Benefits
QS Nd:YAG is a laser that is used for tattoo removal, pigmented lesion removal, and other pigmentation concerns.
QS Nd:YAG lasers emit specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by pigment in the skin or tattoo ink. This energy breaks down the pigment particles, allowing the body to gradually eliminate them.
The sensation during QS Nd:YAG laser treatment varies from person to person. It's often described as feeling like the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Your practitioner may use cooling techniques to minimize discomfort.
The duration of a treatment session depends on the size of the area being treated and the specific condition. Sessions can range from a few minutes for small areas to about an hour for larger areas.
There may be some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort after treatment, but these typically resolve within a few days. You can usually return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and its severity. For tattoo removal, multiple sessions are usually necessary.
Results can vary, but you may start to see improvement after the first few sessions. For some treatments, it may take several sessions to achieve the desired outcome.
QS Nd:YAG lasers are generally safe and effective for a wide range of skin types and colors. However, it's important to consult with your dermatologist or practitioner to determine if it's the right choice for your specific needs.
