The Q switched Nd YAG laser by Dr Rashmi Shetty is like a super-powered flashlight that can do tiny jobs on your skin.
Imagine you're playing with building blocks, and you want to knock down just one tower without touching the others. The laser acts like a fast, focused beam of light, it's like a tiny, powerful finger that taps exactly where it needs to go. This helps fix things like freckles, moles, or unwanted hair.
How It Works
The Nd YAG laser is named after the materials it uses, it’s like a special kind of light made from a mix of elements. When Dr Rashmi Shetty uses it, she turns on the Q switch, which makes the laser fire in quick bursts, like a flash of lightning.
These fast bursts are strong enough to target small parts of your skin, like a tiny superhero zapping away a little problem, such as a spot or a hair. The energy from the laser helps remove these things gently and quickly, without hurting the rest of your skin. It’s like using a tiny hammer to knock down just one block in a tower, you don’t have to shake the whole building!
