Q-Switch Nd:YAG Laser

Q-Switch Nd:YAG Laser is an advanced laser treatment used to target pigmentation, uneven skin tone and selected skin concerns.

It delivers short, high-energy pulses of laser light that target pigment in the skin. This helps break down selected pigment, which the body gradually clears over time.

At Pure Derma, our dermatologist assesses your skin and pigmentation to recommend the right treatment for your concerns. Every skin is different, and the right approach begins with understanding your skin.

What Does Q-Switch Nd:YAG Laser Help With?

Pigmentation

Helps improve the appearance of selected dark spots and pigmentation caused by excess pigment in the skin.

Skin Brightening

May help improve uneven skin tone and give the skin a more even, refreshed appearance when appropriately selected.

Acne Marks

May help reduce the appearance of certain brown marks left after acne. Red marks and acne scars may need different treatments.

Tattoo Removal

Q-Switch Nd:YAG Laser can be used to remove selected tattoos by breaking down tattoo ink into smaller particles that the body gradually clears.

Selected Skin Rejuvenation

May be used for certain skin rejuvenation concerns, depending on your dermatologist’s assessment and the laser settings

How Does Q-Switch Nd:YAG Laser Work?

The laser delivers very short pulses of energy to the targeted area.

For pigmentation, the laser targets excess pigment in the skin and breaks it into smaller particles. Your body gradually clears these particles over time.

For tattoo removal, the laser targets tattoo ink, helping break it down so it can be cleared naturally.

Multiple sessions may be needed, depending on the concern and your skin’s response.
