Cutera CoolGlide Laser System or the Nd Yag: 1064 for Temple Veins?

Question

What is the difference between Cutera CoolGlide Laser System and the Nd Yag: 1064 for the treatment of blue temple veins? Thanks in Advance

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! The Cutera coolGlide platform has a long pulsed NdYAG 1064 nm laser. It is just a trademarked platform manufactured by Cutera. The skin chromophores targeted by the KTP laser are melanin and oxyhaemoglobin. Nd YAG laser has a wave length of 1064 nm and has the capability to reach deeper layers of skin tissue than other types of lasers. In the Q-switched mode, Nd AG produces 2 wavelengths, one in the infrared range (1064 nm) and a second beam of 532 nm for superficial skin lesions. Best of luck!
