• Pigmentation issues (melasma, sun spots, freckles)

• Tattoo removal

• Uneven skin tone

• Dull skin and fine lines

“Q-switched” refers to how the laser energy is delivered — in ultra-fast bursts that break down pigment into tiny particles your body can naturally clear away.

Benefits of Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser

• Lightens hyperpigmentation and melasma

• Helps with freckles, sun spots, and age spots

• Removes tattoos (black, blue, green inks respond best)

• Reduces acne scars and post-inflammatory marks

• Brightens and evens out overall skin tone

• Minimizes pore size

• Stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother skin

 How It Works

• The laser emits light energy that gets absorbed by melanin or tattoo ink.

• That energy shatters pigment particles which are then cleared by your lymphatic system over time.

• Can also stimulate dermal remodeling for overall skin texture improvement.

 Treatment Time & Downtime

• Sessions last 15–45 minutes, depending on the area treated.

• Minimal downtime:

  • Some redness, swelling, or mild warmth right after

  • For pigmentation, skin might temporarily darken before lightening

• Most people go back to regular activities the same day

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

• Pigmentation: 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart

• Tattoo removal: 6–12+ sessions (varies by color, size, and depth)

• Skin rejuvenation: Monthly or every 6–8 weeks for maintenance

Aftercare Tips

• Avoid sun exposure for a week post-treatment

• Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily

• No scrubbing, exfoliating, or harsh products for 3–5 days

• Keep the skin hydrated and soothed

Who It's Best For

• People with melasma, sun damage, or PIH

• Those looking to remove tattoos

• Anyone who wants a brighter, more even complexion

• Works well for darker skin types too (when done by a trained professional)
