Q-switched laser technology creates high-intensity pulsed beam light. The energy emitted by a Q-switched laser is concentrated into ultra-powerful pulses that last just a billionth of a second each. Because the energy’s contact with the skin is less than other lasers, Q-switched lasers are known for preserving surrounding tissue and a reduced risk of unwanted side effects.

Q-switched lasers can also produce different wavelengths of light, which makes them versatile treatments that can effectively address many conditions. The most popular type of Q-switched laser is Nd:YAG, which emits 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths. This type of laser is prized due to its vast range of applications.

The Q-switched laser excels in the treatment of unwanted pigmentation or tattoo ink. The laser produces short pulses of energy that pass harmlessly through the skin’s top layers and are selectively absorbed by the abnormal pigment. This causes the pigment to shatter into smaller fragments, which can then be cleared away naturally by the body’s immune system.

The Q-switched laser can also be calibrated for anti-ageing and general skin rejuvenation. Under these settings, the benefits of treatment include removing dirt, dead skin cells, excess oil and bacteria for a smoother, clearer and brighter complexion. The laser also heats the deeper skin layers to stimulate new collagen production over time.

Before trеаtmеnt, іt іѕ hіghlу recommended that раtіеntѕ avoid sun exposure and tanning beds. Our doctor or dermal clinician may recommend using a pigment lightening cream prior to the procedure.

Laser Toning: Laser toning treatments with the Q-switched laser involve little discomfort, as the energy setting used is very low. No topical anaesthetic cream is required. Laser rejuvenation can be done in a lunch hour, making it an appealing option for people who cannot take time off work or social engagements to recover.
