About Q Switch Nd YAG Laser

Nd YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) is a crystal commonly used in solid-state laser systems. In this structure, the neodymium ions (Nd³⁺) act as the active laser medium, replacing a small percentage of yttrium ions due to their similar size. These dopant ions are responsible for the laser’s energy output. Operating primarily at a wavelength of 1064 nm, the Nd:YAG laser is capable of penetrating deeper layers of skin tissue, making it ideal for targeting underlying concerns. When operated in Q-switched mode, the laser emits two specific wavelengths—1064 nm for deeper tissues and 532 nm for addressing superficial skin lesions. Q-switching enables the laser to deliver short, high-intensity pulses, enhancing its effectiveness for a range of dermatological applications.

Process

How It Works

Laser Activation

The Nd YAG laser emits concentrated light energy absorbed by pigment or deeper skin layers without damaging surrounding tissue.

Targeted Penetration

Depending on the wavelength (1064 nm or 532 nm), it targets either deep skin concerns like vascular lesions or surface pigmentation.

Q-Switched Pulses

Ultra-short bursts of high energy break down melanin or tattoo ink into tiny particles, which the body naturally eliminates.

Skin Renewal

The treatment stimulates collagen production and clears unwanted pigmentation, improving overall skin texture and tone.
