What is Q-Switch Laser?
The Q-Switch Treatment is an innovation that uses a laser to produce high-intensity beams in very short pulses that break down pigments that are released into the skin and disposed of by your body.
You can expect the Q-Switch Laser Treatment to address uneven skin tone, as well as to lighten or remove pigmentation and acne scars. The procedure can be used to tone many areas of the body including the face, neck, chest, and back.

Bodycraft's Q-Switch Laser Process
• Avoid harsh exfoliating cleansers or scrubs, bleaching creams or retinoids (Retin-A) 3 days prior to the treatment.
• Treatments cannot be performed on areas with a suntan or sunburn. So, avoid direct prolonged sun exposure 2 weeks before.
• Inform your doctor about any new medications you may have begun using.
• Your face is cleaned, and then a thin layer of carbon is applied.
• The doctor will provide eye shields to guard your eyes against the laser after the carbon has solidified.
• A low-energy laser will be projected on the skin which will cause the carbon to heat up and bind to the skin.
• On a higher energy setting, the laser will break up the liquid carbon into tiny particles.
• The smoke evaporator connected to the laser will remove the carbon as well as the debris and impurities it contains.
• Following the treatment, cotton and saline are used to clean the treated region.
• Use your depigmenting cream or anti-acne cream prescribed after 3 days of this procedure.
• Use sunscreen regularly with at least SPF 50+ for several days after treatment.
• Apply moisturiser twice a day to hydrate and moisturise your skin.
• Do not use any retinol products for at least 5 days after treatment.
• Avoid direct sun exposure, hot baths, steam baths, saunas, and swimming for a week after the treatment.
• Avoid friction of any kind over the treated area, especially in case of a tattoo removal procedure.
• Do not use any exfoliating or peeling treatments for at least a week after the treatment.
• Avoid vigorous activities, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
