Benefits of Q-Switched ND YAG Laser

This laser works by delivering beams of light in nanoseconds to the targeted area. The affected region absorbs the energy, breaking down pigmentation and brightening the skin without causing damage to surrounding tissues.

Key benefits include:

• Effective removal of age spots, sun spots, freckles, and pigmentation

• Highly successful in tattoo removal procedures

• Stimulates collagen production and supports skin rejuvenation

• Improves skin tone, leaving it brighter and more even

• No interruption to daily life after treatment

By promoting collagen synthesis, the treatment also helps reverse signs of aging, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Aftercare Following Fotona Q Switch ND YAG Laser Treatment

After the procedure, the skin may show mild redness, but this does not affect daily life. To achieve optimal results and protect the skin, the following precautions are recommended:

1. Protect the Skin from Sunlight

• Avoid direct sun exposure for the first 1–2 weeks.

• Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen regularly, even on cloudy days.

• Stay away from tanning beds and prolonged UV exposure.

2. Avoid Skin Irritation

• Do not use chemical peels, retinol, or products containing AHA/BHA for several days.

• Wash the face with gentle cleansers.

• Avoid rubbing, harsh scrubbing, or exposing the skin to hot water.

3. Moisturize and Support Skin Healing

• Use fragrance-free, dermatologist-recommended moisturizers.

• Drink plenty of water to support skin renewal.

• Prevent dryness by keeping the skin hydrated.

4. Avoid Makeup in the First 24 Hours

• Allow the skin to breathe by not applying makeup on the first day.

• If needed later, choose light, mineral-based products.
