Lisa McMahonHOST
So dad, look, for our audible listeners, which are everybody, I think I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago.
Lisa McMahonHOST
So I drew a smiley face on my arm with our laser to show what not to do with the Q-switch ND YAG.
Mike MurphyHOST
Which wavelength?
Lisa McMahonHOST
This was 1064.
Mike MurphyHOST
year.
Lisa McMahonHOST
Oh, that could be part of our horror stories next year, depending on how it goes, I suppose.
Lisa McMahonHOST
Right, so a horror story that I've recently seen on social media has been on one of the many laser tattoo removal forums on Facebook.
Lisa McMahonHOST
And basically, it was somebody saying, this has been my sixth session ever.
Jack DalyGUEST
And it wasn't until we were medevaced down in San Antonio, Texas, a few days later, and examined by the U.S. Army Medical Research Detachment laser bio-effects experts, that it was determined that I had been hit multiple times in both eyes, and Pat had been hit multiple times in his right eye.
Jack DalyGUEST
So the suspect weapon was called a neodymium YAG, Y-A-G, which stands for yttrium aluminum garnet, laser that fires thousands of pulses a second.
Jack DalyGUEST
So it was like we were hit with a machine gun fire from an automatic weapon.
Jack DalyGUEST
The hard part was that the people who were the experts were questioned.
Jenae CiuffredaGUEST
So Orlaase is the technique.
Jenae CiuffredaGUEST
The laser is the Fotona LightWalker, and it's working with an Nd:YAG, neodymium YAG laser that is a 1064 wavelength.
Jenae CiuffredaGUEST
Um, that's a lot of technical stuff-
Bethany McDanielHOST
Yeah.
Jason MartinHOST
Yeah
AmyHOST
And I would, I would zap it with a YAG.
Jason MartinHOST
Oh, thanks Amy.
Jason MartinHOST
Thanks.
AmyHOST
Usually not on the face, though
Jason MartinHOST
... you can also do...
Jason MartinHOST
I'm trying to think, like erbium YAG.
Jason MartinHOST
There's, there's some more powerful lasers than IPL, which is just like a light, real strong light laser.
Michael A. PikosHOST
And you mentioned laser.
Michael A. PikosHOST
Um, um, I know y- thanks to you, you know, we got involved with the, the, the only laser that's available with dual wavelengths, and that's the Fotona laser, erbium YAG and Nd YAG.
Michael A. PikosHOST
So if you could maybe say a few words with regard to that application, along with your, uh, in terms of your facial a- aesthetic, um, uh, work.
Richard MironGUEST
Yeah, I think, you know, lasers are an amazing thing, as you know.
Michael DavisHOST
It isn't the old cataract coming back.
Michael DavisHOST
It's a common treatable after effect, often cleared with a quick laser procedure called the YAG capsulotomy.
Michael DavisHOST
Risk factors.
Michael DavisHOST
Age is the big one.
Melissa JanoskiGUEST
... you know, what I love for that is a good session on the Clarity.
Melissa JanoskiGUEST
Um, a Clar- our Clarity laser has a modality of Alex and YAG, and that's actually going to give us a spectrum of treating reds, browns, stimulating collagen, you know, tar- targeting pores, acne, inflammation, and we can tailor that to the exact need that you have.
Mistica LaBrascaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Melissa JanoskiGUEST
You know, so getting something like, I hate to use the word laser facial, but-
Mike MurphyHOST
... um, because we realized that Ruby was-
Lisa McMahonHOST
Nd:YAG.
Mike MurphyHOST
Nd:YAG, yeah.
Lisa McMahonHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike MurphyHOST
The Ruby laser was-
Mike MurphyHOST
... was not so good in darker skin tones.
Lisa McMahonHOST
Yeah.
Mike MurphyHOST
So we then thought, "Well, okay, let's go for the Nd:YAG laser," uh, 1064 and 532.
