DERMALAG
is a Q-switched, frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser. DERMALAG supports
all the basic cosmetic applications including tattoo removal,
pigmented lesion removal and vascular lesion treatment. The 1064
nm (infrared) wavelength of DERMALAG is used in the removal of
dark-ink tattoo. Since there is comparatively low absorption by
melanin at the longer wavelength, a significantly lower risk of
hypopigmentation exists at 1064 nm in comparison to other lasers
in the 600-800-nm range. Additionally, the short pulse width (20
ns) reduces the risk of scarring by limiting the tissue exposure
to heat build-up.
The 1064 nm (infrared) wavelength with energy
fluences of 40-12 J/cm2 is extremely successful in the
treatment of dermal melanocytosis such as nevus of Ota and
aberrant Mongolian spots.
The 532 nm (green) wavelength is ideally suited
for the removal of red tattoo ink. Significant red ink removal may
be achieved with one treatment at 532 nm at fluences of 5 J/cm2.
The 532 nm (green) wavelength with fluences of
2-5 J/cm 2 has a significant application in the removal
of vascular lesions and epidermal pigmented lesions.
