Q Switched Indications
> Pigmented lesions: lentigines, cafe au lait blotches, freckles, PIH , epidermal naevi, congenital naevi, dermal naevi, ephelides
> Permanent make-up removal
> Tattoo removal
> Removal of dirt tattoos
Effects on Tissue
> Applying laser impulses to cromophere targets which matches absorption maxima (694 nm melanin, tattoo colours, permanent make up agents)
> Laser impulses are much shorter than thermal relaxation time (TRT) of melanin structures and incapsulated tattoo ink (40ns)
> Generation of shockwaves by absorbtion of high-energetic laser light (MW) in targets thus mechanical destruction (fragmentation)
> Metabolization (phagozytation) of debris removal of the lesion
Selective and Gentle Treatment
> Selective wavelength / nanosecond impulses / high energy lead to a selective removal of pigment-and tattoo substances
> Minimized effects at surrounded tissue
> No thermal effects
> No bleeding
> No scarring
> Minimized risk of pigment changes
> Non invasive treatment
> No down time
> Quickest re-epithilization
> Minimal pain (no anaesthesia required)
Tattoo Star Indication
> Lentigines
> Cafe au - lait blotches
> Ephelides
> Epidermal naevi
> Beckers naevi
> Melasmae
> PIH
> Naevus spilus
> Compound naevi
> Naevus Ota
> Tattoos
Mechanism of Tattoo Removal
> The specific wavelength of the ruby laser will be absorbed by the tattoo-substances
> The skin above dermal tattoo clusters immediately turns white-grey
> The encapsulated color will disrupt immediately
> The split particles metabolized in the epidermis in the lymph system
> The treatment is quick, little harmful, bloodless and very effective
