Is Pro Yellow Laser Treatment Better Than Other Lasers?
The Pro Yellow Laser treatment has been around for about 8 years and has become one of the most popular laser treatments for treating redness, rosacea, and pigmentation.
It’s been called the glass skin laser due to the way it gently brightens the complexion without inflammation, using a 577nm wavelength of yellow light to precisely target any pigmentation and vascular issues underneath the skin.
If you’ve been confused about whether traditional lasers like IPL or Pro Yellow Laser treatment are for you, then this article will help you make an informed decision.
What Is Pro Yellow Laser Therapy?
The Pro Yellow Laser treatment uses a specific yellow light wavelength at 577nm, which precisely targets melanin and haemoglobin in the skin. It’s highly effective for conditions such as rosacea, pigmentation, and melasma.
The main difference with Pro Yellow Laser treatment in comparison to other lasers is that it uses focused and controlled energy with minimal irritation, unlike traditional laser treatments, which often use more heat energy and multiple wavelengths.
What Is The Glass Skin Laser?
The ability of the Yellow Laser treatment to create a clear and smooth complexion has earned it the name glass skin laser. Glass skin is a popular recent Korean skincare trend where you can achieve a poreless glow to your complexion using Korean products. Due to the gentler nature of the Pro Yellow Laser treatment, it achieves this by heating and repairing pigmentation particles under the skin.
Pro Yellow Laser Vs Traditional Lasers
The most traditional lasers are KTP, Pulsed Dye Lasers, and Nd: YAG. While these lasers are very effective for treating pigmentation and other skin conditions, they are more aggressive, which can cause more inflammation post-treatment, especially in darker skin tones.
Unlike traditional lasers, the Yellow Laser treatment stands out due to its ability to treat pigmentation and redness at the same time across all skin tones, thanks to its precise nature, causing less inflammation around the area post-treatment.
What Is The 577nm Wavelength?
The 577nm wavelength has been scientifically proven to treat blood vessels and pigmentation. The wavelength is precisely at the peak absorption rate of haemoglobin and melanin, helping break down visible capillaries and pigmentation particles without damaging surrounding tissue.
It’s the sweet spot between being powerful enough for treatment and gentle enough for all skin types.
Benefits Of The Pro Yellow Laser Treatment
Many clients choose our Yellow Laser treatment at Hannah London due to the following –
- It targets multiple concerns, from rosacea to acne scars.
- Suitable for all skin tones.
- Gentle but effective.
- Minimal downtime for a few hours.
- Long-lasting.
Pro Yellow Laser Treatment Vs IPL
IPL, also known as Intense Pulsed Light, uses a broad spectrum of light to treat pigmentation and redness. Although IPL is effective, it is much less suited to darker skin tones and sensitive skin types since it uses more heat energy and isn’t as precise as Pro Yellow Laser treatment.
Compared to IPL, the Pro Yellow Laser treatment precisely targets pigmentation and blood vessels, causing less inflammation, quicker downtime, and a lower chance of rebound pigmentation.
What Can Yellow Laser Treatment Treat?
Pro Yellow Laser treatment can treat a variety of concerns, such as –
- Rosacea
- Pigmentation and melasma
- Spider veins
- Acne marks
- Uneven tone
- Sun damage and age spots
Is There Downtime for Yellow Laser?
Most of our clients only experience a few hours of redness after having Pro Yellow Laser treatment, making it one of the top choice laser treatments for minimal downtime.
It’s important to apply SPF daily after treatment and limit harsh sun exposure and heat as your skin heals. Most of our clients notice a brighter complexion after one to two sessions only.
