Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser Machine

A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser machine is a professional device for tattoo removal and pigmented lesion treatment. It delivers dual 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths in nanosecond high-peak-energy pulses that shatter ink and pigment particles, which the body then clears naturally, leaving surrounding skin largely undamaged.

For skin toning by treatment of pigmented lesions and tattoo removal.

What is a Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser Machine?

A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser machine is an aesthetic laser platform that removes tattoos and pigmented lesions by firing nanosecond, high peak-energy pulses at 1064nm and 532nm. It is designed for dermatology clinics, medical spas, tattoo-removal studios and distributors who need a dependable pigment workstation. The Pmise-Q01 and Pmise-Q02 combine active Q-switching, a homogeneous top-hat beam profile and an imported Korea 7-joint articulated arm with an energy loss rate below 13%. Over a course of sessions, clients see progressive clearing of tattoo ink, nevus of Ota, freckles and age spots with minimal damage to the surrounding skin.

How Does It Work?

The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser removes pigment through a principle called light blasting, or photoacoustic effect. It delivers light of a specific wavelength in a high peak energy pulse, so the light penetrates the tissue for only a nanosecond. The light is absorbed by the pigmentation and results in an instantaneous blast. The pigmentation particles are shattered into fragments; some can be bounced out of the skin and others can be split into tiny particles that can be engulfed by phagocytes and then eliminated by the lymphatic system.

Two wavelengths cover different targets. The 1064nm beam penetrates deeper and is absorbed by dark, dermal pigment such as nevus of Ota and blue-black tattoo ink, while the 532nm beam is absorbed by superficial red and brown pigment such as freckles and age spots. Because the pulse is measured in nanoseconds, well below the thermal relaxation time of the pigment, energy is confined to the target and thermal damage to surrounding skin is minimised.

Main Applications

  • Tattoo removal: professional and amateur body tattoos, plus cosmetic tattoos such as eyeliner and eyebrow tattoo (semi-permanent make-up).
  • Dermal pigmented lesions: nevus of Ota and Ito, Mongolian spot, nevus fuscocaeruleus zygomaticus (NFZ), birthmark and coffee (cafe-au-lait) spots.
  • Epidermal pigmented lesions: freckles, age spots, sunspots, seborrheic keratosis and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
  • Laser facial and skin rejuvenation: oil control, pore refinement, skin toning and brightening.
  • Vessel-related concerns: capillary hemangioma and small facial vessels.

Key Advantages

"Top Hat" beam profile advantage: Enhanced treatment safety and efficacy by homogeneous distribution of energy; "Top Hat" beam profile minimizes epidermal damage; Tissue textural changes and the occurrence of scarring; A lack of an homogenizer might result in hot spots within the beam and increased risk of scarring.

Adjustable 1-10mm focal spot lets the operator match spot size precisely to each lesion for uniform, controllable results.

Imported South Korea 7 joints arm: rate of energy loss < 13%.

Alarm protection system of water of flow and water temperature, protect people and machine against any risk at the first time.

Q-switched vs Long Pulse vs Picosecond

Technology Best for Depth / wavelength Downtime Suitable buyer
Q-switched Nd:YAG (Pmise-Q01/Q02) Tattoo removal, dermal and epidermal pigmented lesions 1064nm reaches deep dermal pigment; 532nm targets superficial pigment; nanosecond pulses Minimal Clinics, medical spas and studios building a tattoo and pigment removal service
Long pulse Nd:YAG laser Hair removal on all skin types, vascular lesions, nail fungus 1064nm with the deepest penetration; millisecond pulses heat and coagulate targets None to minimal Clinics serving darker skin types and wanting one multi-application platform
Picosecond laser (general technology) Pigment and ink clearing using ultra-short picosecond pulses

Picosecond is listed as a general technology reference only; the Pmise range covers Q-switched and long pulse Nd:YAG platforms.

How to Choose the Right Model

Both models share the same core platform: dual 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths, an adjustable 1-10mm focal spot, the top-hat beam profile and the imported Korea 7-joint arm. The difference lies in output modes and maximum energy.

  • Pmise-Q01 works in single-pulse mode at 1-800mJ. It is the right entry point for a small beauty salon or start-up studio whose menu centres on standard tattoo removal, freckle and age-spot clearing.
  • Pmise-Q02 adds multi-pulse (PTP) output up to 1600mJ and long-pulse modes reaching 1200mJ at 1064nm and 3000mJ at 532nm. The extra modes and headroom suit a busy clinic or high-footfall practice that wants a wider range of protocols on one machine.
  • Distributors often carry both: the Q01 as an affordable entry model and the Q02 as the flagship for professional clinic customers.

FAQ

How does a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser remove tattoos?

A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser fires high peak-energy pulses that last only nanoseconds. The light is absorbed by tattoo ink and pigment, producing an instantaneous photoacoustic blast that shatters the particles into tiny fragments. These fragments are then engulfed by phagocytes and cleared naturally through the body's lymphatic system.

What is the difference between the 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths?

The 1064nm wavelength penetrates deeper into the dermis and targets dark pigment such as nevus of Ota, Mongolian spot and black or blue tattoo ink. The 532nm wavelength is absorbed more strongly by superficial red and brown pigment, making it ideal for freckles, age spots and colourful tattoos.

Is Q-switched laser treatment painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as a series of light snapping or aching pin-pricks rather than deep pain. Because each pulse lasts only nanoseconds, heat spread to surrounding skin is minimal. The homogeneous top-hat beam profile further reduces hot spots, and a topical numbing cream can be applied for sensitive areas.

How many sessions are needed to remove a tattoo or pigmentation?

Pigmented lesions such as freckles or age spots often clear in 1 to 3 sessions. Professional tattoos usually require 6 to 10 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, since the body needs time to clear shattered ink between visits. Ink colour, depth and density all affect the total number needed.

What is the difference between a Q-switched and a long pulse Nd:YAG laser?

A Q-switched laser uses nanosecond pulses to photoacoustically shatter pigment and tattoo ink, so it excels at removal. Our long pulse Nd:YAG laser machine uses millisecond pulses to gently heat and coagulate targets, making it suited to hair removal and vascular lesions. In short, Q-switched breaks pigment while long pulse heats tissue.

Should I choose the Pmise-Q01 or the Pmise-Q02?

Choose the Pmise-Q01 if you mainly need single-pulse tattoo and pigment removal at 1-800mJ; it is the simpler, more affordable configuration. Choose the Pmise-Q02 if you want multi-pulse and long-pulse modes with output up to 3000mJ, which gives a busier clinic a wider range of treatment protocols.

What warranty and after-sales support are included?

Every machine carries a one-year warranty starting from the date you sign for it, followed by lifetime maintenance. Our technical team responds to consulting requests within 30 minutes, quotations are normally sent within 12 to 24 hours, and door-to-door service is arranged at least twice a year.

How much does a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser machine cost?

Price depends on the model and configuration. The Pmise-Q01 suits clinics focused on core tattoo and pigment removal, while the Pmise-Q02 adds multi-pulse and long-pulse modes with higher output for busier practices. Both use an imported Korea 7-joint arm. Contact Pmise for current manufacturer pricing and a quote.
