Wavelengths of light used for venous laser therapy (skin surface)

Potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) lasers emit light at a wavelength of 532 nm. Long pulse dye lasers (PDL) emit light of 595 nm. Diode lasers emit light at a wavelength of 800 or 900 nm. Alexandrite lasers emit light at a wavelength of 755 nm. Neodymium-doped:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers emit light at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Intense pulsed light sources (IPLS) are not lasers. These devices emit light in a range of wavelengths from 500 to 1000 nm simultaneously, with each wavelength emitted at a different intensity.
