The 1064nm laser is a non-ablative laser — this means that the laser does not remove the top layer of the skin. Instead, the laser targets the underlying skin tissue beneath the top layer of the skin to encourage the skin to naturally produce more collagen. The laser’s energy actually goes through the surface of the skin. While this may seem like a nerve-racking technique, it’s important to note that non-ablative lasers do not damage the surface of the skin. The idea is to make the surface of your skin glow — from the inside out!

If you’re wondering what 1064nm actually stands for, you’re not alone. The laser’s name is derived from the amount of nanometers (hence the abbreviation of nm) that correspond to the laser’s wavelength.

Here are the benefits you can expect from receiving a 1064nm laser facial:

• Non-surgical treatment

• Firmer skin

• Improved skin tone

• Less visible wrinkles and fine lines from aging

• Reduction of noticeable sun damage

• Your body will begin to naturally produce more collagen

• Less acne scarring

• Skin that looks bright and beautiful

This aesthetic treatment can resolve various skincare concerns, including facial redness/rosacea and hyperpigmentation. It is frequently used to treat vascular lesions like spider veins, broken capillaries, and varicose veins as well.
