Frequently asked questions
Questions about q-switch laser
Helpful guidance before your consultation and treatment plan.
Is Q-Switch Laser suitable for my concern and skin tone?
Suitability depends on your concern, skin tone, recent tanning, sensitivity and treatment history. The dermatologist selects the technology and settings after examining your skin, and may advise a patch test.
How many sessions will I need?
The number and spacing of sessions depend on the treatment area, severity and your response. Most laser and energy-based treatments work gradually, so your expected plan is discussed after assessment.
What will the treatment feel like?
Sensation varies by device and treatment depth. You may feel warmth, tingling or brief snapping sensations. Cooling or numbing cream may be used when appropriate.
What precautions should I take before treatment?
Avoid tanning, excessive sun exposure and irritating skin products as advised. Tell your dermatologist about medicines, active infections and recent procedures before treatment.
What should I expect after treatment?
Temporary redness, warmth or sensitivity may occur. Recovery varies by procedure, and you will receive specific guidance for cleansing, moisturising, sun protection and restarting active skincare.
