While lasers in different forms have been in high demand across a wide range of industries, its use in beauty and dermatology has shown remarkable results. In recent years,Q-Switched YAG Q switch laser have been the core technology in both cosmetic and clinical dermatology practices worldwide. Their rise in prominence stems from a unique combination of scientific innovation, safety, versatility, and patient demand for effective, minimally invasive treatments. From tattoo removal to pigmentation correction and skin rejuvenation, these lasers have transformed dermatologic treatments.
YAG Q switch laser: what is it?
A Q-Switched Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser makes for a high-powered device for dermatologic treatments. The device emits concentrated pulses of laser energy in extremely short durations, typically measured in nanoseconds. This “Q-switching” allows the laser to deliver powerful bursts of energy to target pigments without causing extensive damage to surrounding tissues.
Why the use of YAG Q switch laser has increased?
Effective treatment of pigmented lesions
Their use in the treatment of pigmented lesions gives remarkable results. Whether age spots, freckles, melasma or other spots, they provide effective treatment. The laser targets melanin (the pigment in skin) with precision. At specific wavelengths (commonly 1064 nm and 532 nm), the laser can penetrate deeply and break pigment into tiny particles that the body can naturally remove with minimal inflammation.
Tattoo removal
One of their best uses have come through tattoo removal. As they can operate at multiple wavelengths, they are capable of targeting a wide range of tattoo ink colors, from darker inks to red and oranges.
Safer for a range of skin types
Q-Switched YAG lasers ensure great safety, even for darker skin tones. The 1064 nm wavelength penetrates deep with less melanin absorption in the epidermis, reducing risks like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The result is better, clearer skin.
