Q-Switch Laser
Q-SWITCH LASER (QMax)
Q-Switch laser is a pigment-targeting laser that specifically treats various types of pigmentation such as birthmarks, freckles and age spots, and can also remove tattoos. It releases energy at nanosecond speeds that causes the breakdown of pigmentation into small particles. The pigments then proceed through a natural elimination process by the white blood cells which destroys them.
Q-Switch laser is pigment-specific in that it only destroys the undesired pigment and does not damage the surrounding tissues. It not only treats skin pigmentations, but also helps to revitalize the skin by stimulating new collagen.
