My Q-Switch Laser Experience at Clinic MF

I was at Clinic MF at Mid Valley to try out their Q-Switch Laser recently. There are Clinic MF branches, one is at The Boulevard, Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur and the other is at Atria Shopping Gallery, Petaling Jaya. The staffs were friendly and greeted me. They gave me a form to fill out my details. 

In the consultation room, Dr. Felicia Soong checked my skin and looked at areas on my face where I needed the laser to be done. Q-Switch Laser is one of the most technologically advanced lasers that is FDA approved for cleaning out embedded dead cells which includes both superficial and deep hyper-pigmented conditions. She told me the benefits of Q-Switch Laser which includes :

1. Speeding up renewal process
2. Minimizing pores, refine lines and brightening skin tones
3. Effectively treats various types of pigmentation such as aging spots, melasma as well as vascular lesions.
4. Tattoo removal.

I was asked to lie down on this clean bed to have the pre-cleansing treatment done. My face was cleansed and I had the anaesthetic cream put on areas which needed treatment. This process lasted about 15 to 20 minutes.

The next procedure was the Q-Switch laser done by Dr. Felicia in another room. She was a very good doctor because she asked questions to make sure I was comfortable and feeling fine. When she was doing this Q-switch laser treatment, I felt my face hot and slightly painful at treated areas. The pain was bearable as I had anaesthetic cream put on my face earlier. I could smell slight burnt smell while doing this. If you feel any discomfort that is not bearable, you can always tell the doctor to reduce the intensity level. This treatment lasted about 15 to 20 minutes. 

The last procedure is the post treatment which includes putting the cold Hydrogel mask which really made me feel better after the hot laser treatment. The beautician also put moisturizer and sunscreen on my face. I was told to that there will be slight redness for about an hour. For the spot treatment like freckles or solar lentigenes, KTP mode will be used. A small scab could form within the next 2 to 3 days but do not scratch it. Just let it fall off naturally around the 5th day.

Dr. Felicia told me to put sunblock daily and since my skin will feel dry, I need to put moisturizer or hydrating mask 3 times a day for the first 5 days. After this Q-switch laser, I am allowed to wash my face and put on makeup like usual. Normal facial is also allowed. Stay away from the sun light and do not use toner for first 3 days, do not use any facial scrub for the next 2 weeks.

This was a good experience for me trying out the Q-Switch Laser treatment. Hope my skin will look better with less scars and fine lines. If you are interested to try this treatment, you can check out Clinic MF's FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM to find out more.
