What is a Q-Switched ND Yag session like?

Your Forefront Dermatologist will numb the area with a topical cream or may use a local anesthetic to reduce any discomfort. You will also be provided with protective eyewear.

Your dermatologist will then guide a focused laser across the treatment area, and deliver powerful bursts of energy to break down pigment. Some minimal discomfort is common during the procedure, as the laser will cause micro-damage in the skin.
