I got the Treatment for pigmentation done using Picosecond Q-switch ND-YAG Laser which have been in trend now-a-days. In this modern era treatment for pigmentation using Picosecond Q-switch ND-YAG Laser have been used as a beauty enhancer and it also shows uniqueness. Tattoo is also very common nowadays and I feel it signifies belongings. According to my opinion Q-switched ND-YAG laser have been used as a high-quality treatment for dermal and epidermal pigmented lesion. Different countries have different skin tone but for the darker shades the dual wavelengths of 1064nm and 532nm are the appropriate ones to use.

Review on the use of the Picosecond Q-switch ND-YAG Laser

I used this treatment for pigmentation but this laser is also used for conditions like tattoos, Hori’s nevus and Ota’s nevus. But the role of this laser is not clear in the management of melasma and on other acquired dermal melanoses. There is no agreement regarding the protocol or the required number of sessions on Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for treatment for pigmentation.

How was the treatment?

I saw that there is a need of longer wavelength of 1064nm because it has a deep penetrating action in the conditions like primary dermal or in the mixture of epidermal-dermal. It took me numerous sessions to get the best results. To cure pigmentation problem low fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG laser of 1064nm availing the multi-pass technique is used as it has large spot size to give a high quality treatment. If the laser therapy is discontinued then it is commonly seen of reoccurrence of the spots and many reports also support this fact. Laser toning has also shown some negative results like mottled hypo pigmentation. But this effect can be minimised with the help of treatment using large spot size 8-10nm and intervals between sessions should be kept of 2 weeks long.

Was the treatment effective?

My cure of pigmentation was quick but this can also be done on patients who have them for long period effectively with the help of 1064 Q-switched Nd-YAG laser. This laser creates invisible beam of light which focuses only on the pigmented area or the area with melanin presence and does not affect the surrounded skin.

How do they feel?

As per my experience and research  Nd:YAG, Alexandrite and QS ruby lasers helps people to get rid of green, red and blue coloured tattoos. Apart from these colours the others might be a little tricky like in case of pigmentation but still the usage of fractional resurfacing and picoseconds results quite best as they are effective on dark pigments.
