The Derma TR Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser is an advanced, non-invasive laser treatment device widely used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. It employs Q-switched Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser technology, known for its high-intensity pulses and ability to target various skin concerns without damaging surrounding tissues.

How does it work?

Lasers fall into various classifications, dependent on the power emitted. These classifications vary from Class I (one, or 1) to Class IV (four, or 4), with this class being the most powerful. Most lasers used in aesthetics and all lasers for tattoo removal are Class IV laser devices. This means they are the most powerful class of laser, increasing the efficiency of the treatments.

The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operates by emitting short, high-energy pulses of light at specific wavelengths—primarily 1064 nm and 532 nm. These wavelengths are selectively absorbed by pigment particles in the skin, such as melanin and tattoo ink, causing them to fragment into tiny particles. The body's lymphatic system then naturally eliminates these particles over time.

• 1064 nm wavelength: Penetrates deeper into the skin, ideal for treating deeper pigmentation, tattoos, and dermal lesions.

• 532 nm wavelength: Targets superficial pigmentation like sun spots and freckles.

The Q-switched mechanism ensures ultra-short pulses (in nanoseconds), minimising heat buildup and preventing thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

What treatments can it be used for?

• Pigmentation correction (age spots, freckles, lentigines)

• Skin rejuvenation (collagen stimulation, reducing fine lines and wrinkles)

• Treatment of acne scars and open pores

• Carbon laser facials ("Hollywood peel" for skin brightening)

• Nevus of Ota and other dermal pigmented lesions

• Spider/thread veins (anywhere on the on the body)
• Rosacea
• Non-ablative skin resurfacing 
• Tattoo removal (black, blue, green, and red inks)
• SPMU removal
• Toenail fungus 

What are the advantages & benefits?

• Non-invasive and minimal downtime
• Safe for various skin types, including darker tones
• Precision targeting of pigment with minimal damage to surrounding skin
• Stimulates collagen production and skin renewal
• Proven effectiveness in multi-colour tattoo removal
• Reduces the appearance of acne scars, large pores, and fine wrinkles
• Offers visible improvement in skin tone, clarity, and texture
• Fast treatment sessions (typically 10–30 minutes)

The Derma TR Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser is a versatile and effective tool, delivering remarkable cosmetic outcomes with a strong safety profile, making it a go-to solution for many skin concerns in modern dermatology.
