What Is Laser Toning Treatment?
Laser toning treatment is a non-invasive or minimally invasive laser-based procedure designed to target excess pigmentation while aiming to improve overall skin tone. Depending on your diagnosis and skin condition, a dermatologist may select an appropriate laser technology and treatment parameters.
It may be considered for concerns such as uneven pigmentation, selected dark spots and some cases of melasma. However, melasma can be persistent and may return, so realistic expectations and ongoing sun protection are important.
How Does Laser Toning Work?
The selected laser delivers controlled energy to pigment within the skin. The dermatologist determines the wavelength, energy level and treatment approach according to your skin and pigmentation.
The procedure should always begin with a proper skin assessment because pigmentation can have different causes and may require different treatments.
What Skin Concerns Can It Address?
Laser toning may be considered for:
• Uneven skin tone
• Certain forms of facial pigmentation
• Selected dark spots
• Some cases of melasma
• Dull-looking or unevenly pigmented skin
Laser treatment is not suitable for every pigmentation concern. A dermatologist should first identify the cause and depth of pigmentation before recommending a procedure.
