TREATMENT GUIDE | SINON Quantel Derma
Description The Q-switched ruby laser SINON is the ideal treatment solution for gentle, scar-free removal of natural benign pigmentations and all kinds of tattoos. Whether professional or amateur tattoo, traumatic tattoo, or permanent make-up, SINON removes it in only a few sessions, achieving excellent results even on challenging colours. With ultra-short pulses
of only 20 nsec, SINON can apply extraordinarily efficient pulse energies even at low, skin-protecting fluences. Large spot sizes can thus be used to remove deeper-lying pigments. For gentle treatments on darker skin, SINON offers a unique 3 mm soft spot which precisely removes pigmented lesions at very low fluences. A skin cooling can be attached
Alex TriVantage Candela

ClearLift 1064nm Pixel Q-Switched
Alma Lasers
Description The world’s first 1064 nm fractional, non-ablative
Q-switched laser offers pain free,
non-invasive, and no downtime treatments. It has been referred to by dermatologists as the lunchtime face lift for its ability to quickly, and without interruption
to one’s daily routine, enhance skin appearance. The ClearLift laser is available for use on the HarmonyXL
platform, and treats a wide range of indications including nail fungus, fine lines, and other in-demand treatments.
Indications Collagen remodelling, tattoo removal, nail fungus, and more.

Q-switch lasers emit energy which is absorbed Ôin one goÕ by the matching colour located more externally in the skin; therefore, multiple sessions are required to eliminate pigment layer- by-layer. New technology proposes a Q-switch laser with multiple packed pulses in a carrier pulse, as a block, in a single pulse. Up to 4 Hz pulses are delivered in a train of pulses to achieve sequential effects that reach deeper located pigment. The delay time between packed pulses is of just a few milliseconds,

delivering a sub-nanosecond pulse could more effectively confine the energy to the tattoo particle, resulting in increased photoacoustic breakup of the target. This would allow for effective treatment using lower fluences, thereby decreasing thermal energy transfer to the
surrounding tissues, and minimising the risk of
scarring. Reference

Conclusions Fortunately, new technology is emerging, notably microchip Q-switched
lasers
operating in the picosecond domain and wavelength-tunable
femtosecond (10–15 seconds) lasers. Future innovations in laser technology, as well as newer easier-to-remove tattoo inks are also under development.
