What is Q-Switch Laser Therapy?
Q-Switch Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, advanced laser treatment that delivers ultra-short pulses of high energy light to targeted skin areas without damaging surrounding tissue. It's especially effective for pigmentation, acne scars, freckles, tanning, tattoos, and dull skin.
The therapy is known for its precision, minimal downtime, and instant glow effect, making it popular for both treatment and skin rejuvenation purposes.
“Q-switch” stands for "Quality-switched" — a laser technology that produces high-intensity, short bursts of light (measured in nanoseconds) to shatter pigment particles or stimulate collagen production.
