Q-Switch Nd Yag Lasers Tattoo Removal Pigmented Lesions Vascular Lesions Removal

When patients visit skin clinic to remove birthmarks, moles, hyperpigmentation and tattoos, Skin Institute providers may suggest the use of the Q-Switched ND YAG laser. This laser was designed to target various types of pigment in the skin, and can achieve significant lightening of pigmented lesions and tattoos.

How Does Q-Switched ND YAG Laser work?

The Q-Switched ND YAG laser works by targeting specific pigment in the skin, which targets the damaged skin cells in the treatment area.

When it comes to laser tattoo removal, the Q-Switched ND YAG laser targets ink pigment and breaks it up into smaller particles through powerful bursts of energy. The ink is then absorbed into the blood stream and eventually expelled from the body.

The Q-Switched ND YAG laser utilizes two energy frequencies:

• 1064 nanometers, to target deeper skin layers
• 532 nanometers, to address hyperpigmentation and more superficial layers.

What the Q-Switched ND YAG Laser Treats

Q-Switched ND YAG laser can be utilized for treating pigment-related problems, like moles, freckles and pigmented lesions. And it is also used for laser tattoo removal. It can provide dramatic lightening of most tattoo colors, and tends to be most effective on darker inks. 

Is Q-Switched ND YAG Laser Safe?

The Q-Switched ND YAG laser is a safe procedure, when administered by the expert practitioners.

How Long do Treatment Results Last?

The typical Skin Institute patient will need several treatments with Q-Switched ND YAG laser to achieve optimal outcomes. The number of treatments will depend on the specific issue you are looking to address and the size of the treatment area.

For example, treatment of hyperpigmentation issues, like dark spots caused by sun damage, will typically need fewer sessions than tattoo removal.

What to Expect During Treatment?

Firstly, the practitioner will numb the area with a topical cream or may use a local anesthetic to further reduce discomfort. The patient will also be provided with protective eyewear.

Skin Institute provider should guide the laser across the treatment area, and deliver powerful bursts of energy to break down pigment. Some discomfort is common during this stage, as the laser will cause micro-damage in the skin. However, most patients handle this procedure very well, and the providers shuold work diligently to ensure maximum comfort.
