Glass Skin Yellow Glow Laser Malaysia | All You Need To Know
The Yellow Glow Laser is known for its ability to deliver radiant, glowing skin that mimics glass-like skin complexions especially for Asian skin tones. The laser delivers a specific wavelength at 577nm (yellow) that is clinically proven to reduce pigmentation, diminish vascular redness, treat acne, and minimise red facial veins.
Unlike traditional skin rejuvenation lasers, which combine 532nm (green) and 577nm (yellow) wavelengths, Yellow Glow Laser operates precisely at the 577nm wavelength, delivering consistent and stable results.
- Treats vascular conditions, skin redness and inflammation
- Brightens skin for glass-like complexion
- Eliminates bacteria and inflammation from acne
- Non-invasive and painless procedure
How Does Yellow Glow Laser Work?
The 577nm wavelength of the yellow laser is highly effective in targeting both melanin (responsible for pigmentation) and oxyhaemoglobin (found in blood vessels), as demonstrated by the laser absorption graph.
This makes the yellow laser an ideal solution for addressing pigmentation concerns and redness-related conditions, including facial veins, rosacea, and acne.
When Do You Need The 577nm Yellow Wavelength?
Some of the most visible skin imperfections, such as unwanted spots, discolouration, or redness from blood veins, originate from a deeper vascular network that is beyond the reach of traditional skin rejuvenation lasers, especially those operating at 532nm green wavelengths.
The yellow wavelength is able to penetrate and target these deeper layers to treat the most stubborn pigmentation and vascular concerns.
How is Yellow Glow Laser Performed?
At V Medical Clinic, our Yellow Glow Laser treatment begins with two to three laser passes over the entire face. This step targets bacteria, reduces inflammation, and shrinks sebaceous glands to minimise sebum production.
Next, your doctor will fine-tune the laser settings to specifically target red blemishes and active acne. During this stage, you may experience mild sensations, such as small pinpricks or ant bites, which are normal.
The yellow laser light also stimulates collagen production and reduces the size of tiny red blood vessels, resulting in firmer, tighter, and revitalised skin. This comprehensive approach promotes a clear, glowing, and smooth complexion synonymous with the “glass skin” effect.
Why Does Laser Colour Matter?
The colour of the laser plays a crucial role in its effectiveness during skin rejuvenation treatments, especially when targeting blood vessels. The 577nm yellow laser wavelength offers superior absorption for skin rejuvenation compared to the traditional 532nm green wavelength. In fact, the yellow laser provides up to 40% more blood absorption, allowing for reduced power usage during the procedure. This results in several key benefits, including:
- Minimal risk of side effects, such as burns or pigmentation
- Effective treatment of vascular lesions with significantly lower power than 532nm lasers
- Safe treatment of vascular lesions across skin types I–IV
- Ability to simultaneously treat both mid-epidermal melasma and VEGF
- Safe and effective removal of pigmented lesions
These advantages make the 577nm yellow laser an optimal choice for achieving smoother, clearer skin with fewer risks.
What Conditions Can The Yellow Glow Laser Treat?
The benefits of the treatment are numerous, making it a highly appealing choice for various skin concerns:
Skin Pigmentations
The yellow laser’s energy is absorbed by melanin (pigmentation) and underlying blood vessels, effectively breaking down pigments and reducing the blood supply to pigment-producing skin cells. This process helps prevent these cells from creating new pigments, delivering longer-lasting results. Since most pigmentation issues involve multiple types of pigmentation, each requires specific laser settings for effective and comprehensive treatment.
- Freckles
- Sun Spots
- Age Spots
- Melasma
- Birthmarks
Vascular Conditions
Vascular conditions, which cause redness and facial flushing, occur due to the dilation of small superficial blood vessels in the skin. These may appear as red spots or visible thread-like veins on the surface.
The yellow laser is highly effective in targeting blood vessels, helping to reduce redness and promote a more even complexion.
- Facial Blood Vessels
- Rosacea
- Cherry Angiomas
- Telangiectasia
Acne Inflammations
The Yellow Glow Laser effectively targets acne by reducing Propionibacterium acnes bacterial activity. It’s also effective at reducing redness from acne inflammation and shrinks overactive sebaceous glands responsible for excess oil (sebum) production.
Red marks often linger even after the acne has healed. The yellow laser helps diminish these marks by targeting the blood vessels in the affected areas, promoting clearer and more even-toned skin.
Dull Skin Brightening
A skin-brightening effect is more noticeable in individuals with Asian skin tones, especially those with less oil or acne-prone skin. This is due to characteristics of oily skin which tends to dampen laser energy and potentially reducing the laser’s effect.
This results in a more radiant and glowy skin complexion due to improved skin texture, reduced pigmentation and overall clearer and brighter skin.
Is There Any Treatment Downtime?
The Yellow Glow Laser is non-invasive and non-surgical so rest assured, the procedure has received favourable comfort and downtime feedback. Some patients may notice flushing or a slight darkening of the pigment areas immediately after the procedure. This is normal as the pigments are successfully targeted and will subside within a day or two. As for patients who notice reddening, This redness typically subsides within 2 to 24 hours, leaving the skin looking clearer and more even-toned.
Price of Yellow Glow Laser Treatment in Malaysia
The cost of Yellow Glow Laser treatment can vary depending on several factors, including number of sessions required, frequency and treatment areas. Stubborn conditions may required more commitment.
At V Medical Clinic, one session of Yellow Glow Laser is at RM1,000 per session.
