Laser toning treatments can effectively treat stubborn pigmentation issues by giving low energy from the Q Switched laser which leads to decrease in the melanin in the superficial layers of the skin thereby correcting pigment irregularities. Moreover, the laser also helps in stimulating the collagen and elasticity whilst rejuvenating the skin texture with little to no downtime whether they are at the top of the surface or deep in the dermal layers.
Q-Switched ND-YAG laser is one of the best methods to treat pigment-related skin problems. Laser toning uses the energy of a low fluence laser beam that is targeted for a few microseconds onto 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 a Q-switched medium that further breaks down melanin in the skin. This triggers collagen production in the skin to improve skin tone and texture.
Laser Toning helps to address the following skin concerns:
This pigmentation is commonly caused by hormonal imbalance. It is also known as a "Mask of Pregnancy" as it mostly affects women during or after childbirth. This can be characterized as grey-brown patches on the face. Laser Toning helps to remove these stubborn marks quickly and effectively.
A burn or an injury is followed by an epidermal pigmentation condition referred to as PIH. These can be reduced with Laser Toning. For best results, we can pair the treatment with topical lightening creams.
Prolonged sun exposure often results in dark spots. Laser Toning selectively targets the pigmentation and results in an improved skin tone.
Since freckles are genetic, laser toning has shown excellent results in diminishing their appearance.
Laser Toning is highly beneficial for people who have dark circles and are not able to effectively manage them with other treatments.
This treatment is an ideal solution for patients with cosmetic concerns like pigment irregularities, age spots, uneven skin tone or blotchy skin, open pores, tanned skin, etc. It helps to improve their appearance on the skin and provides instant rejuvenation or “brightness” to the face, neck, and hands. Laser toning promotes sub-dermal collagen production that helps to improve skin texture, color, and tone.
Our dermatologist has made all the required clinical assessments of the affected skin, you’ll be prescribed a few creams to prepare for the procedure. After about 10-15 days when the skin is all ready, you will be prepared for your session. The area is cleaned, and numbing cream is applied for 20-30 mins. Although it is not a painful procedure at Eudermiz clinic, we follow this protocol so that the patient is comfortable as some might feel a heat sensation. The laser machine is adjusted to the required setting & area is treated. This is done within 10-15 mins. If there is any redness, ointments to reduce the same is applied along with sunscreen. That’s it! It is indeed a lunchtime procedure.
After the procedure, there may be some swelling and redness in the treated area. There is also a potential for some very mild bleeding at the treatment site that your provider will address should it occur. Some scabbing or crusting and bruising at the treatment site can also occur but is usually temporary and resolves within a few days to weeks of the treatment. Infections and scars are very rare and close follow-up will ensure patients have any further treatments if needed. Patients should keep Aquaphor or Vaseline on the treated areas and limit sun exposure for at least two weeks after the procedure. If there is any residual pain, patients are encouraged to take Extra Strength Tylenol as directed and apply ice to the treated area as needed to minimize swelling. Patients can expect to have the after-care discussed with them before leaving the office.
Depending on the treatment, patients may need one or several sessions to achieve optimal results. For example, treatment of hyperpigmentation, such as in dark spots or birthmarks, may need fewer sessions than tattoo removal. The number of treatments is variable and will depend on the specific issues that are being addressed, taking into consideration size, color, and personal factors specific to each individual. During your cosmetic consultation, your provider will estimate the number of treatment sessions you may need.
