Everyone wishes for a smoother, even, flawless, youthful looking skin and has always been a priority for both men and women across countries. Factors including sunlight, heredity, genetics, pollutants, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and alcohol intake, and chronologic aging itself contribute to patchy, dry rough skin leading to dull, uneven skin tone.
Skin rejuvenation with Q Switch Laser Toning is a treatment modality designed to improve aesthetic concerns caused by the above mentioned factors.
Photo aging is a common cause of dull, dark skin, commonly affecting face, décolleté area, arms, back of hands, and sides of neck. Prolonged sun exposure causes mottled pigmentation and other dyschromias, erythema, telangiectasia, wrinkles, textural changes, and enlargement of pores. Solar elastotic collagen damage produces a sallow skin tone, dilated pore structure, and an appearance and elasticity similar to crepe paper. Due to the concern of aging and the need of maintaining a fresh, youthful looking skin with negligible downtime, facial rejuvenation using non ablative techniques is gaining popularity in recent times. Due to the involvement of exposed areas, photo aging has a profound psychological impact on affected individuals.
Photo rejuvenation is treatment of damage caused due to sun induced and other environmental factors by utilizing light or visible or infrared light energy sources. Visible disturbance to overlying epidermis should be avoided while trying to achieve this. QSNY Laser treatment consists of the of improvement of mild surface irregularities through subsequent dermal collagen remodeling.
The Q switched Nd:YAG lasers are commonly used for the management of hyperpigmented lesions such as Melasma, nevus of Ota, tattoos, freckles and birthmarks.
The rejuvenation effect of Q‐switched lasers occurs due to dermal collagen remodeling caused by the dermal thermal injury without causing epidermal damage. The Nd: YAG laser wavelength of 1064 nm is associated with increased collagen deposition in the papillary and upper reticular dermis, and this wave length leads to a deeper dermal wound leading to no nablative dermal remodeling.
The fractional 1064 Q switched Nd: YAG (QSNYL) laser is popular for facial rejuvenation in India asit provides visible efficacy and overcomes most of the undesirable effects of traditional available lasers specially in a darker skin type.
QSNYL is one of the latest modalities used for nonablativefacial rejuvenation. It offers the benefit of being a true lunchtime procedure, quick, easy, painless, needing no topical anesthesia, and allowing the patient to resume normal routine immediately.
Fractional mode of 1064 QSNYL is a safe and effective modality of rejuvenation in Indian skin types with results visibly appreciable in 2‐3 sessions and no downtime.
