Skin toning refers to the use of Q-Switched lasers for non-ablative skin rejuvenation. The Lumenis Q-Switched ND: YAG was developed to enable skin toning, by treatment of pigmented lesions, using a large and non-disposable tip of 6mm. Using a top-hat beam profile ensures control of homogeneous energy delivery and maximum safety without hot-spots nor any risk of side effects or complication for the patient.
Everything you need to feel healthy and beautiful
Laser toning is a cosmetic procedure to gently rejuvenate the skin by targeting the pigment cells lying beneath the skin layer along with increasing the collagen and elastin production to fight the signs of ageing. This procedure is performed by non-ablative laser thus it does no damage to the surface of the skin.
Anybody who has the following skin problems can opt for this treatment.
Although the patient would be able to notice the results after the first session, laser toning is a gradual process. Generally, three to four sessions once every three to four weeks would deliver optimal results to the patient. Many patients who want to maintain the results also visit the clinic after every two-three months.
The laser toning treatment does not take much time. However, the duration of the treatment depends upon the area to be treated. If a person wants treatment over specific areas, then the treatment generally takes about 30-45 minutes while a full face laser toning may take up to 2 hours.
Any individual who wants to opt for laser toning must follow the following guidelines.
Limit sun exposure: Step out in the sun only after applying sunscreen of at least SPF 30 as the UV rays might cause irritation and redness over the treated area.
Avoid scrubbing: The skin takes some time to heal so one should not rub, scratch or pick the treated area. Use mild cleansers and refrain from harsh exfoliators for a few days after the treatment.
Apply Icepacks: A person might feel a tingling sensation or slight redness after the treatment thus, icepacks will help to soothe the skin.
Mild swelling or bruising is common but it tends to go away on its own after some time. However, one can resume their day-to-day activities after getting the treatment. Even, one can apply makeup after the treatment as it does not damage the skin.
Laser Toning results in evenly textured, soft and plump skin with reduced appearance of fine lines and freckles, brown spots, eye bags, enlarged pores and redness. The treatments also provide a rejuvenated, renewed and radiant complexion after the treatment.
Safe and effective laser toning is not free from complications. Reported complications from laser toning include pain during the procedure, rebound of melasma, hyperpigmentation, guttate leukoderma, physical urticaria, acneiform eruption, minute petechiae, whitening of fine facial hair, and herpes simplex reactivation.
The price of laser toning treatment in India usually ranges from Rs.1000 - Rs.40000/-. This price range depends on the skin condition, the extent of the area to be treated, and the number of sessions.
1) Avoid sun exposure: The area being treated shouldn’t be over exposed to the sun. The UV rays make the area more red and cause irritation, so step out in sun after applying sunscreen of atleast SPF 30.
2) No scrubbing or scratching: The area after receiving skin laser requires time to heal so, be delicate. Do not rub, scratch or pick. Incase of facial skin laser, do not use abrasive skin cleansers and scrub or shave the area. Always gently pat the skin dry.
3) Aloe wonder: Aloe vera gel helps in healing the area by hydrating the skin. It’s components accelerate the process. Apply aloe gel liberally to the treated area several times a day to keep the area moist.
4) Prior treatment: Avoid chemical peels and exfoliating skin treatments, seven to ten days prior to laser treatment. These can negatively affect your skin’s reaction to laser treatments. For laser hair removal, it is important not to remove hair by epilation, waxing, plucking or threading four weeks before treatment.
