Lasers emit specific wavelengths which are absorbed by different targets in the skin, i.e melanin, blood vessels, and/or redness. The Q switched Nd:YAG is used to treat brown spots associated with aging and sun exposure. Patients will typically feel stinging during treatment. The treated areas will develop small scabs that will fall off in 7-14 days depending on the body area. The underlying area may be slightly pink and fade to your normal skin color. When treating blood vessels and redness, the area will be red and fade in a few days.

Strict sun avoidance is necessary two weeks prior to and post-treatment.
