Get Glowing Skin With Laser Toning Treatment

Many people have imperfect and lifeless skin as it appears to be dry, dull, tired, unevenly toned, and rough-textured. This can be due to various factors like natural aging, sun damage, poor nutrition, excessive use of make-up, skin fatigue, everyday pollutants, stress, inadequate sleep or exercise, smoking, or alcohol intake, hormonal changes, free radical damage, and sometimes genetics. These causative factors can also contribute to a change in skin's natural shade. When there is reduced collagen and elastin production, the skin may have visible open pores, fine lines, and wrinkles and inadequate skin care can make the skin appear dehydrated. Fortunately, with laser toning, it’s possible to restore natural skin lustre and a healthy skin appearance.

How does laser toning work in restoring skin’s natural skin glow?

Q switched ND-YAG laser used during laser toning delivers low fluence laser beam to reverse skin imperfections. It is targeted onto the pigmented or aged skin for a few microseconds. Laser toning involves the use of two types of laser energy frequencies:

• 534 nm to lighten the skin tone in hyperpigmented skin by causing selective photothermolysis of excess melanocytes. The tiny particles of damaged or pigmented skin cells are absorbed into the bloodstream and later removed naturally by the body.
• 1064 nm which penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, thereby providing firm, smooth, and youthful skin.

The laser toning procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to provide visible results in the very first laser session. However, to deliver the best-desired results several laser sessions must be conducted. 

Procedure:   

In Q-Switched laser treatment, the skin is first cleansed properly to get rid of excess dust and oils from the skin. A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin. After the area to be treated gets numbed, a laser beam of 1064nm wavelength is targeted to the affected skin area in short pulses using an ND-YAG laser medium (i.e. quasi-long or micro pulsed mode).  

Benefits of laser toning:

The skin appears plumper, brighter, evenly-toned, and rejuvenated because of a boost in sub-dermal production of collagen and elastin (the skin structural fibers). 

• It is a safe and effective procedure without side effects and downtime. 
• The client can go back home immediately after the procedure and resume their daily routine activities.
• It can be performed for all skin types.
• It is a simple procedure that can instantly lighten the skin complexion and provide long-lasting results.
• It is a less time-consuming, virtually pain-free procedure.
• It involves the use of a non-ablative type of laser (specifically Q-switched ND: YAG laser) to treat skin issues without harming the surrounding tissues. 
• It involves the use of a numbing cream and cooling device over the treatment area that makes the procedure comfortable throughout for the patient.

Post-treatment instructions:

• Avoid direct sun exposure. The patient must sun protect their skin by applying broad-spectrum sunscreens with high SPF as directed by the dermatologist.
• Do not scratch or rub the treated skin.
