How it works
Q-switch laser uses short, targeted pulses of energy to break pigment or ink into tiny fragments that the body can gradually process. Treatments are always preceded by a detailed consultation and, where needed, patch testing to check how your skin responds.
Benefits
- Targets isolated sun spots and age spots on face or body.
- Can soften or remove selected cosmetic tattoos where appropriate.
- Staged, controlled approach designed around your goals and skin type.
Good for / Not for
- Good for: small to medium areas of unwanted pigment or suitable cosmetic tattoo ink.
- Not for: heavily tanned skin, unstable medical conditions, pregnancy or unrealistic expectations for complete removal in one visit.
What to expect
- Appointment time: Approx. 15–45 minutes depending on the size and number of areas.
- Sensation: Sharp elastic-band snaps with warmth in the treated area.
- Downtime: Temporary whitening, redness or pinpoint crusting that settles over several days with correct aftercare.
Aftercare
- Keep the area clean, dry and protected; avoid picking at any flaking or crusting.
- Strictly avoid sun exposure on the treated area and use SPF 30+ daily.
Not all pigment or tattoos can be safely treated. We’ll confirm suitability and outline a realistic treatment plan during your consultation.
