The Q-switch Nd: YAG laser group is designed to treat various pigment abnormalities. The laser energy is absorbed by melanin pigment. When exposed to light energy, the pigment breaks down. Some may peel off as flakes or gradually fade, revealing a brighter complexion, helping to tighten pores and reduce oily skin problems.
3 Special Abilities That Differ from Common Q-switch Lasers
- Revital XT laser is a specially designed laser treatment that penetrates deep into the skin to increase and stimulate new collagen production, helping to tighten pores, smooth the skin, reduce oily skin problems, and treat recurring acne.
- Gold toning XT (595 nm.) is a wavelength that targets red blood cells (Oxyhaemoglobin). It is used to treat various red marks, including acne redness, vascular melasma, and facial spider veins. It helps reduce acne inflammation and also helps prevent melasma recurrence.
- Ruvy touch XT (660 nm.) is used to effectively treat superficial pigment abnormalities, reduce side effects, and shorten the skin recovery period after treatment.

- Apply cold compress immediately for about 10 – 15 minutes
- Apply antibiotic ointment after laser treatment
