Clarity Beneath the Surface

The ND Yag laser at Cranley Clinic is an advanced vascular and redness treatment designed to reach deeper layers of skin than traditional IPL. Using a 1064nm wavelength, this technology precisely targets the haemoglobin in unwanted vessels while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. It is particularly effective for facial redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, and thread veins that are resistant to superficial treatments. The laser energy causes targeted blood vessels to coagulate and collapse, after which they are naturally reabsorbed by the body. The Cynosure Elite+ dual wavelength system used at Cranley Clinic is also capable of addressing brown spots, face and leg veins, and general redness – all with minimal downtime and no discomfort. This makes ND Yag an excellent option for patients seeking fast, safe, and visible results.

The Cranley Clinic Process

Specialist Consultation

A detailed consultation assesses your vascular concerns, skin tone, and sensitivity to determine the most appropriate laser parameters.

Target Mapping & Skin Preparation

The affected veins are mapped out, and protective eyewear is provided. Cooling gel or contact cooling is used to protect the epidermis.

ND Yag Laser Application

Precise pulses of 1064nm laser energy are delivered to target the vessels. The light energy is absorbed by the blood, heating and collapsing the vessel walls.

Soothing Recovery Protocol

After treatment, a cooling mask or gel is applied to calm the skin. Redness and warmth typically subside within 24 to 48 hours.

Progress Assessment & Repeat Treatments

Depending on the severity of the veins, a series of one to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart may be recommended for optimal clearance.

Clinical Insight

ND Yag Considerations, Clinically Addressed

Is ND Yag safe for all skin tones?

Yes. Unlike IPL, ND Yag is suitable for darker skin types due to its longer wavelength and deeper penetration. It bypasses melanin in the upper layers, reducing pigmentation risk.

How soon will I see results?

Treated veins may darken slightly before fading over one to three weeks as the body reabsorbs them.

Is there a risk of scarring?

With the correct parameters and professional technique, the risk is extremely low. Cranley Clinic uses conservative, safety-first settings on its Cynosure Elite+ platform.

Can ND Yag treat leg veins too?

Yes. It can safely treat smaller superficial leg veins, though facial vessels typically respond more predictably.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients achieve excellent results after one to three sessions, with improvements visible after the first treatment.

The treatment I had at the Cranley Clinic was excellent. Mr Ali Ghanem is clearly an expert in his field. He also has an exceptionally warm personality which puts you at ease straight away. The treatment is amazing but subtle. Everyone on the Cranley team, whom I met and spoke with at various times, were really lovely; I can highly recommend both the Clinic and of course Mr Ghanem.
