INDICATIONS
Pigmented Lesions
Alma-Q is highly effective for treating various degrees and depths of pigmented lesions as well as melasma. The high power Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064nm laser treats deep pigmented lesions, while the 532nm wavelength addresses superficial pigmented lesions.The treatment mechanically breaks up the melanin in the lesions without causing thermal damage, revealing lighter, unblemished skin.
Skin Remodeling
Alma-Q features the first fractional non-ablative Q-switched laser that offers depth control, allowing practitioners to use the powerful benefits of a high intensity Q-Switched laser for the treatment of age-related skin imperfections including wrinkles, fine lines, photo damage, uneven skin tone and skin laxity.
Tattoo Removal
Successful multi-color tattoo removal requires a high powered laser that can deliver enough energy within the absorption spectrum of a wide range of colors. The high power 0-Switched Nd:YAG 1064nm laser is ideal for treating darker ink colors (black, blue and green), while the 532nm wavelength is effective for brighter ink colors (red, orange and yellow). The treatment mechanically breaks down ink particles without causing thermal damage, causing the tattoo to fade with minimal risk of scarring or hypopigmentation.
Vascular Lesions
The Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG 1064nm laser provides a powerful non-invasive solution for vascular lesions, malformations and deep veins. In addition to its deep penetration and effective heating, the 1064nm wavelength is more readily absorbed by water and oxy-hemoglobin with relatively low absorption by melanin.This triggers photothermolysis of the water and hemoglobin chromophore, effectively targeting vascular lesions while avoiding damage to the epidermis.
