction in people with dark skin tone while producing minimal side effects.

Is Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal Treatment Painful?

Before the treatment, the therapist will apply a layer of numbing cream to desensitise the area. This is to ensure that the discomfort that you may feel will be kept to a minimum. During the treatment, you should only feel a warm sensation and it should not be uncomfortable.

Is Nd:YAG Laser hair Removal Treatment Safe?

Yes, the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 1064nm is one of the safest wavelengths to use on most skin types. It selectively targets the hair follicles while leaving surrounding tissues unaffected.

How is Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal Treatment Different from SHR Treatments?

SHR hair removal treatment involves using a technology that emits light in many short pulses. It uses a rapid pulsing diode laser to gently heat the skin. During the treatment, 50% of the energy is absorbed by the melanin and the other 50% targets the follicles that are responsible for hair growth.

On the other hand, laser hair removal laser remains our top choice because it is a suitable platform for all skin types so that it does not cause burns in people with darker skin tones. In addition, laser hair removal can target all types of hair from the thickest to the finest hair on the body. Most importantly, the results of laser hair removal are generally longer-lasting as compared to other modes of hair removal treatments.

How is Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal Treatment Different from IPL Treatments?

Unlike the laser hair removal treatment which uses laser energy (specific wavelength), IPL treatments use light energy at scattered wavelengths to target the melanin in your hair to destroy the hair follicle. Here’s a brief summary of the differences.
