Q-Switched Nd Yag Laser
Consistent Results from the Industry’s Work Horse

The Q-Switch laser represents a new standard for the treatment of
pigmented lesions.
What is an Nd: YAG Laser? Nd: YAG is short for neodymium doped
yttrium garnet. Nd: YAG is a term used to differentiate the
many types of lasers and specifically refers to the type of high powered
laser energy produced by the laser head that is delivered
through the machine’s hand piece.

Usually Nd: YAG is delivered through a 1064nm or a 532nm wavelength

Lasers used in aesthetic treatments can target:

1. Chromophore (Melanin)
2. Hemoglobin (Blood)
3. Water

Q-SWITCH

What is a Q-switch Laser? Q-switching is the process of creating a sudden burst of energy in the form of a pulsed output beam that has high peak power, lower pulse repetitions and longer pulse duration’s. It’s like producing energy in a sudden burst instead of a continuous wave.

Imagine tipping a dump truck filled with sand all the way up and then opening the door and letting the sand fall out in one quick motion. The energy produced from the sand is much higher than if the door was opened and the truck was slowly tipped back. This sudden peak power is what gives the ability to treat pigmented lesions and tattoos much more effectively than a non Q-switched device.

The Q-Switch targets chromophore or melanin and is used extensively to target pigment and pigmented lesions in the skin. Since its debut, it has set a new benchmark for all Q-Switch Nd: YAG lasers with its patented technologies.
