Hair Removal
Laser hair removal using q-switch laser uses light energy to target and destroy melanin in skin pigment, causing the thin and fine hair to lose color, becoming lighter toned and less noticeable on the body. While safe when handled by trained hands, unqualified people may cause serious harm when performing treatments themselves; as such, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) advises choosing only dermatologists with extensive training and a deep knowledge of skin to perform laser procedures.
Q-switched lasers generate pulses of high-intensity laser beam light lasting billionths of a second, which allows their laser energy to penetrate skin without harming surrounding tissue and heat up and shatter ink particles or natural pigments without damaging epidermis; this allows removal of tattoo ink or dark spots without leaving surrounding skin unaffected.
Q-switched lasers offer fast and permanent solutions for hair removal on facial and body areas, including shaving bumps caused by damaged hair follicles. Furthermore, Q-switched lasers also work to lessen stretch marks and scars that might otherwise linger after shaving or waxing treatments have concluded.
A Q-switch laser can also be used to treat other pigmentation issues, including sunspots and freckles. The laser penetrates the skin to target discolored spots before creating a photoacoustic effect which causes pigment fragments to break down before being cleared away by your natural immune system.
Although other types of lasers can target melanin in these spots, they often result in changes to the structure and color of epidermal tissues that become visible for those with darker skin tones.
Q-switched lasers are ideal for targeting these spots as they target only melanin in the affected area while leaving surrounding skin intact – thus being safe and effective treatment options for treating all skin tones and conditions.
Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal uses a Q-switched laser to break apart ink particles within a tattoo and allow your cells to absorb and discard them, gradually diminishing its visibility until eventually you can completely get rid of it. Over several sessions, your tattoo may become less noticeable or eventually even entirely gone!
Q-switched laser treatments can also be an effective solution to combat hyperpigmentation and brighten the complexion, working equally well on all skin types from very dark or sensitive ones to lighter complexions. Light energy from the laser absorbs into excess melanin in your skin, dispersing it. In addition, its light energy targets enlarged pores or dead cells to leave you looking fresh and radiant!
Q-switched lasers can be an excellent way to treat hyperpigmentation by targeting melanin pigments found in freckles, brown spots, melasma and other discolorations on your skin. In many instances these areas will begin fading immediately following laser therapy treatment – however any scabs formed should have time to form and heal before returning to regular activities.
Tattoos, sun damage and other factors may lead to uneven brown and red pigmentation on skin surfaces, and this condition should be addressed using the Q-switched laser as it is the gold standard in skin tightening and rejuvenation treatments.
Laser treatment for birthmarks, freckles and other blemishes as well as scars and wrinkles is available through this type of laser device. Furthermore, collagen production in skin may also be stimulated to reduce scars or wrinkles and make their appearance less evident.
Q-switch lasers have another lesser known use: treating nail fungus. Diabetics or those suffering from other conditions that weaken nails often suffer from nail fungus; by using a Q-switch laser you can effectively kill off this parasitic growth and restore healthy nails.
Before your laser treatment begins, we will cleanse and protect the area by applying protective cream. A Zimmer cooler may also be utilized to enhance comfort. During treatment, you may feel a mild stinging sensation similar to when someone snaps a rubber band against your face.
Skin Rejuvenation
Q-switch Nd Yag machines differ from long pulse lasers in that they produce short bursts of intense light at short wavelengths. This short wavelength makes the treatment effective at eliminating blemishes without harming surrounding skin tissues – known as photofacial or photodermabrasion. Photofacial or photodermabrasion treatments have proven highly successful at eliminating age spots, freckles, melanin spots, sun damage scarring and pigmented acne scarring while simultaneously tightening skin while stimulating collagen production for anti-aging effects as well as eliminating dead skin cells from shrinking enlarged pores while helping redness while improving acne scars over time.
This treatment can also be used for hair bleaching. This is because it targets melanin in thin and fine hairs to turn them white before eventually falling out after treatment, leaving an even complexion with permanent reduction of unwanted hairs – though these hairs will grow back within four to six weeks with their original thickness and color.
Q-switch laser technology has an additional vital use: nail fungus removal. To use this treatment effectively and safely, one session with the q-switch laser should do just the trick!
Dr. Rokhsar will assess if this procedure falls under cosmetic and may not be covered by health insurance plans, so those interested should meet with him or consult Dr. Rokhsar to see if it’s suitable. Consultations is highly advised for people with darker skin colors as the treatment can cause hypopigmentation and pregnancy women or those who have experienced previous wounds as it could increase keloid scar formation and make scarring worse. For anyone considering the q-switch laser for any reason we highly advise scheduling a consultation at our office so we can discuss your individual needs before providing advice and making treatment recommendations – we look forward to meeting you!

Sun Spot Removal
Q-switched laser treatment for sun spots can provide effective results. This approach utilizes short pulses of high intensity light that penetrate the deeper layers of skin where pigment cells reside, breaking up pigment cells and leaving lighter skin behind. Furthermore, collagen production is stimulated, leading to tighter and firmer skin overall.
Dependent upon the location, color and size of a sun spot blemish as well as other factors, treatment may take multiple sessions to clear it away. Melanin content within each blemish has differing levels of saturation which requires targeted treatment sessions for best results. Some colors of pigment may respond better than others to treatment sessions.
Q-switch laser treatments go beyond sun spots to address other brown blemishes such as age spots, freckles and liver spots/cafe-au-lait spots. In addition, it can remove age spots/freckles/freckles as well as lighten brown blemishes such as liver spots/cafe-au-lait spots. Furthermore, melasma can also be removed using this laser as well as tattoo removal and certain forms of hair removal; treatment is gentle/noninvasive so a patient can return directly back into work/other activities immediately afterwards.
Q-switched Nd: YAG lasers utilize light pulses that focus on melanin in hairs to break them apart and lighten. This method is safe and highly effective at eliminating unwanted hair for both men and women; its pulse duration and energy level adjust according to hair type and skin tone, with darker hairs typically needing higher pulse duration and lower energy levels than lighter ones.
Q-switch lasers can also be used to treat onychomycosis (an uncommon nail disorder caused by fungus). To do this effectively, a similar laser technique must be utilized – however with higher pulse duration and fluence requirements.
Q-switched lasers offer many advantages for cosmetic use, making it an increasingly popular procedure. A qualified dermatologist should first assess any pigmented lesion to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you; usually three to 10 sessions will be required before optimal results can be seen; the cost varies based on procedure type.
