AGNES and Q-switch laser. The treatment for acne / pimples

It has been only a week since the previous photos were taken. These were taken on the 11th of June 2015. Currently a single session of AGNES has been completed and I have began her Q-switch treatment.

She has reported less commedones, although clearly there is still a lot of hyperpigmentation

The recovery post AGNES is actually quite fast. Initially you may notice a few rather raised spots, but that is expected even after a facial.

These spots usually calm down within about 2-3 days. After that the Q-switch laser would then be required to remove the pink / brown pigmentation.

Sometimes there is evidence of some pustules post agnes, but these do subside pretty quickly as well, which is also the reason why you would be required to return on the second day to extract these pustules.

 

A lot of the pustular nodular acne have calmed down, leaving behind post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which are essentially acne scars or acne marks.

The Q-switch laser ND YAG is a laser used for pigmentation. It is used to remove haemoglobin and melanin, which are deposited in the skin.

Studies performed using the Q-switch have showed significant reduction in inflamed, non-inflamed lesions as well as sebum levels.
