LUCID Q-PTP
1064 and 532 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG with PTP mode, for pigment, tattoos and toning.

What it is
LUCID Q-PTP is a 1064 and 532 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. On top of Q-switched technology, widely used for pigment, it adds the PTP function, which splits one pulse into two to reduce pain and side effects during the procedure, according to the manufacturer.
At 1064 nm it reaches 25 Hz for fast work. Its Quasi-Long mode (300 µs) allows rejuvenation with the Genesis technique. It is Bison Medical's flagship device and holds US FDA 510(k) clearance (K161670).
