About Q-Switch 1064 Laser Rejuvenation
Q-Switch 1064 Laser Rejuvenation
Q-switching refers to the pulse: energy delivered in extremely short bursts. Because the pulse is so brief, the energy acts on pigment with less heat spreading into the surrounding skin than a longer pulse would produce.
The 1064 nm wavelength travels deeper and is absorbed less by surface melanin, which is why it is often the preferred choice for deeper skin tones where more superficial wavelengths carry more risk.
Clients book it for clarity rather than for a single mark (more even tone, a cleaner-looking surface), although specific pigmented spots can also be targeted. Your practitioner will say which your skin suits.
How the laser is used
Your practitioner assesses your skin tone, the pigment you want addressed, and your recent sun exposure. A current tan usually means postponing, since it changes how the skin responds.
Protective eyewear is worn and the laser is passed across the area in a controlled pattern, with settings chosen for your skin rather than a default protocol.
Pigment that has been targeted may look slightly darker before it clears, which is expected. Sessions are planned as a course, spaced to let the skin settle in between.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
The questions clients ask us most about Q-Switch 1064 Laser Rejuvenation.
The 1064 nm wavelength is commonly selected for deeper skin tones precisely because it is absorbed less by surface melanin. Your practitioner still assesses your skin, starts conservatively, and may patch test before a full session.
Rarely. Pigment work is almost always a course, and how many sessions depends on how deep the pigment sits and what caused it. You will be given a realistic range after assessment.
Melasma is hormonally influenced and prone to returning, so laser is approached cautiously and is often not the first choice. Your practitioner may recommend a depigmentation protocol such as Cosmelan or Dermamelan instead, or alongside, and will explain the reasoning.
Sessions are usually postponed until a tan has faded. Treating recently tanned skin changes how the energy is absorbed and raises the risk of an uneven result.
