Nd:YAG laser (1064nm): - Removal of unwanted hair for stable long term or permanent hair reduction and for treatment of PFB. The laser are indicated on all Skin Types Fitzapatrick 1-VI including tanned skin. - Photocoagulation and hemostasis of pigmented and vascular lesions, such as but not limited to, port wine stains, hemangioma, warts, teleangiectasia, rosacea, venus lake, leg veins and spider veins. - Coagulation and hemostasis od soft tissue. - Benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos, (age spots), solar lentigos (such spots), cafe au lait macules, seborrheic keratosis, nevi, cloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratosis and plaques. - Pigmented lesions to reduce lesion size, for patients with lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments. - Reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar. - Treatment of wrinkles.”	FDA ClearedK122567
