DRx Malaysia | Q-Switched Laser Review

AMEN TO THAT !

Those freckles on my left cheek have been there since forever (read: high school) and it gets darker and bigger as I get older. Last Tuesday was my third session of Q-Switched Laser Treatment in DRx, although it is still not completely gone yet but I am very satisfied that it looks so much lighter now. Besides, my dull skin is now looking brighter and smoother too!

What is DRx Q-SWITCHED LASER TREATMENT? 
Q-Switched Laser is one of the lasers that is FDA approved for treating pigmentations and to remove deep hyper-pigmented conditions like tattoos and birthmarks. The laser delivers energy to targeted dark spots. The energy absorbed by melanin, thus breaks down and disintegrates the pigments into smaller fragments, and is eliminated by the body's natural lymphatic system. You will see lesser and lightened spots in after several treatments, with treatment every three weeks to remove all spots and to prevent new one.

This treatment is highly recommended for :

• Pigmented conditions
• Minor acne pigmented marks
• Skin rejuvenation 
• Tattoo and birthmark removal

Procedure of DRx Q-SWITCHED LASER TREATMENT.

This is a simple procedure which requires only 30 minutes (+ another 30 minutes if you prefer to apply numb cream beforehand). 

Is DRx Q-SWITCHED LASER TREATMENT Painful? 

In general, a laser treatment is not a painful treatment. This experience could be different for everyone because we all handle pain differently.

I have a low pain tolerance. During my first session, I felt a slight (very bearable) pain - stinging sensation as the laser moved around my face even after I applied numb cream. As for second and third session, I did not feel the pain, not at all! 

DRx Q-SWITCHED LASER TREATMENT Downtime. 

The downtime for this treatment is relatively low, about 3 to 5 days, depending on individual skin type.

On the fifth day, those scabs on my face completely fell off. Honestly, it wasn't a big deal to me, I still went out for my daily activities. I think I looked perfectly fine ;). 

The spots tend to look darker before it looks lighter, so do not be afraid!

DRx Q-SWITCHED LASER TREATMENT Aftercare.

It is crucial to keep skin moisturised and protect skin from sun exposure especially during the first week after the treatment. Remember to apply the smoothing cream given by the clinic, and apply moisturiser and sunscreen more often.
