Freckle and tattoo removal treatment can also be performed with the same technique. Q Switched Nd:YAG Laser provides the reduction of all kinds of skin blemishes. Although the results vary depending on the skin type and the method of application, blemishes are cleared to a large extent. It also helps to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production. Also, the tautness of the skin improves, the pores are tightened, the differences in color and tone are reduced.

Most pigmented lesions do not come back. Some birthmarks, some stubborn and deeply located sunspots can sometimes return within a few months or a year - if sunscreen is not used. The lesion that returns will be a smaller lesion than it was before the treatment. Even if the person does not protect herself from the sun for 15 minutes because of temporary neglect, the blemish may try to reappear. However, the process is renewable. The number of sessions that will be needed, frequency and the probability of the blemish being resistant to treatment will be less.

The areas which are to be treated with laser blemish treatment, should not be tanned by the sun or tanning lotions. Darker parts of the skin which are a result of tanning can absorb laser beams, and this may result in skin irritation or blistering.
