Q-Switched Laser Treatment Dubai

Q-Switched Laser Treatment Dubai offers a nonsurgical approach to reducing selected skin pigmentation and unwanted tattoo ink. Unlike treatments that remove the outer skin layer, this laser delivers short bursts of energy to specific pigment particles. The treatment uses a process called selective photothermolysis. The laser targets pigment by using a specific wavelength that the pigment absorbs. The energy breaks the pigment into smaller particles without removing the entire surface layer of skin.

Your body gradually clears these particles after treatment. The response depends on the pigment’s depth, colour, type and location, as well as your skin tone and the laser settings.

Types of Q-Switched Laser Treatment:

Different Q-switched laser systems use different wavelengths to target specific pigment colours and depths.

Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser: Uses 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths to target selected skin pigmentation and tattoo ink.
Q-Switched Ruby Laser: Uses a 694 nm wavelength and may treat selected pigmented lesions and tattoo colours.
Q-Switched Alexandrite Laser: Uses a 755 nm wavelength and can target selected pigmentation and tattoo ink including certain blue and green pigments.
