How Q-switched/Picosecond Laser is performed
Q-switched nanosecond or picosecond mode can be selected. The wavelength and spot size are determined by skin tone and pigment depth. A test shot is performed if necessary. After cleaning and eye protection, the doctor scans and emits short pulses of energy in a grid pattern, crushing melanin particles through selective photothermal or photomechanical action, which are then metabolized and cleared by the body. Postoperative observation includes erythema, mild scabbing, or temporary pigment changes, followed by cooling and sun protection. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
