Q-Switched Laser

Istanbul

Q-Switched Laser in Istanbul is available at 3 hospitals in the Voumed network.

The Q-switched laser is a dermatological laser that fires extremely short, very high-energy pulses of light, measured in billionths of a second, to shatter pigment in the skin. Because the burst is so brief and powerful, it breaks up dark pigment and tattoo ink into tiny fragments while leaving the surrounding skin largely unharmed. The body then carries those fragments away naturally over the following weeks. This makes the Q-switched laser the standard tool for removing unwanted pigmentation and tattoos and for refreshing uneven, sun-damaged skin, with little downtime between sessions.
