KTP laser treatment uses a Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) laser, which emits green light with a wavelength of 532 nanometres. This medical procedure is particularly effective because of the precision with which the laser can target specific skin problems without damaging surrounding tissue.
Applications of KTP laser treatment:
KTP laser treatment is ideal for people with the following skin conditions:
The KTP laser, with green light of 532 nanometers, offers a precise and effective treatment for skin problems. This technology specifically targets pigments and blood vessels without damaging the surrounding tissue. It works through thermal heating, which breaks down pigments, treats blood vessels, and stimulates collagen production for skin rejuvenation. The treatment is generally safe, painless, and quick, with minimal recovery time.
Here's how it works:
The laser selectively targets unwanted pigments or blood vessels in the skin. The green light is absorbed by the targeted areas, without damaging surrounding tissue.
Controlled heating of the target area breaks down pigments and blood vessels. This thermal energy also stimulates the production of new collagen, which firms and rejuvenates the skin.
The treatment does not usually require anaesthesia. The laser works quickly and efficiently, with minimal impact on the skin.
After treatment, the skin may show some redness or slight discolouration. Pigment spots may darken temporarily before flaking off. A wart may shrivel up and fall off completely. Most treatments take between a few minutes and half an hour.

As with any medical treatment, side effects may occur. Some possible side effects of KTP laser treatment include:
Before treatment:
The KTP laser works best on fair skin that is not tanned by the sun, tanning bed or self-tanner. 4 weeks before treatment, avoid sunlight and consistently use sunscreen with SPF 50.
After treatment:
Immediately after treatment, some swelling and redness may occur. Therefore, a soothing and moisturising cream is applied immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight for up to 3 months after treatment and always use a sunscreen with SPF 50.
Yes, the KTP laser is considered a safe and effective treatment for addressing specific skin concerns, such as pigmentation spots and dilated blood vessels. The laser works selectively on the target areas without damaging the surrounding tissue, minimizing the risk of complications. When used correctly by a professional, such as at I Care Clinic, the treatment is very safe.
The KTP laser treatment is generally perceived as nearly painless. During the procedure, a slight warm or tingling sensation may be felt, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. This discomfort is usually mild and short-lived. Most patients do not require anesthesia, as the treatment is well tolerated.
