Q-Switch Laser
This Q-Switch laser is ideal for treating a full spectrum of benign pigmented lesions, including solar lentigines (sun spots), age spots, acquired dermal melanocytosis, Nevus of Ota, Nevus of Ito, and the common freckle. It also treats tattoos.
Q-Switched Laser Treatment at Laser Skin Care Center
At Laser Skin Care Center, our physicians use the Q-Switched laser to treat a variety of skin concerns—particularly unwanted pigmentation, tattoo ink, and signs of sun damage. This advanced, noninvasive laser technology delivers short, high-intensity pulses that safely break down pigment in the skin without harming the surrounding tissue. FDA-approved and widely trusted, the Q-Switch laser has been used effectively by our team to restore clearer, more even-toned skin.
What Is the Q-Switched Laser Used For?
The Q-Switch laser is a versatile treatment that targets excess pigmentation in the skin, such as sun spots, freckles, melasma, and certain types of birthmarks. It’s also one of the most effective technologies available for tattoo removal, regardless of ink color. While commonly used on the face, the Q-Switched laser is equally effective on areas like the chest, shoulders, back, and hands—regions often affected by sun exposure or prior treatments.
Patients at Laser Skin Care Center have experienced improvement in:
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Sun spots and age spots
- Melasma and other forms of discoloration
- Tattoo removal (all colors)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Birthmarks and vascular lesions
How Does the Q-Switched Laser Work?
Q-Switch laser technology works by delivering ultra-short bursts of energy into the skin, targeting pigment and ink particles with precision. The energy pulses break down these particles into tiny fragments, which the body’s natural processes gradually eliminate. Because it works in extremely short pulses—measured in nanoseconds—the laser minimizes heat damage to surrounding skin, making it both safe and effective.
A typical treatment session takes about 15–30 minutes, though appointment times may vary depending on the treatment area and whether numbing is needed. Most patients experience only mild discomfort, and downtime is generally minimal.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from Q-Switched laser treatments are gradual and improve with each session. Many patients notice a visible reduction in pigmentation or ink after just one treatment, with continued progress over the following weeks. For best results, a series of treatments may be recommended, depending on the condition being treated. Your skin is in expert hands with the dedicated team at Laser Skin Care Centers.
