What are Q-SWITCHED LASERS and what do they do?

The Q-switched laser can be used to remove unsightly brown spots, sun freckles, or tattoos from your skin.

Fast, potent energy pulses are known to be transmitted by Q-SWITCHED LASERS. These lasers are particularly successful at removing tattoo ink and brown spots because they burn and destroy skin pigment. Learn more about it with the help of this article.

By releasing the colour into the skin in the form of a billionth of a second laser energy pulse, the Q-switched laser can be used to remove unsightly brown spots, sun freckles, or tattoos from your skin. This allows the pigment to be naturally reabsorbed and eliminated by the body.
The pigmentation colour becomes more intense during the process, and the areas affected by the laser may experience minor swelling or even bruises. After about a week, the pigmentation gradually fades away. The length of the treated portion determines how long the treatment will take and whether anaesthesia is required.

What do they do?

Switched lasers may destroy fungus, break up minute pieces of pigment or ink, promote the creation of collagen, and since they make less direct contact with the skin than other lasers, Q-Switched lasers are noted for neither harming nearby tissue nor having undesirable side effects.
Tattoo removal, onychomycosis (toenail fungus) treatment, pigmented lesions like age spots, sun spots, birthmarks, freckles, moles, and café-au-lait spots, vascular lesions like spider veins, telangiectasias, angiomas, and port wine stains, and skin rejuvenation are just a few of the conditions that can be treated or improved with switched lasers.
