Different types of lasers bring different qualities and capabilities to your clinic. Asclepion’s NanoStar family represents a truly modern development of Q-switched lasers. With a Q-switched laser, you’ll have the opportunity to offer outstanding tattoo as well as pigmentation removal in your clinic. This non-invasive yet highly effective way of treating tattoos of various colours ensures maximum results amongst other application possibilities. This blog will tell you more about Asclepion’s state-of-the-art NanoStar laser devices and what they can offer you and your clients.
A Q-switched Laser Explained
A quality switch or “Q-switch” laser refers to the type of pulse produced by the laser. Regular aesthetic laser devices generate a continuous laser beam, whereas a Q-switched laser produces high-intensity pulsed beam light that lasts mere billionths of a second. Since energy emission happens in such brief bursts, the pulses are very powerful and intense.
The short but intense pulses produced by a Q-switched laser offer two main advantages. As the pulses are emitted in such a short period of time, they are merely focused on heating up and shattering the pigment inside the skin. The surrounding tissue is left unharmed by the energy penetrating the skin, resulting in effective pigmentation and tattoo removal without damaging side effects.
Another advantage of a Q-switched laser is the capability and power of shattering tiny fragments of ink or pigmentation. Other aesthetic lasers lack the ability to produce pulses powerful enough to be used for such applications. In addition to breaking down tiny fragments of colour, a Q-switched laser can also stimulate collagen production and kill fungus, making them highly efficient laser devices.
The NanoStar
At Asclepion, we only offer state-of-the-art laser devices that deliver outstanding results. Our NanoStar family combines multiple laser technologies to ensure fast, effective and virtually painless treatments. To allow for more versatility, the NanoStar utilises a Nd:YAG dual wavelength laser at 1064nm and 532nm and a powerful Ruby laser at 694nm. On top of exceptional tattoo removal, Asclepion’s Q-switched laser also provides effective pigmentation removal and skin rejuvenation.
The NanoStar comes with new innovative technology, including automatic spot detection, for ease of use. For resistant colours like dark blue and black, the NanoStar C Mixed-Technology (MT) allows for the simultaneous emission of multiple Q-switched laser sources and delivers excellent results. With the OptiBeam II technology, a highly precise beam can be produced, allowing for highly detailed and clean work.
With the NanoStar family, your clinic benefits from a variety of adaptable flat-top and fractional handpieces. Six different treatment heads are included with the NanoStar® C, R, and Y, giving the operator complete control over the spot area and treatment precision. Our modern user interface offers further ease with full control over your work for a more comfortable work environment.
Treatment Possibilities
Tattoo Removal
How Q-Switched Lasers Remove Tattoos Effectively
Q-Switched lasers are specifically designed for tattoo removal, utilising a unique technology that delivers high-intensity, short pulses of light. The laser’s energy targets the tattoo ink particles, breaking them down into smaller fragments. These tiny ink particles are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system. The rapid and intense pulses of the Q-Switched laser enable selective targeting of the tattoo ink without causing significant damage to the surrounding skin.
Advantages of the Nanostar in Tattoo Removal
The Asclepion Nanostar offers several advantages that make it an exceptional choice for tattoo removal. Firstly, its cutting-edge Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser technology ensures efficient and reliable tattoo removal across various ink colors, including stubborn pigments. Secondly, the Nanostar’s adjustable pulse duration allows precise customisation of treatment based on the tattoo’s size, depth, and ink type, optimising results for each patient. Additionally, the Nanostar’s advanced cooling system enhances patient comfort during the procedure and minimises the risk of adverse side effects, making it a sought-after option for successful tattoo removal.
Pigmentation Removal
Treating Various Pigmented Lesions with Q-Switched Lasers
Pigmented lesions, such as age spots, sunspots, freckles, and melasma, are caused by an accumulation of melanin in the skin. Q-Switched lasers are highly effective in targeting these unwanted pigments. The laser’s intense energy breaks down the melanin particles into smaller fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in a more even skin tone and reduced pigmentation.
Specific Capabilities of the Nanostar in Pigmentation Removal
The Asclepion Nanostar’s advanced Q-Switched technology allows for precise and gentle treatment of pigmented lesions. With its customisable parameters, the Nanostar can adjust the laser’s wavelength and pulse duration to effectively target different pigment depths and types. This versatility enables clinicians to tailor treatments to each patient’s specific needs, achieving outstanding outcomes while maintaining the safety of the surrounding skin.
Skin Rejuvenation
Using Q-Switched Lasers for Skin Rejuvenation
Q-Switched lasers have gained popularity for their ability to promote skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production and addressing various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture. The laser’s controlled thermal energy triggers a natural healing response, leading to improved skin elasticity and a more youthful appearance.
How the Nanostar Enhances Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
Asclepion Nanostar stands out for its exceptional skin rejuvenation capabilities due to its advanced fractional mode. The fractional approach creates microthermal zones in the skin, leaving surrounding tissues unaffected. This not only speeds up the healing process but also reduces downtime and minimises discomfort for patients. By customising the treatment parameters, clinicians can precisely target specific areas, optimising results for various skin concerns and skin types.
