HOW Q-SWITCH LASER WORKS

HOW Q-SWITCH LASER WORKS

The q-Switch Nd:YAG laser emits high energy light towards the affected area, helping to reduce the number of unwanted skin cells. This then allows skin to begin the generation of new cells to replace the old ones. In q-Switch mode, the laser produces two wavelengths with one being specifically used to target and address skin lesions. The laser is able to penetrate deeply without injuring the top layer of skin and also aids the skin’s production of collagen and vital proteins which are essential for healthy and youthful skin.

It is a relatively painless and swift treatment that is suitable for all types of skin. Helping to lighten the tone of your skin, this laser procedure will also help to address your complexion, resulting in fairer and smoother skin. The q-Switch Nd:YAG laser is also used around the world by many aesthetic doctors as its versatility and safety makes it a popular option.
