Q Switch Laser Treatment

A Practical Look at Q Switch Laser Treatments in Melbourne

Always Start with a One-On-One Consultation

We begin every treatment process with a face-to-face consultation. No generic charts or templated advice. We’ll look at your skin, ask about its history (and yours), and talk through what you’re hoping to improve. Some pigmentation responds really well to the Q Switch Nd:Yag Laser. Other times, it’s not the best choice, and we’ll tell you that up front. We prioritise client satisfaction and ensure that every treatment you undertake with us adds value to your skin’s health.

How the Laser Actually Works

This laser doesn’t resurface or peel. It targets pigment specifically. The pulses go deep enough to reach melanin deposits, breaking them into smaller bits. From there, your lymphatic system does the clearing work. It doesn’t wipe spots away instantly but over time, many clients notice a clearer tone in the treated areas.

Where is ND:Yag Q Switch Most Useful

We commonly treat the:

• Cheeks and forehead
• Jawline and neck
• Hands and arms
• Décolletage and shoulders

These areas tend to pick up the most sun damage over the years. Laser Q Switch is often used when pigmentation in these spots feels more noticeable than you’d like. It’s not a full-face treatment, we zero down on the areas that need it.

What to Expect During and After

The sessions are quick, usually under 30 minutes. You’ll feel heat or snapping sensations, but it doesn’t linger. Afterward, the treated spots may temporarily darken, which is part of the natural fading process. You might notice some redness or warmth for a short while. Most people head back to work or run errands immediately. What matters is how your skin responds over time, not in the first hour.

Aftercare That’s Actually Doable

There’s no complex routine. Just gentle, consistent care:

• Keep the area clean and cool
• Avoid strong products (like retinol or AHAs) for about a week
• Use sunscreen every day, even when it is cloudy
• Skip saunas, facials, and heavy workouts for a couple of days
• Don’t pick at any darkened areas as they begin to fade

We give you clear guidance, and if something feels off, you’ll know how to reach us.

We Keep It TGA-Compliant, Always

We never promote prescription-only products or promise unrealistic outcomes. Any laser treatment at Kiora is only offered after a direct consultation with one of our qualified practitioners, in line with TGA guidelines. This ensures your treatment is not only appropriate but fully understood before we proceed. Your safety and clarity come before anything else.
