Laser toning is an effective and safe method to reduce unwanted pigmentation on the skin. It targets the melanin present in the superficial layers of skin. It helps to correct:
- Uneven skin tone
- Pigmentation spots
- Skin tanning
- Provides instant brightness/radiance to the skin
- Helps in skin rejuvenation
An additional advantage is that it promotes subdermal collagen induction – helps to improve the skin tone or reduce the skin laxity.
Mechanism
It involves the use of Q switched NDYAG laser in the toning mode- ( large spot size with low energy ) which damages the melanosome ( the pigment granules ) in colour-producing cells of the skin i. e melanocytes. It causes a reduction in melanin (the skin pigment) thereby producing a skin lightening & brightening effect.
It also utilizes the genesis mode (quasi-long pulse mode) to heat the skin & stimulate the collagen fibres to be laid down in the skin, which in turn, leads to improvement in fine lines and skin texture.
Procedure
The whole procedure takes 30-45 min.
It is safe effective and painless treatment with no downtime or side effects.
The patient need not restrict his/her activities after the procedures.
Safe to use in all skin types & in both males and females.
4-6 sessions (3-4 wks. apart) of laser toning are recommended for face & other body parts.
What to expect after the procedure?
- Immediate brightening & radiance
- Improvement in skin tone
- Improvement is open pores, skin texture and skin laxity with multiple sittings
- Laser toning is an effective painless & safe treatment for skin rejuvenation and as an anti-ageing process if done with the right equipment under comment.
