Targeted Treatment for Vascular and Deeper Skin Concerns

Nd:YAG laser treatment is designed to address vascular concerns, deeper pigmentation, and overall skin clarity by delivering energy beneath the surface of the skin.

This treatment allows for precise targeting of deeper structures, making it an effective option for redness, visible vessels, and certain pigment concerns.

A Targeted Approach to Skin Clarity

Not all skin concerns originate at the surface.

Nd:YAG laser technology allows us to treat deeper layers of the skin, helping to:

  • Reduce visible blood vessels
  • Improve redness and vascular concerns
  • Address deeper pigmentation
  • Enhance overall skin clarity

This makes it an important part of a comprehensive skin treatment strategy.

What It Treats

  • Facial redness
  • Broken capillaries
  • Rosacea-related vascular concerns
  • Certain deeper pigmentation
  • Overall skin clarity

Benefits

  • Targets deeper vascular structures
  • Improves skin tone and clarity
  • Minimally invasive with little downtime
  • Safe for a range of skin types
  • Can be used on face and body

How It Works

The Nd:YAG laser delivers controlled energy into the deeper layers of the skin, where it selectively targets blood vessels and pigment.

This process:

  • Causes targeted vessels to collapse and fade
  • Reduces visible redness
  • Improves overall skin tone

Over time, the skin appears clearer and more even.

Treatment Protocol

Nd:YAG treatments are typically performed as a series, depending on the severity of the concern.

Your provider will determine the number of sessions needed based on your goals and skin condition.

What to Expect

Treatment is performed in-office and is generally well tolerated.

You may experience:

  • Mild redness
  • Temporary warmth in the treated area

Most patients return to normal activities immediately following treatment.

Nd:YAG vs. IPL vs. Resurfacing

These treatments address different types of skin concerns and are often used together.

  • Nd:YAG Laser → targets deeper vascular concerns and redness
  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) → treats pigmentation and superficial sun damage
  • CoolPeel CO₂ → improves surface texture, tone, and fine lines
  • Tetra Deka CO₂ Resurfacing → provides deeper resurfacing and correction

Your provider will recommend the most appropriate treatment—or combination of treatments—based on your skin concerns.

I had a great experience with Dr. Kim!!! He did his best to make me feel comfortable during the procedure and explained the whole process to me beforehand. The entire staff were also so nice! You can tell they all get along and have a great work culture. Sally R.
I love this office . First and foremost Dr. Kim has the most kind, heart warming staff working with him. Secondly, I have had several consultations with Dr. Kim regarding procedures that I am considering. During the consults he really takes time to understand my needs and give honest advice along with visuals of what I would like to achieve. His work is so precise to what I aim to achieve and is totally on point 💯 to satisfaction. Dr. Kim and his staff are vextremly friendly, patient and professional. I am definitely becoming a regular here. Must try the Diamond glow facial and other skin rejuvenating procedure! Nikki P.
I really enjoyed my visit to Dr. Kim’s office. From the moment that I walked in, the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Dr. Kim is very educated and easy to talk to. He really took the time to listen and to try to make sure you knew what would be best for you. Another bonus is he brings his cute little dog to the office with him. I would100% recommend him and his staff. Pam K.
Visiting Dr.Kim’s office has been a wonderful experience thus far. His staff makes me feel happy and assured at every visit. Of course, the man of the hour has always been calm, humble and tends to humor me at every comment and answers every question that has came up in our visits. I believe I have made the right choice to receive Dr. Kim’s medical expertise as being under his hands, he has been gentle during the operation as well as produced excellent results. (Biggest plus, I have never felt rushed under his care lol you’re the bomb Dr. Kim!!!! Jennifer C.
After interviewing several physicians I decided to go with Dr. Kim. Professionalism is extremely important to me but so is the character of the physician, the attitude, and personality. He made me feel comfortable, he was confident but not arrogant. I trusted his expertise and I was not disappointed. Thank you Dr. Kim! Judy G.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kim for Asian eyelid surgery (upper eyelid blepharoplasty)!!! My results turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Kim really took the time to listen to me and what I wanted. Together, we carefully planned out where the eyelid crease would be, and it is exactly where we had planned! I also had a quick and somehow painless recovery, which I’m sure much of that can be owed to his excellent surgical technique. I feel so much more beautiful and confident after this surgery. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner in life. Thank you, Dr. Kim, for quite literally changing my life, and thank you to his wonderful staff who made this such a pleasant and efficient experience! JA
