How does Q-Switched Laser treatment work?

First of all, we start with a skin analysis and then your makeup ,if you wear any, will be removed. This method can both act as a spot treatment and hair bleaching treatment. If it is applied to treat spots, we recommend you to have 4 sessions leaving one week between the sessions.Since Q-Switched laser is not a harsh treatment, you can repeat the sessions as your esthetician recommended. This way, your spots will not become darker. If this treatment is applied for hair bleaching, you may repeat the sessions 1-2 times in a month.

What to do and what not to do after a Q-Switched laser session?

You should avoid sun exposure and you should apply sunscreen.
