What Q switched Nd Yag laser can do
How do lasers remove unwanted skin pigment?
Q switched Nd Yag laser produces a light of specific wavelength. This laser light, when directed into the skin, is absorbed by pigmented skin lesions. The light will shatter the melanin pigment into micro particles. These micro particles are naturally carried away by the blood stream and eventually removed from the body. The skin pigmentation is then lightened after a few sessions.

It’s essential to consult with a qualified doctor to determine the best approach and ensure safety throughout the process.
Ideal candidates for laser pigmentation removal are individuals with hyperpigmentation issues such as sunspots, freckles, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The treatment is suitable for various skin types, but those with darker skin tones may require special laser settings to avoid complications.
