Q Switched NdYAG Laser
Laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Lasers are used by dermatologists for a number of procedures. Lasers operate by generating intense, unidirectional light of a single wavelength and colour that is focused on a specific area of the skin (called a chromophore). The chromophore in the skin absorbs the wave energy, which then obliterates it. When using a Q switch Nd YAG laser, the undesired melanin pigment inside of skin cells and melanocytes is carefully targeted by the laser beam, breaking up into micro fragments that are then gently removed from the skin by lymphatics. One of the most popular lasers is the Q switch ND-YAG laser.

For laser tattoo removal, the Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is also employed. Although most tattoo colours can be dramatically lightened by it, darker inks typically benefit from its greatest efficacy. This laser might not be the best option for tattoos with green and yellow ink.
