Q-Switch Laser

Advanced laser technology that targets and breaks down excess melanin to reduce pigmentation and even out skin tone.

What is Q-Switch Laser?

A Q-switched laser releases energy in extremely short pulses. The pigment in the skin absorbs this energy and breaks into tiny particles, which the body then clears naturally — without heating or damaging the surrounding skin.

It is used for many types of pigmentation, from sun spots and freckles to some birthmarks, and at low energy for overall skin toning. Some conditions such as melasma need a careful, combined approach, which the dermatologist will plan.
