A revolutionary and powerful procedure that uses high-intensity pulsed light waves to target melanin in the skin layers and is widely recommended for melasma, sun spots, age spots, freckles, uneven skin tone, and other dark spots. This wonderful treatment breaks melanin deposits, which later are sloughed off from the skin with lymphatic drainage, leaving behind youthful, clearer skin. This effective treatment provides optimal results with the highest standards of safety. There are several studies to prove its efficacy on both acquired and congenital hyperpigmentation. The targeted cutaneous tissue absorbs the laser light, and the heat generated also improves collagen synthesis, thereby enhancing skin texture.
This versatile laser works on the principle of selective photothermolysis; that is, the targeted pigment particle absorbs the wavelength emitted by the appliance, the ultra-short pulses only fragment the melanin or pigmented particle, and the surrounding tissue is not impacted, minimizing side effects and limiting the heat transfer to the neighboring region. The fragmented particles are then removed from the body through the metabolic pathways of the body facilitated by the lymphatic drainage system, resulting in the fading of the pigmentation over time, leading towards clearer skin.
Wondering if this safe procedure is suitable for you or not? Experts suggest that a Q switch laser device is designed for various indications:
The investment in the procedure will depend on the skin condition, the expectation of the guest, and the lifestyle, along with internal health and biochemical markers. Also, the variation also happens with clinic location and experience of the executing doctor. Therefore, the Q-switch laser treatment price is variable. In fact, the area to be catered also impacts the investment, as the number of shots varies.
If you have decided to proceed with laser lightening, there are multiple benefits you can expect and notice post-procedure:
It is important to note that this gentle and quick treatment should be avoided in pregnant and lactating females. Also, a thorough consultation with the doctor is necessary to understand the individual requirement and map the skin’s response, manifestation of the symptom, and other underlying medical conditions. There are certain medications and oral and topical drugs that increase the sensitivity of the skin for lasers. Therefore, a trained medical practitioner will determine the suitability of treatment for the guest.
