Q-Switched Laser

Procedures With No Or Miminal Downtime

Q-Switched Nd YAG Laser

Our Q-Switched Nd YAG laser is a powerful, multi-platform device that delivers exceptional results. With the addition of advanced treatment modes—including Gold Toning at a 595 nm wavelength, RuVY Touch at 660 nm, and Revital Treatment using a high-powered 1064 nm quasi-long pulse—it offers unmatched versatility for treating a variety of dermatological conditions, all with minimal downtime.

 

The following treatments are performed using the conventional 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths:

Utilising a 5-7 nanosecond pulse width in Q-switched mode, this setting effectively targets a range of pigmentary issues, including melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Our most popular treatment with the Q-Switched Nd YAG laser platform is the Carbon Laser Peel, also known as the Hollywood Peel. This gentle yet powerful procedure deeply exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin, leaving it smooth, radiant, and refreshed – perfect before a special event or as part of a regular skincare regime.

What are the Benefits of a Carbon Peel?

  • Smoother, brighter skin
  • Reduction in acne, comedones, and seborrhoea
  • Improved pore appearance

What Does the Procedure Involve?

  • A thin layer of carbon lotion is first applied to the treatment area.
  • The laser is then passed over the skin in Spectra mode, allowing the carbon to penetrate deeply into the pores.
  • Next, the laser is switched to Q-switched mode and passed over the skin again, effectively removing the carbon layer while simultaneously exfoliating the skin.

 

This gentle, superficial peeling helps to remove excess sebum, unclog pores, stimulate collagen production, and refine pore size. Carbon Peel is a comfortable treatment with no downtime, making it ideal for those seeking refreshed, clearer skin without disruption to their daily routine.

With its combination of high peak power and short pulse width, the laser platform effectively targets and destroys pigment while minimising collateral thermal damage and ensuring minimal downtime.

Expanded Laser Rejuvenation Options with New Treatment Wavelengths

The laser platform now offers an expanded range of skin rejuvenation treatments, thanks to the addition of the following new treatment wavelengths:

As shown in the graph below, the 595 nm wavelength exhibits excellent absorption in oxyhaemoglobin, allowing for deeper penetration into problematic blood vessels associated with inflammatory skin conditions. This makes Gold Toning particularly effective for:
  • Post-acne redness
  • Inflammatory acne
  • Facial flushing
  • Melasma with abnormal dermal vascular activity
Traditionally, epidermal pigmented lesions such as freckles are treated using the 532 nm wavelength. However, the 660 nm wavelength offers a safer alternative due to its lower absorption in both oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin. This allows blood vessels to remain intact post-treatment, significantly reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and associated downtime. RuVY Touch is ideal for:
  • Freckles
  • Epidermal pigmented lesions
This high-powered, quasi-long pulsed 1064 nm mode delivers up to 45 joules per second, effectively stimulating collagen remodelling and enhancing overall skin tone and texture. Revital Treatment is highly effective for:
  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Seborrhoea with enlarged facial pores
  • Inflammatory acne with seborrhoea
