The Nd:YAG laser is a medical device designed to treat unwanted or enlarged blood vessels in the skin (telangiectasia) and reduce redness caused by rosacea. It works by targeting the red pigment (haemoglobin) in blood vessels, delivering controlled pulses of energy that heat and collapse the vessel while leaving the surrounding skin intact. Over time, the treated vessels are naturally reabsorbed by the body.
