Yellow Laser is regarded as the gold standard for treating vascular conditions like redness and rosacea, as well as pigmentation, acne, and acne scars.
Also known as the Glass Skin Laser, Yellow Laser is renowned for its ability to brighten the skin and promote a more even complexion, making it an ideal choice for achieving clearer, glowing skin.
Yellow Laser works by emitting light at a specific wavelength of 585 nm, which is absorbed by haemoglobin in blood vessels and melanin in pigmented areas of the skin. The energy from the laser causes coagulation and shrinking of the targeted blood vessels, reducing redness and vascular conditions like rosacea. It also breaks down excess melanin, lightening pigmented spots and promoting a more even skin tone. This process results in clearer, brighter skin with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
Compared to traditional green lasers with a 532 nm wavelength, the Yellow Laser’s 585 nm wavelength offers greater penetration, nearly doubling the depth, making it more effective for treating deeper vascular conditions and pigmentation issues. Additionally, the Yellow Laser has 50% less melanin absorption, making it safer for use on various skin types, particularly darker skin, by reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and other side effects.
Yellow laser is highly effective in treating vascular conditions such as facial redness, rosacea, facial veins, Telangiectasia (spider veins) and cherry angiomas. The laser light is absorbed by haemoglobin and the energy from the laser causes the targeted blood vessels to coagulate and shrink, reducing visible redness and improving skin tone.
Yellow Laser is highly effective in treating pigmentation issues such as sunspots, age spots, melasma, and freckles. The laser light is absorbed by melanin, and the energy from the laser breaks down the melanin into smaller particles, lightening the pigmented areas and resulting in a more even complexion.
Yellow Laser emits light that destroys the acne-causing bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), helping to prevent future breakouts. It also shrinks the sebaceous glands and reduces the redness and inflammation associated with acne.
Additionally, Yellow Laser improves acne marks, known as post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), by targeting the blood vessels in the affected areas. It stimulates collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and gradually reduces the appearance of acne marks over time.
Yellow Laser promotes skin brightening and helps achieve a radiant, glowing complexion. It works by targeting pigmentation and vascular concerns while stimulating collagen production to enhance skin elasticity and smooth out fine lines and imperfections. This process promotes a more even skin texture and a luminous, healthy glow.

Yellow Laser treatments are generally well-tolerated, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild tingling or prickling feeling. While individual pain thresholds vary, the procedure is designed to be comfortable, with minimal discomfort experienced during the session.
Topical numbing creams are applied before treatment to enhance comfort. For those concerned about pain, discussing concerns with the practitioner beforehand can help ensure a positive experience.
Yellow Laser treatments in Singapore are associated with very few side effects, thanks to their non-invasive nature. Some patients may experience temporary redness and swelling which typically resolves within 2-3 days. Itchiness or discomfort may also occur, but these can be managed with topical treatments or over-the-counter pain relievers. Adhering to the guidelines provided by the treating professional can minimize these risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
Aftercare following Yellow Laser treatment is crucial to ensure optimal results and minimize side effects. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen, and keep the treated area moisturized.
Additionally, it’s important to avoid intense exercise for at least a few days after the treatment, as strenuous physical activity can increase blood flow to the treated area, potentially leading to increased redness, swelling, or even bleeding.
The use of gentle skincare products and the avoidance of harsh exfoliants or active ingredients are recommended during the recovery period to help reduce skin irritation. Adhering to the practitioner’s aftercare instructions can help maintain the treatment’s benefits and prolong the results.
The longevity of Yellow Laser results varies based on individual skin types and conditions. Patients typically notice immediate improvements in skin texture and tone after treatment. However, to maintain these results, a series of treatments is recommended, along with periodic maintenance sessions tailored to individual skin concerns and goals.
While the results of Yellow Laser are long-lasting, maintaining good skincare habits is essential for optimal results:
