Pre-Care Q Switch Protocols
Consultation
Schedule a consultation with a licensed practitioner to discuss your goals, assess your skin type, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for Q-switch laser treatment.
Sun Protection
Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen with a high SPF on the treatment area for at least two weeks before the procedure to minimize the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation.
Avoid Tanning
Do not use tanning beds or self-tanning products prior to treatment.
Skin Care Products:
Discontinue the use of retinoids, glycolic acids, or any other skincare products that may sensitize the skin for a few days before the procedure.
Pain Management
If needed, discuss pain management options with your practitioner, as topical anesthetics may be applied before the procedure.
Medical History
Provide a comprehensive medical history to your practitioner, including any medications, allergies, or recent illnesses.
