What is Laser Toning?

Laser toning is a safe, effective, and advanced cosmetic treatment that helps to treat various skin conditions. This procedure is very popular for treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, chickenpox scars, acne scars, dark spots, sunspots, fine lines, and wrinkles and provides an improved skin color/tone and texture. This treatment offers promising results and makes the skin look brighter, plumper, rejuvenated, and even-toned, as it promotes sub-dermal production of elastin and collagen protein. This treatment works by controlling and managing the pigmentation present in the skin (that causes dark spots) and works by removing the excess melanin pigment naturally. The application of laser toning treatment depends upon the appearance of pigmented spots and lesions in the skin. This procedure may take several sessions to deliver the best results. It provides instant results without any side effects.

Mechanism of action of Q switched lasers

Q-Switched ND-YAG laser is one of the best methods to treat pigment related skin problems. Laser toning uses the energy of low fluence laser beam that is targeted for a few microseconds on to the skin to treat pigmentation and other skin aging problems. This procedure uses a beam of a laser of a specific wavelength that can treat pigmentation present deep inside the skin. The lasers correct pigmentation related issues by producing a laser beam of high intensity in Q-switched medium that further breaks down melanin in the skin. This triggers collagen production in the skin to improve skin tone and texture.

There are two types of laser energy frequencies that are used for Q-switched laser toning:

• 1064nm penetrates deep inside the skin (boost collagen production and provide anti-aging benefits) and 
• 534nm for hyperpigmentation (lighten the skin tone)

The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. One can see visible results from the very first session.
