How does Laser Toning work?

Laser Toning works by heating the targeted pigment in the skin, breaking it down into smaller particles which are then naturally eliminated by the body's immune system. Laser toning is known for its effectiveness in achieving a more even skin tone and reducing the appearance of pigmented lesions, while being gentle and safe for most skin types. In addition, the 1064 nm wavelength is used to target blood vessels and redness associated with conditions like rosacea.

 

What are the benefits of Laser Toning?

Laser toning offers several benefits for individuals seeking to improve the appearance and health of their skin:

1. Even Skin Tone: Laser toning helps to reduce the appearance of pigmented lesions such as age spots, sun spots, freckles, and melasma, resulting in a more even skin tone.

2. Reduced Hyperpigmentation: It effectively targets and lightens areas of hyperpigmentation caused by factors like sun damage, hormonal changes, or skin

3. Hemoglobin Absorption: The 1064 nm wavelength is highly absorbed by hemoglobin, the pigment found in red blood cells. When the laser light is directed onto the skin, it is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, heating them up.

4. Vessel Coagulation: The heat generated by the 1064 nm wavelength causes the blood vessels to coagulate or collapse. This process is known as photocoagulation. By closing off the blood vessels,reducing the visibility of redness and vascular lesions associated with rosacea.

5. Inflammatory Response: Additionally, laser treatments can help modulate the inflammatory response associated with rosacea. By targeting blood vessels and reducing inflammation, laser therapy can lead to a visible reduction in redness and

6. Minimal Downtime: Unlike more invasive procedures, laser toning typically requires little to no downtime, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities shortly after treatment.

7. Stimulates Collagen Production: The heat generated by the laser can stimulate collagen production in the skin, leading to improved skin texture, firmness, and overall rejuvenation.

8. Customizable Treatment: Laser toning can be customized to target specific areas of concern and adjusted to suit different skin types and tones.

9. Safe and Effective: When performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner, laser toning is considered a safe and effective treatment for various skin concerns.

10. Long-Lasting Results: With proper skincare maintenance and sun protection, the results of laser toning treatments can be long-lasting, helping individuals maintain a more youthful and radiant complexion over time.

 

Overall, laser toning offers a non-invasive solution for achieving smoother, more even-toned skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.

 

How long does Laser Toning treatment last?

On average, a single session of Laser Toning typically lasts between 45- 60 mins.

​

How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions of laser toning needed can vary depending on several factors, including the specific skin concerns being addressed, the severity of those concerns, and individual skin characteristics.

In many cases, a series of multiple treatment sessions spaced 2--4 weeks apart is recommended to achieve the best results. Typically, individuals may undergo anywhere from 3 to 6 sessions, with some individuals requiring more sessions for more stubborn or extensive pigmentation issues.

 

Does Laser Toning hurt?

Laser toning is generally considered to be a relatively comfortable procedure, with most individuals experiencing minimal discomfort or pain (2-3 out of 10). The sensation during treatment is often described as a mild tingling or snapping feeling, similar to the snapping of a rubber band against the skin.

Clarity II incorporates temperature sensing and advanced skin cooling with ICD technology to help minimize any discomfort during the procedure. This cooling system helps to reduce heat sensation, making the treatment more tolerable.

  

What is the difference between Laser Toning & IPL?

Laser toning uses specific wavelengths (1064 nm & 755 nm) of laser light to target melanin in the skin, making it more precise for treating deep and superficial pigmented lesions like sun spots, age spots, melasma and reduction of vascular lesions.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses a broad spectrum of light to target various skin concerns but may be less precise and less effective for deeper pigmentation issues.
