Pmise QN-08

The QN-08 is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser built by Pmise for tattoo removal and the treatment of unwanted pigment in professional skin clinics. It uses two working wavelengths, 1064 nm and 532 nm, so a single platform can address both deep and superficial targets. The compact, portable design suits clinics and mobile operators who need reliable pigment work without a large floor-standing system.

This is professional equipment. It is intended for use by trained operators who understand skin assessment, laser safety and appropriate settings for each case. The QN-08 belongs to the wider Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser line, and buyers comparing tattoo systems can read our in-depth guide on Q-switched tattoo removal machines before selecting a model.

The QN-08 works on the principle of selective photothermolysis, first described by Anderson and Parrish in 1983. A Q-switched cavity releases laser light in extremely short nanosecond pulses at very high peak power. Because the pulse is shorter than the time heat needs to spread into surrounding tissue, the energy is confined to the target pigment while nearby skin stays comparatively protected.

When the pulse is absorbed by ink or melanin, it creates a rapid photomechanical effect that shatters the pigment into tiny fragments. Some fragments are expelled from the skin surface and the rest are small enough to be engulfed by phagocytes and cleared over time through the lymphatic system. This is why several sessions are usually needed rather than a single pass.

The two wavelengths let the operator match the target. The 1064 nm beam penetrates more deeply and is well suited to dark and blue-black pigment, while the frequency-doubled 532 nm beam is absorbed strongly by red and brighter pigment. Continuously adjustable spot size and controlled repetition let the operator tune fluence to the lesion and skin type.

The QN-08 supports a range of pigment and rejuvenation procedures performed under professional supervision:

• Tattoo removal across common colors such as black, blue, green-blue, brown and red, including cosmetic tattoo of the eyebrow and eyeliner
• Benign pigmented lesions such as sunspots, age spots, freckles and certain nevi
• Laser facial and skin rejuvenation work, including refining pore appearance and helping to even skin tone

It suits dermatology and aesthetic clinics, tattoo-removal studios and distributors serving these markets. Suitability for any individual client depends on skin type, lesion depth and medical history, which the operator assesses before treatment.

• Dual 1064 nm and 532 nm output on one device, covering both deep and superficial pigment targets
• Q-switched nanosecond pulsing that concentrates energy on pigment while limiting heat spread to surrounding skin
• Continuously adjustable spot size for flexible, case-by-case treatment control
• Combined water and air cooling to help maintain stable output during a busy clinic day
• Metal housing that aids heat dissipation, and a portable, space-saving footprint
• Straightforward operating workflow suited to trained clinical staff

What can the QN-08 treat?

It is used mainly for tattoo removal and benign pigmented lesions such as sunspots, age spots and freckles, plus laser facial rejuvenation work. The 1064 nm wavelength handles darker and deeper pigment while 532 nm targets red and brighter colors. A qualified operator confirms whether a specific tattoo or lesion is a good candidate before starting. You can also review our tattoo removal solution page for typical use cases.

Is it suitable for all skin types?

Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers are used across a broad range of skin tones, and the 1064 nm wavelength is generally preferred for darker skin because it is absorbed less by surface melanin. Even so, settings must be adjusted for each person, and a patch test is good practice. Skin assessment and cautious parameters remain the operator's responsibility.

How many sessions are needed?

Pigment is cleared gradually by the body after each treatment, so multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are normal. The exact number varies with tattoo ink, color, depth and how a client's skin responds. We describe realistic expectations rather than promising complete removal, since outcomes differ from case to case.

What about training and support?

The QN-08 is professional equipment intended for trained operators. Pmise provides operating documentation and technical support, and we recommend proper laser-safety and clinical training before use. Contact our team through the contact page to discuss warranty terms and setup for your clinic.
