What is the difference between Nd:Yag and Ktp laser and IPL? Which is better for rosacea/couperose?
May 10, 2014

Dr. Rola Al Dhaybi Dermatology
ND:Yag and KTP are true lasers that have a specific wavelength, IPL is a flashlamp, it is not a laser. The lasers target a certain depth and depending on the type of vessels to be treated they are chosen for treatment. IPL is much milder than lasers and can be used only for white skin types. Sometimes, a combination of laser with IPL can lead to better improvement of rosacea.
