Q-switched Laser
At DAO Clinic, we offer Q-Switched Laser, a trusted and effective solution for treating pigmentation, dark spots, and tattoo removal with precision and care.
Using nanosecond laser pulses, the Q-Switched Laser targets melanin in the skin to break down unwanted pigmentation and ink particles while preserving surrounding tissue. It’s a safe, non-invasive option for anyone looking to even out skin tone, clear sun damage, or remove tattoos without surgery.
What to Expect (Step-by-Step):
-
Step 1: Consultation – Your session begins with a detailed consultation, where our specialist assesses your skin type, pigmentation issues, or tattoo characteristics to customize the treatment plan.
-
Step 2: Preparation – The skin will be cleansed thoroughly. Depending on the area, a numbing cream may be applied to ensure maximum comfort during the session.
-
Step 3: Q-Switched Laser Treatment – The device delivers high-intensity pulses of laser energy to the targeted area. You may feel a snapping sensation on the skin. The procedure usually lasts 15–30 minutes.
-
Step 4: Recovery – Post-treatment, you may experience redness, mild swelling, or slight darkening of pigmented areas. These are normal and usually subside within 1–3 days.
-
Step 5: Results – Gradual fading of pigmentation or tattoos will begin over the following weeks. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the depth and size of the concern.
