The laser can be used to rejuvenate many areas of the body including the face, neck, chest, and back.

​

The Q-switched laser, also known as ND YAG Laser, uses laser beam energy in nanosecond pulses to break down excess pigmentation. The body’s immune system will slowly remove the shattered melanin. Q-switched ND YAG laser has a specific wavelength of 532nm and 1064nm applied to the skin and absorbed by coloured pigments such as melasma, pigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, freckles age spots and etc., in the skin. Depending upon individual patient skin conditions and the treatment objectives, the power settings can be calibrated for laser wavelength precision.

 

For more aggressive treatment of advanced photodamage, a physician can change the settings of the Q-Switch laser. After this one-time procedure, the skin will appear slightly red, like sunburn, for a few days.

Moreover the Q-Switch laser’s energy also targets the building blocks of healthy skin, stimulating new collagen growth to replenish the collagen we lose as we age.​
