Short answer

Q-switched laser at Kaya refers to a clinic-based pigment treatment, so confirm the device, clinician, target concern and aftercare before booking.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What to clarify about the service

Q-switched laser is a technology that delivers very brief light pulses. It may be used for selected pigmentation concerns and, in some settings, tattoo ink. The same device can be used with different wavelengths and settings, so a service name does not by itself describe the treatment you will receive.

A proper assessment should identify the mark or pigment being treated, consider your skin tone and recent sun exposure, and explain expected temporary reactions. Redness, sensitivity, swelling, darkening or lightening of the treated area can occur. Ask who will assess you, who will perform the procedure and how follow-up is arranged.

Before and after an appointment

Bring a list of medicines and skincare products, and mention prior laser treatments, cold sores, keloid scars, eczema or dark marks after injury. Do not treat a changing or uncertain mole as a cosmetic pigment problem. Ask for written instructions and whether a test area is recommended.

Afterwards, keep the area clean, moisturised and protected from sunlight. Avoid picking, friction, heat exposure and irritating products while the skin is reactive. Keep the clinic's contact details and attend the planned review if the result or healing is not as expected.

Warning signs after treatment

Contact the clinic for worsening pain, blistering, open skin, increasing warmth, spreading redness or unexpected colour change. Prompt medical assessment is needed for pus, fever, facial swelling affecting breathing, or eye pain or vision changes after treatment near the eyes.

Questions to take with you

What diagnosis or pigment type are you treating? Which Q-switched wavelength will you use? Who performs the procedure and what happens if my skin develops a dark or light patch? What aftercare and follow-up are included?

Questions people ask

Is a clinic brand enough to decide whether treatment suits me?

No. Suitability depends on the pigment diagnosis, device settings, clinician assessment and your skin's response history.

Should I ask about a test spot?

A clinician may suggest a test area when your skin tone or history suggests a higher risk of colour change.
