All about Laser Toning, benefits, who is the best candidate and precautions

What is Laser Toning and How Does It Work?

In simple terms, laser toning is a process where specific layers of the skin are penetrated with laser energy and disintegrate the pigments formed due to acne, sun damage, acne Scars, ageing, and other skin conditions.

laser toning depends upon non-ablative lasers, which only heat the tissues in targeted areas but don’t destroy them. According to Our Best Dermatologists Dr. Sai Sandeepthi. laser toning creates a ‘controlled thermal injury’ that prompts the body’s natural mechanisms to increase collagen and elastin production. Upon completing the procedure, discolouration vanishes as excess pigmentation and the body’s immune system mops up the particulate matter.

How Laser Toning Works

Laser toning is performed using non-ablative lasers, which work by heating up the targeted tissue without actually destroying it. This creates what dermatologists call a ‘controlled thermal injury,’ triggering a natural response in the body to produce more collagen and elastin. After the procedure is complete, the body’s immune system processes excess pigmentation and leftover particles to clear away discoloration.

There is typically no pretreatment required for laser toning, although some specialists will instruct their patients to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks beforehand.

Some skincare specialists apply a topical analgesic or local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure, but most patients don’t experience any significant pain. However, it is common for the skin to feel warm to the touch immediately after the treatment session is complete.

Benefits of Laser Toning

Laser Toning helps to address the following skin concerns.

Melasma

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.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

A burn or an injury is followed by 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.

Dark Spots

Prolonged sun exposure often results in dark spots. Laser Toning selectively targets the pigmentation and results in an improved skin tone.
