How Does It Work?

Laser toning is a non-ablative laser therapy wherein a Q-switched laser is used. The Q-switched laser device in a low-energy setting is used to focus light on the target area of pigmented skin for a few microseconds to blast extra melanin pigment into particles that are eventually absorbed into the bloodstream, and the body gets rid of it.

A laser beam of high intensity in a Q-switched medium is used to provide anti-ageing benefits. The controlled thermal injury on the target skin by the 1064nm of laser light stimulates collagen remodelling, which helps elevate the skin hydration.  The heat from the laser and restoration of the skin’s collagen and elastin help shrink large pores, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, lighten dark spots, and refine the overall skin texture and tone.  

If one is looking for Q-switched laser treatment in Bangalore, one can gain its benefits at Skin Science. The laser experts at the dermatology clinic provide this treatment, and the frequency of the laser is adjusted based on one’s unique needs.

  • Minimally invasive, non-ablative laser therapy which does not heat/ damage the superficial surrounding healthy skin of the target area
  • Painless and safe treatment
  • Instant and easy procedure; the session lasts for about 20-30 minutes
  • Boosts fresh collagen and elastin production which keeps early signs of aging at bay
  • Helps slowly get rid of flaws seated deep in the skin
  • Provides non-surgical skin lift or contouring
  • Has a quick healing period and no downtime
  • Improves skin health by increasing blood circulation

What Happens During A Laser Toning Session?

Laser toning treatment starts with first cleaning the target skin and ensuring it is free of dust and excess oil. A laser beam of 1064 nm wavelength with a short emission is focused on the target area of the skin using the Q-switched Nd: YAG medium. The laser device at quasi-long pulsed or micro pulsed mode is used to heat the skin dermis and restore the collagen and elastin levels in the skin.

After the entire target area has been delivered with laser light in multiple passes, a soothing or hydrating skincare product containing Vitamin C and/or hyaluronic acid is applied.

Before laser toning

If considering laser toning treatment in Bangalore, the good news is that there is no need for special skin preparation to be treated.

After laser toning

The candidate must follow these aftercare instructions: 

  • Sun-protect the treated skin when stepping outside in daytime hours by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen of high SPF and wearing sun-protective clothing.
  • Do not use harsh soaps or scrubs or even scratch or rub the treated areas. Avoid applying products containing retinoic acid and glycolic acid or any other chemical peel.    
  • Gently cleanse the treated skin twice daily.

Results of Laser Toning

The results of laser toning are generally visible after the treatment and are also long-lasting. Once the redness subsides, one can see the improvement in their skin. Also, the longevity of the results depends upon the cause of the skin problem. The results of laser toning can last for a lifetime if the individual takes proper care after the treatment and is consistent with a proper skincare regime.

Laser Toning Sessions

The number of laser toning sessions that are required for a candidate to achieve optimal results varies from one candidate to another. Typically, 4-6 sessions would be needed. However, you can expect to see desired skin improvements after the second or third treatment sessions scheduled about 2-4 weeks apart. To remove melasma, 5-10 sessions in intervals of two weeks is usually recommended.
