Nd:YAG laser

A type of laser that works at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Its long-pulsed form is among the options that stand out most in the scientific literature for laser hair removal in dark skin, because this wavelength is absorbed relatively little by melanin. Its Q-switched form is used to treat dark spots.
