LASER HAIR REMOVAL
The innovative Q-Switch Laser improves skin texture, pigmentation, redness and pore size. It’s the treatment to choose when dealing with stubborn skin pigment and complexion issues such as melasma, age spots and pigmented acne scarring. Available in selected clinics.
The low down
Q-Switch Laser is suitable for skin types 1-3 and is particularly effective on stubborn age spots and pigmentation.
The number of treatments needed varies for each individual, depending on the pigment or melasma you wish to treat. In most cases, you will start to see the real benefits of Q-Switch Laser after 4 or 5 treatments, and for the best results we recommend 10 or more treatments. For best value and results, our Skin Journeys™ combine in-clinic treatments with at-home skincare.
Pigment areas will become darker within a few hours of the laser treatment. Q-Switch works differently to other lasers where hyperpigmentation is suppressed and pushed deeper into the skin, where it fades away at the surface level. This may take approximately 2 weeks.
Q-Switch Laser side effects are rare. Some people may experience sensitivity during the treatment or a breakout post-treatment as impurities are purged from skin.
Q-Switch Laser causes minimal discomfort compared to other skin rejuvenation treatments. The laser energy feels warm and prickly, but it isn’t painful. The treated area may feel a little like sunburn afterwards, but no downtime is needed.
To maximise the benefits of Q-Switch Laser, we recommend the first 10 treatments be performed at 1-month intervals.
