On heating up, these particles shatter into smaller bits which are flushed away. The embedded ink particles attract the laser energy, while the surrounding skin tissue is excluded. Q-switched laser is aimed at the tattooed area of the skin. The discolouration caused by hyperpigmentation thus fades away. The body’s natural processes reabsorb the fragments and dispose of them through the lymphatic system. This light energy gets converted into heat, causing the pigment to fragment and get released into the skin.

The Helios II Q-switched laser emits a short, intense pulses of light energy, for a billionth of a second. The other is an invisible infrared light which penetrates deeper and treats the dermal layer of the skin. One of them, the green light, treats the upper layer of skin. It derives its name from an optical switch which is inserted into a laser cavity, and is designed to emit two different wavelengths of light. Technically speaking, Q-switching is a process by which laser energy is concentrated into a powerful beam that delivers unmatched penetrative power.

A wide spectrum of skin concerns: acquired bilateral nevus of ota-like macules (ABNOM), Becker’s Nevus, lentigo, freckles, cafe au lait spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Lip enhancement, addressing uneven pigmentation on the lips to make them appear fresher, softer, lighter and plumper.

Skin rejuvenation, as part of the Carbon Peel that renders skin bright, glowing and radiant.

Its pigmentation-reduction capabilities also make it a central part of various treatments such as: It is most effective for spots on the face, chest, neck, arms and legs. Both large and small spots can be treated.

As these are deep-seated, topical applications are of limited use.Īt Kaya, the Helios II Q-switched cosmetic laser is the tool of choice to reduce and eventually eliminate pigmentation which occurs in a few isolated spots (as against many diffused spots). However, melanin formation can be uneven, resulting in isolated brown spots or patches of hyperpigmentation. Melanin absorbs or scatters radiation in order to protect the DNA of the skin from ultraviolet rays, and help prevent the development of skin cancer (melanoma) or other health conditions associated with excessive exposure to solar radiation. Sun exposure encourages skin cells to produce melanin, a brown pigment.
