Q-switched ruby ​​laser

“What is a Q-switch ruby ​​laser?”

Q-switched ruby ​​lasers have the property of being well absorbed by blue, black, and brown colors.It is expected to be highly effective for treating spots and freckles on both the epidermis and dermis, and can effectively treat most spots and bruises.

When the laser irradiates the surface of the skin, it passes through the epidermis and hits the melanin pigment inside the skin, which causes age spots and bruises, it generates heat and destroys it. The Q-switched ruby ​​laser only reacts to melanin pigments, allowing treatment with minimal damage to normal skin.

Mechanism of ruby ​​laser treatment

• Stains and bruises occur

  There are various types of spots and birthmarks, and they appear brown, blue, or black depending on the degree and depth of the increase in melanin pigment.

  

• Irradiate ruby ​​laser

  Ruby laser uses powerful energy to destroy melanin tissue deep in the skin (dermis).While minimizing damage to the skin, it is also effective on stains and bruises that exist deep within the dermis.

  

• Excretes and decomposes melanin pigment

  The pigment is excreted to the body surface over a period of several weeks to several months, although this varies by location and individual.

  

• after that

  As the destroyed melanin pigment progresses, spots and bruises will gradually improve and your skin will return to normal.

• A scab will form on the irradiated area, but it will fall off naturally in about a week, so please do not force it.
• During the first month after irradiation, the spots may appear darker again due to transient post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.It usually fades and disappears naturally in about 1 to 2 months.

Is protective tape necessary after laser treatment?

At our hospital, we ask that you apply ointment and apply protective tape to the irradiated area for 7 to 10 days after laser irradiation (until the scab is completely gone).The irradiated area will remain inflamed for several days, so applying friction or exposure to ultraviolet rays may make it worse.With proper post-treatment treatment, the stains will disappear.

Due to my work schedule, I cannot apply tape to the affected area.

We also have transparent protective tape that is less noticeable.Transparent masking tape is highly durable and it is possible to apply makeup over the tape, making it easier for people in the customer service industry and sales staff to receive treatment.Please contact our staff for details.

If more than 10 days have passed since treatment and the scab has fallen off and turned pink, stop using the ointment tape and protective tape.However, please continue to avoid rubbing the treatment area or using harsh cosmetics.

One month after laser irradiation, the stains became darker again.

Although there are individual differences, the pink irradiated area will gradually become darker after one month of laser treatment.This is called ``post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation'' and is pigmentation that occurs during the healing process of a wound.It gradually fades and disappears over time. (About 1 months to 3 months)

Can the stains come back?

After treatment, there is a possibility of recurrence due to factors such as friction and the effects of ultraviolet rays.It is necessary to prevent the stain from recurring by taking proper sun protection and avoiding rubbing the affected area as much as possible.
