Difference between Q-switched laser and picosecond laser

Picosecond laser, medical beauty project. It refers to the use of a picosecond pulse width laser to act on the target cell, which can produce a "mechanical wave" on the target base. The high energy generated by the wave can vaporize the cell, and the pigment particles in the cell can be completely shattered into dust, which can be better absorbed and metabolized by the metabolic cells, or can change the physical properties of some pigment particles so that they do not show color, It is often used for the treatment of various pigmented diseases including chloasma and the removal of cold and warm tattoos. The main difference between a Q-switched laser and a picosecond laser is that the pulse width and wavelength are different, the instruments used are different, and the time units calculated are also different.

Principle and function of Q-switched laser

1. The pulse width of the Q-switch laser is higher than that of other types of laser, and the treatment effect is mild and powerful. There is no trace on the epidermis when treating superficial pigments such as freckles.

2. Q-switch laser can remove superficial melanin, which is truly non-invasive, traceless, and painless in the treatment of these superficial pigmented diseases.

3. Q-switched laser also has an excellent ability to remove deep-pigmented diseases.

4. The treatment covers a wide range, such as freckles, melasma, sunburn, butterfly spots, senile spots, eyebrow washing, eyeliner washing, tattoo removal, blue nevus removal, birthmark removal, Ota nevus removal, etc.

5. The treatment time of laser freckle removal is only ten minutes at a time. After each treatment, the skin will have a metabolic process, so the interval between treatments is mostly 3 months. According to the size, quantity, and depth of pigmentation and vascular lesions, some treatments can achieve the desired effect two or three times, and generally, it takes more than six times to solve the problem.

Principle and function of picosecond laser

Picosecond laser emits an adjustable repetition rate through picosecond laser. Its principle is similar to that of the ordinary laser. It mainly acts on the skin directly through the photothermal effect of emission. It can selectively destroy and destroy the lesions of deep skin tissue, such as pigmentation, skin scars, various spots, vasodilation, or hemangioma. The beneficial picosecond laser is very fast, so it generally does not damage the surrounding healthy skin. If you want to use picosecond laser treatment, you need to go to a regular hospital.

To sum up, the main difference between a Q-switch laser and a picosecond laser is that the pulse width and wavelength are different, and the instruments used are different, the time units calculated are also different. Q-switched laser is mainly calculated by nanoseconds, while picosecond laser is calculated by picoseconds. The pulse width of the picosecond laser is shorter, which can achieve a better effect of resolving color spots. Q-switched laser is mainly used for skin diseases, while picosecond laser is mainly used to remove color spots or tattoos on the skin.
