About Pro Yellow Laser Skin Treatments
The main differences between the Pro Yellow and other skin rejuvenation lasers has to do with wavelength and the available pulse duration adjustments of each desired wavelength. In other words, different laser wavelengths (colors of light) target different skin issues. Our skin care professionals at Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center work to match the proper wavelength with the proper pulse durations to achieve the results you desire without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Traditionally, the most commonly used laser wavelength for the treatment of pigmented lesions (such as sun spots & age spots) and vascular lesions (or unsightly veins) has been the 532nm laser, or green laser light.
Green lasers provide very good results in skin types I to III, but 532nm is no longer the ideal wavelength (or color) for targeting vascular lesions for skin types 1-IV.

What should I tell my doctor before getting Pro Yellow?
What should I do before my Pro Yellow treatment?
- Generally little or no pre-treatment is required with the Pro Yellow 577nm. Provider may advise you to avoid tanning of the treatment area for 2 weeks prior to treatment.
- Your provider may recommend a treatment to prepare you for laser therapy. Sometimes a mild bleaching agent is prescribed to lighten the areas that will be treated.
What should I do after my Pro Yellow treatment?
- The area treated with the laser may be red afterward. This will generally fade within 24-48 hours. Some vascular treatments such as leg veins may cause a darkened appearance of the vessels for 7-10 days.
- The treated area can be washed normally with mild soap and water. Wash the area gently with your fingertips. Use of a washcloth or other abrasive instrument is not recommended.
- For the next 3-4 weeks, avoid sun exposure to the treated area. Use of a sunscreen containing an SPF of 30 or higher is recommended.
- Avoid irritants such as products containing glycolic acid or Retin-A for 5-7 days.
- Minor crusting or scabbing of the treated area can occur. Do not rub or pick the scab. After washing with fingertips with a gentle soap, apply an antibacterial ointment to the treated area.
- Pigmented lesions may turn gray or dark after treatment. As the skin heals, in 7-14 days, the spot will slough off. Do not rub or pick the lesion. Antibacterial or moisturizing ointment may be applied to the area as desired.
Please remember that multiple treatments may be required to achieve the optimum result with either vascular or pigmented lesions.
