Q Switch Laser

| A Q-Swicth laser ( quality—switched laser) is a laser that emits short, high power pulse;Q-swicthing also known as giant pulse formation, allows a laser to produce a pulsed beam of light. The technique produces light pulses with very high power much higher than would be produced by the same laser operating in a constant continuous wave mode.Q-switching allows lower pulse repetition rates, higher pulse energies and longer pulse durations.Q-switched lasers have become recognized largely as the gold standard for most laser tattoo removal because they more effectively break up the ink into particles which can then be eliminated by the patient’s own immune system.
Q-switched and other pulsed lasers are also useful for laser hair removal and the removal/reduction oh Hyperpigmentation,as well as for vascular lesions such as cosmetically undesirable broken blood vessels, spider nevi and hemangiomas. |
