Q-Switch Laser Treatment

The Q-Switch Laser is a state-of-the-art technology used for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation correction, and overall skin brightening. It works by delivering high-intensity pulses of light in nanoseconds, breaking down excess melanin and stimulating collagen without damaging the surrounding skin.

At R Define Aesthetic Clinic Dubai, we use FDA- and DHA-approved Q-Switch laser devices to treat a variety of skin concerns safely and effectively. The treatment is suitable for both men and women of all skin types.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

  1. Consultation: Your aesthetic laser specialist assesses your skin type and concerns.

  2. Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup or impurities.

  3. Laser Treatment: The Q-Switch handpiece delivers light pulses that target pigmentation and melanin beneath the skin surface.

  4. Soothing & Protection: Post-laser cooling gel and SPF are applied to soothe and protect the skin.

You may experience mild warmth or redness immediately after, which subsides within a few hours. Skin appears refreshed and gradually brighter within days.

Aftercare Instructions

To ensure best results and protect your skin:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 48–72 hours.

  • Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.

  • Avoid saunas, steam, and swimming for 2–3 days.

  • Do not scrub or exfoliate the treated area for a week.

  • Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.

  • Avoid using retinol or strong active products for 5 days post-treatment.

You may notice slight dryness or flaking as pigmentation fades — this is normal and temporary.
