Hollywood Spectra Q-Switch
Q-Switched Laser Treatment for Selected Pigmentation Concerns
Q switch laser treatment uses short, high-energy laser pulses that can target selected pigment in the skin. At Ageology, the Hollywood Spectra Q-Switch may be considered for concerns such as certain sunspots, post-inflammatory pigmentation or other indications supported by the device and clinical assessment.
Pigment response varies, and melasma can recur.
What is the Hollywood Spectra Q-Switch Laser?
A Q-switched laser delivers energy in very short pulses. Pigment particles absorb selected wavelengths and may fragment into smaller particles that are gradually cleared.
Treatment should be matched to the type of pigment because not every pigmentation concern responds safely to the same laser settings.
