YAG lasers are versatile and can treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

Pigmented lesions: such as age spots, sunspots, freckles, and melasma.

Vascular lesions: like spider veins, port-wine stains, and hemangiomas.

Hair removal: for unwanted hair on various body areas.

Skin rejuvenation: to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and improve skin texture.

Tattoo removal: for both professional and amateur tattoos.

Most people experience a mild snapping or stinging sensation during the treatment, which can be compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. The level of discomfort can vary depending on the individual's pain tolerance, the area being treated, and

 the specific settings used. Some YAG laser systems have built-in cooling mechanisms to help minimize discomfort. Topical numbing creams may also be used prior to treatment for added comfort.   

The recovery time depends on the specific condition treated and the intensity of the laser used. Generally, you can expect some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area for a few hours or days. For pigmented lesions, you might notice the treated spots darkening initially before they flake off within a week or two. For hair removal, you might experience some temporary redness and swelling around the hair follicles. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, which may include avoiding sun exposure,

 using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen regularly.
