An advanced laser treatment designed to reduce pigmentation, improve skin tone, and restore clearer, more even-looking skin.
Looking to reduce pigmentation, tanning, or uneven skin tone? QS Nd:YAG Laser Toning is a non-invasive treatment that targets excess melanin and helps improve overall skin clarity. At Kandhari Dermatology, this laser treatment is customised to brighten the skin, reduce pigmentation, and promote a more even, radiant complexion over time.

QS NdYAG Laser Toning is a non-ablative laser treatment that uses a Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser to selectively target excess melanin in the skin. The laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that fragment pigment deposits without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. This makes it highly effective for treating a range of pigmentation concerns including melasma, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Because the NdYAG wavelength is well tolerated by melanin-rich skin, it is one of the most popular and safe laser options for Indian skin tones, with no downtime and a progressive brightening effect over multiple sessions.
QS NdYAG laser toning is suitable for individuals with melasma, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or general uneven skin tone. It is safe for all skin types, including darker Indian skin tones. Active skin infections, pregnancy, or recent sun exposure may require treatment to be postponed. During consultation, the dermatologist will assess your pigmentation type and recommend the most appropriate laser settings and treatment schedule.
QS NdYAG laser toning progressively breaks down and clears pigmentation while improving overall skin brightness and clarity. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime, making it easy to incorporate into a regular skincare routine. Multiple sessions lead to cumulative improvements in skin tone, texture, and radiance. It also has a mild collagen-stimulating effect that contributes to overall skin rejuvenation.
Sun exposure should be strictly avoided and broad-spectrum sunscreen applied daily for at least two to four weeks before starting laser treatment. Discontinue photosensitising topical agents such as retinoids and AHAs for a few days before each session. Share your full skincare routine and any ongoing treatments with your dermatologist before beginning.
The skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is provided before treatment begins. The dermatologist passes the laser handpiece evenly across the treatment area, delivering rapid pulses of energy. Most patients experience a mild snapping or warm sensation. The session takes approximately 20–30 minutes. No anaesthesia is typically required. Skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after treatment, which resolves quickly.
Mild redness may occur for a few hours after treatment and resolves on its own. It is essential to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen immediately after treatment and consistently throughout the course. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a gentle skincare routine in the days following each session. Active pigmentation-targeting skincare recommended by your dermatologist can complement and enhance laser results.
QS NdYAG laser toning is a well-established and safe treatment for all skin tones. Temporary redness or mild warmth after treatment are the most common side effects and resolve promptly. When performed by an experienced dermatologist with appropriate energy settings, the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes is very low.
Treatment cost depends on the size of the area treated, the number of sessions in the recommended course, and the specific pigmentation concern being addressed. A personalised treatment plan and cost estimate will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Rajat Kandhari.
