The Contrast

For the spots that won’t quit

Creams fade slowly and lasers like IPL treat broadly. Q-switched energy physically shatters individual stubborn spots — precision other treatments can’t match.

Q-Switched Laser

Precise & powerful

  • Shatters pigment your body then clears
  • Spares the surrounding skin entirely
  • Works where creams and IPL fell short
  • Visible fading with each session
  • Every lesion medically assessed first
Creams & Broad Treatments

Slow & unfocused

  • Months of fading, if any
  • Treat broadly, not pinpoint
  • Struggle with deep, stubborn pigment
  • Inconsistent on individual spots
  • No assessment of what it is

The Treatment

For the spots that won’t quit

Q-switched lasers fire ultra-short, high-energy pulses that shatter pigment particles into fragments your body clears naturally — while sparing the surrounding skin entirely.

It’s the precision tool for stubborn discrete spots that creams and gentler lasers couldn’t shift: dark spots, freckles, and assessed pigmented lesions.

Q-Switched FAQ

Common questions

IPL treats diffuse tone and redness across the face; Q-switched is pinpoint power for individual stubborn spots. Different jobs, often combined.
A careful range — settings are tone-adjusted and we assess pigment-change risk honestly at consult.
Cautiously, if at all — melasma often worsens with aggressive lasers. We usually steer melasma to Moxi and protocols instead.
2–6 depending on the pigment’s depth and stubbornness.
Shattered pigment is gone; new pigment can form with sun exposure — SPF protects the result.
Ask at consult — tattoo fading is assessed case-by-case.
