Q-switched Nd:YAG laser care for selected pigmentation, post-acne marks and uneven-looking skin tone. Your treatment settings and plan are selected after consultation.
Target pigment while supporting a clearer-looking complexion.
Pigmentation & uneven tone
Q-switched Nd:YAG laser energy is used to target selected pigment. Treatment choice depends on the type and depth of pigmentation, your skin tone and your treatment history.
Post-acne marks
Published clinical studies have reported improvement in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after acne with 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG treatment. Results vary and active acne may need a separate treatment plan.
Texture & acne scarring
Research has also explored 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG for mild-to-moderate atrophic acne scarring. It may support gradual improvement in skin texture, but scar response varies and other modalities may be more suitable for deeper scars.

Before you book
What to know about laser toning.
What does the treatment feel like?
You may notice warmth, tingling or a light snapping sensation. Temporary redness or sensitivity can occur. Your experience depends on the area treated, settings used and your skin.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no single number for everyone. Pigmentation type, acne marks, scar depth, skin tone and response all affect the plan. Some published studies used treatment courses rather than a single session, so we assess progress before recommending further visits.
What about melasma?
Melasma can be recurrent and difficult to treat. Research on low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG shows mixed results, so we avoid promising a permanent result and recommend careful assessment, sun protection and an individual maintenance plan.
What should I do after treatment?
Follow the aftercare advised for your skin, avoid unnecessary irritation and use appropriate daily sun protection. Pigmentation can return or worsen with sun exposure and other triggers.
Is C6 right for every pigmentation concern?
No. Different pigment conditions can look similar but require different approaches. We assess your skin and treatment history first, and may recommend another option or medical assessment where appropriate.
Evidence-informed care
What the research says.
Clinical literature on 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG includes studies of post-acne hyperpigmentation, acne scarring and melasma. Outcomes and protocols vary, particularly for melasma, so Jessie Beauty presents these benefits conservatively and bases treatment decisions on individual consultation rather than guarantees.
