Freckles & sun spots
Flat brown spots on the surface of the skin (lentigines) often respond well, sometimes in fewer sessions.

Q-Switch Laser Treatment in Jaipur
A nanosecond laser for pigmentation, laser toning and ink lightening — ₹4,000 per session, usually 6 sessions per condition.
A Q-switched laser fires very short, high-energy pulses of light that break pigment into tiny particles your body can then clear. It is used for freckles, sun spots and other pigment problems, for gentle 'laser toning' as part of melasma care, and for lightening tattoo or permanent-makeup ink. At Kezza Clinic, Q-switch laser treatment is done by Dr. Neelam Choudhary, Dental Surgeon (BDS) · Facial Aesthetics & Clinical Cosmetology, at ₹4,000 per session — usually 6 sessions per condition.

How it works
Nanosecond pulses shatter pigment without relying on heat, which is why Q-switched lasers are used on darker skin with careful settings.
What to expect at Kezza
- Doctor-led settings. Dr. Neelam Choudhary chooses the wavelength, energy and spacing for your skin type and pigment.
- Diagnosis first. Pigment is assessed before treatment — any changing or unusual spot is checked by a doctor before laser is considered.
- A clear plan. ₹4,000 per session, usually 6 sessions per condition, reviewed as you go.
- Care that protects results. Sunscreen and, when needed, prescription creams — laser alone rarely controls melasma.
The Treatment
What is a Q-switched laser?
'Q-switched' describes how the laser releases its energy: in pulses that last only a few billionths of a second (nanoseconds). Energy delivered that fast creates a photo-acoustic effect — a tiny shock wave — that breaks pigment particles apart rather than slowly heating the skin. The fragments are then cleared by the body over the following weeks.
The most common type is the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Its 1064 nm wavelength reaches deeper pigment and is the usual choice for Indian skin, because it is absorbed less by the skin's own surface melanin. A 532 nm wavelength is used for some superficial brown spots and red or orange ink.
Laser toning is a gentle way of using the 1064 nm laser: low-energy passes over the whole face, repeated over several sessions, to lighten diffuse pigment such as melasma. It is one part of melasma care, alongside sunscreen and creams — not a cure on its own.

For unwanted hair see laser hair removal; for acne scars and texture see microneedling.

Uses
What a Q-switch laser can treat
Your doctor confirms the diagnosis first, because different pigment problems respond very differently.
Suitability
Is Q-switch laser right for you?
It may suit you if
- You have freckles, sun spots or another pigment problem diagnosed by a doctor
- You want to lighten melasma as part of a long-term plan, not a one-off fix
- You have an unwanted tattoo or PMU and understand it takes several sessions
- You can protect your skin from the sun between sessions
Tell your doctor first if
- A spot is new, changing, bleeding or itchy — it must be examined before any laser
- You have a fresh tan or recent sunburn
- You have taken isotretinoin, or use medicines that make the skin sensitive to light
- You have had keloids, cold sores near the area, or an active skin infection
- You are pregnant
Melasma is influenced by hormones, heat and light. A laser can lighten it, but sunscreen and follow-up care are what keep it under control.
Step by Step
How a Q-switch laser session works
- 01Consultation
Diagnosis and plan
Dr. Neelam examines your skin and the pigment, asks about medicines and sun exposure, and explains how many sessions are likely.
- 02Test spot
When needed
A small test area may be treated first to check how your skin responds.
- 03Preparation
Clean skin, eye shields
Makeup is removed and you wear protective eye shields throughout the session.
- 04Laser
10–20 minutes for the face
The laser passes over the area; most people feel a light snapping or warm prickling. Numbing cream can be used for tattoos.
- 05Aftercare
Calm and protect
The skin is cooled and moisturised. Use sunscreen daily and avoid harsh products for a few days.
- 06Next session
Every few weeks
Sessions are spaced a few weeks apart — longer for tattoos — and progress is reviewed at each visit.

What to expect after a session
- Same day
Redness
Mild redness or warmth that usually settles within hours.

Treated brown spots may turn darker and flake off; do not pick them.
- Weeks 2–4
Next session
Toning sessions are usually repeated every few weeks.
- ~6 sessions
Review
Results are reviewed and the plan adjusted.
- Ongoing
Maintenance
Sunscreen and occasional maintenance help keep pigment from returning.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
At Kezza Clinic, a Q-switch laser session costs ₹4,000. Most conditions are planned as about 6 sessions, and Dr. Neelam Choudhary reviews your progress and the number of sessions as you go.
Usually about 6 sessions per condition, spaced a few weeks apart. Surface spots can need fewer; melasma, deeper pigment and tattoos often need more, and melasma usually needs maintenance.
It can be, when it is used with suitable settings. The 1064 nm wavelength is the usual choice for darker skin because it is absorbed less by surface melanin. There is still a risk of darker or lighter patches, which is why a doctor sets the energy and spacing and why sun protection matters.
Most people feel a light snapping or warm prickling. Toning for pigment is usually well tolerated; tattoo sessions are more uncomfortable, and numbing cream can be used.
No treatment cures melasma, because hormones, heat and light keep triggering it. Laser toning can lighten it as part of a plan with sunscreen and prescription creams, and maintenance helps keep it under control.
Usually very little. Redness settles within hours, and treated brown spots may darken and flake off over about a week. You can return to work the same day.
It can lighten most tattoos a great deal, but complete removal is not always possible. Black and dark blue inks respond best; some colours respond poorly, and several sessions are needed.
