Q-Switch Laser

Laser toning, pigmentation and tattoo removal

A European Q-switch laser that breaks up excess pigment in ultra-short pulses: for laser toning, freckles, uneven tone and tattoo removal.

Options

  • Laser toning
  • Q-switch, face and neck
  • Q-switch, hands and neck
  • Tattoo removal

Your final price is confirmed at your consultation.

Who it's for
  • Pigment is your main concern
  • You want gradual, low-downtime improvement
  • You'll commit to daily sunscreen
How it works

The Q-switch laser fires light in extremely short pulses, a few billionths of a second each. Pigment absorbs the energy and shatters into tiny particles that the body clears over the following weeks, while the skin around it stays intact. It works with two wavelengths: a longer one that reaches deeper pigment and is the safe choice for Indian skin, used for laser toning, and a shorter one for surface spots like freckles and sun spots. Low-energy passes over the whole face even out tone; focused pulses treat individual spots and tattoo ink.

I had troubled skin when my PCOD peaked and realised it was something only a professional could help me with. My skin has improved phenomenally under her guidance. She understands the concern and helps improve it to its root, rather than working simply on the surface.

I went in to have a peel and she answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I love the cold air they blow to help not feel the pinches. I love my results.

My hair had been thinning, and after my pregnancy it was much more noticeable. She recommended I start on mesotherapy, and I am loving what I see already.

Can it remove melasma for good?

Melasma can be controlled but tends to return with sun and hormones. Q-switch toning works best alongside depigmentation peels, home care and strict sunscreen.

How many sessions does tattoo removal take?

It depends on the ink colour, depth and age of the tattoo. Many need several sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. We'll estimate after seeing it.

Is laser toning safe for Indian skin?

Yes, with settings matched to your skin. Low-energy toning is one of the gentler laser options.

Is there any downtime after Q-Switch Laser?

Mild redness for a few hours. Spot treatments may darken and flake for a week. Your post-care notes cover exactly what to avoid, and for how long.

When will I see results from Q-Switch Laser?

Tone evens gradually over sessions. How long it lasts: maintain with sunscreen and occasional toning. Results vary from person to person.
