Before Treatment:
Proper preparation ensures optimal results and minimizes side effects. Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh skin treatments for at least two weeks before the procedure. Discontinue retinoids, chemical peels, and exfoliating products a few days before treatment to prevent skin irritation. If you have a history of cold sores, inform your dermatologist, as antiviral medication may be recommended. Ensure your skin is clean, free of makeup, lotions, or creams on the day of the treatment.
During Treatment:
During the procedure, you will be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from laser light. The specialist will apply the Q-Switch laser to the targeted area, delivering short pulses of high-intensity light to break down pigment or tattoo ink. Some patients may experience a mild stinging sensation, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. A cooling gel or numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The session duration depends on the size of the treated area.
After Treatment:
Post-treatment care is crucial for healing. Avoid sun exposure, excessive sweating, and harsh skincare products for a few days. Apply moisturizer and sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect the skin. Mild redness, swelling, or scabbing may occur but typically subsides within a few days.
