what is Q-Switched Nd Yag lasers?
- Q-Switched Nd Yag lasers are the most ideal device for effectively removing multi-colored tattoos. Most of tattoos are created by injecting colored pigment into small deep holes made in the skin.
Multi-wavelength ( 1064 nm , 532 nm and Optional 585 nm and 650 nm) , Q-Switched Nd Yag laser systems with frequency-doubled KTP are uniquely able to produce very short pulses of laser light that pass harmlessly through the top layers of skin to be selectively absorbed by treatment-specific pigments.
Regardless of whether a tattoo professional or an untrained individual injects the pigment, the shape , design and marks are relatively permanent.
- Technology in operation
- Tattoo ink and natural pigmentation like melanin absorb short pulse duration/high peak energy Q-switched pulses so quickly that they create a photo-acoustic effect within the pigment clusters.
This effect breaks down the ink into much smaller particles that can be more easily removed by the body's natural filtering system.
- Advantages for physicians
- • Easy to operation , simple to change between wavelengths
• Also able to treat dermal pigmented lesions such as nevus of Ota
- Advantages for patients
- • Minimal risk of side effects after operation
• High Effective treatment for dark tattoo inks (black, blue and green)
• Dramatic results after several treatments
