Q-Switched Laser Rejuvenation

What is Q-Switched Laser Rejuvenation?

Q-switched laser is a non-ablative laser rejuvenation treatment that delivers Q-switched 1064nm energy beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen and elastin production while leaving the outer layer untouched. It is often called a "lunchtime laser" because there is essentially no downtime, no peeling, and no visible recovery. Over a course of sessions, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even-toned, with softened fine lines and a refreshed overall quality. Q-switched laser is suitable for all skin types, including darker phototypes that often cannot tolerate more aggressive resurfacing lasers.

How It Works

The Q-switched laser handpiece delivers ultra-short Q-switched laser pulses that pass through the epidermis without ablating it. The energy is absorbed in the dermis, creating a controlled photoacoustic effect that triggers a wound-healing response. Fibroblasts respond by producing new collagen and elastin over the following weeks, gradually firming and refining the skin from within.
