FAQ

Questions before booking

How does Shock treatment work?

Shock uses a dedicated patch placed on the treatment area, followed by gel and optics, to deliver 1064nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser energy. The patch and optics deliver energy to the selected area to induce localized physical stimulation. The actual treatment extent and settings vary with the condition of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and the treatment goals.

Which areas of the face and body can be treated with Shock?

Treatment may be considered for areas of the face where localized tissue condition is a concern, such as the cheeks, lower face, jawline, and under the chin, as well as selected body areas such as the arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Areas with uneven skin texture, such as cellulite, or concerns about scars or fibrosis are also assessed before deciding whether treatment is suitable. Because the causes and tissue characteristics differ by area, it is important to determine the treatment extent after a clinical assessment.

How does Shock differ from a conventional Q-switched Nd:YAG laser treatment?

A conventional Q-switched Nd:YAG laser delivers energy directly to a target in the skin by adjusting the wavelength and irradiation settings. Shock differs by adding a patch, gel, and optics on the skin to deliver laser energy. Even when the same laser is used, its treatment goals, energy delivery method, and treatment areas should therefore not be regarded as the same as those of conventional laser toning or pigmentation treatments.

How many Shock sessions will I need?

There is no fixed number of sessions that applies to every patient. The number and spacing of sessions may vary depending on the treatment area, such as the face, body, or scars, the tissue condition, and your care goals. It is appropriate to assess the response of the skin and tissue after the first session before deciding whether further treatment is needed.

Can redness or swelling occur after Shock treatment?

Laser treatments may cause temporary redness, a sensation of heat, stinging, or swelling, depending on the individual and the irradiation settings. Adverse reactions such as blisters or pigmentation changes have also been reported rarely with Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers, so it is important to avoid excessive rubbing or irritation of the treated area and follow the aftercare instructions provided. Consult your clinician if discomfort is severe or persists.

Can Shock be combined with other laser or lifting treatments?

Combining Shock with other laser, radiofrequency, HIFU, or injection treatments may be considered when needed, but performing several treatments on the same area in succession is not always appropriate. It is best to review the type and timing of recent procedures, the treatment areas, and the skin response before deciding whether to treat on the same day or leave an interval.
