What Is It?
Q-Switch laser uses short high-energy pulses to fragment pigment particles, which are then naturally cleared by the body.
Protocol planning depends on pigmentation type, depth, and skin profile to balance efficacy and safety.
A staged plan with strict photoprotection is crucial, especially in pigment-prone skin.
