How it Works

The Q-switched laser systems release high energy at very short intervals (in the range of nanoseconds) which means the melanosomes are selectively destroyed thanks to both a thermal and photomechanical effect.

In this way, superficial epidermal lesions (freckles, ephelids, milk-coffee stains, several types of nevi and sun spots), are the easiest to remove without any scarring effect by using relatively short wavelengths such as Q-switched (532n) or pulsed light by selecting the most suitable filter in relation to the skin phototype.

Dermal lesions just like Nevi of Ota, Nevi of Ito and Hori, and Mongolian spots, require a wavelength of 1064 nm for deeper penetration into the skin. In the case of mixed dermal-epidermal lesions it is advisable to treat the epidermal component first and once this has been mitigated, the laser can then be used to penetrate deeper into the dermal component.

Pulsed light has proved to be an extremely effective and versatile instrument for pigmentary rejuvenation, carried out in total safety. It is particularly suitable for treating sun spots and superficial age spots, especially where the skin is thin and delicate such as on the hands or throat. Excellent results can be achieved in just a few patient-friendly sessions.
