The Q-Switch Nd YAG Laser is a high-intensity, pulsed laser treatment designed to break down pigment in the skin (such as freckles, sun spots, melasma, brown patches) or unwanted tattoo ink. Its energy is delivered in very short bursts, targeting pigment without excessive heat damage to surrounding tissue.
At The Skin Firm, NIBM, Pune, we use medical-grade Q-Switch lasers calibrated for Indian skin tones to safely reduce pigmentation, even tone, and fade discolorations.
Dark spots, age spots or sun damage
Melasma (patchy facial pigmentation)
Freckles and brown patches from sun exposure
Uneven skin tone or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (after acne, injuries)
Unwanted tattoos (certain inks/colors)
Dark underarms or neck pigmentation

At The Skin Firm, Pune, our Q-Switch Nd YAG laser treatments are delivered under expert dermatological supervision by Dr. Karishma Singh, ensuring precise diagnosis and a safe, effective treatment plan.
Each session is customized according to your skin type, pigmentation depth, and area being treated, minimizing risks such as burns or post-treatment hyperpigmentation. Using medical-grade Q-Switch laser equipment with advanced safety features, we prioritize comfort through cooling systems, numbing where required, patch tests, and protective eye measures. With a proven track record of visible and lasting results, our treatments are designed for efficiency, often requiring fewer sessions, with careful follow-ups to ensure optimal outcomes.
Consultation & Skin/Pigment Assessment
We evaluate the type, depth, and cause of pigmentation or tattoo ink, your skin type, past treatments, and overall skin health.
Personalized Treatment Plan
A treatment plan is created specifying the number of sessions, intervals, laser energy settings, and supportive care to achieve skin rejuvenation.
The Procedure
Laser pulses are applied to the pigmented area. Cooling, protective measures in place. Sensation may feel like snapping or heat - generally tolerable under professional care. Session duration depends on size/location of area.
