About This Treatment
Laser toning is a non-invasive laser-based treatment that uses controlled light energy to target excess pigmentation in the skin. It may be considered for concerns such as melasma, sun-induced pigmentation, freckles, dark spots, and uneven skin tone.
The dermatologist evaluates the patient's skin type, pigmentation pattern, medical history, and previous treatments before selecting the appropriate laser settings. Treatment intensity and the number of sessions are customized according to the individual.
Laser toning may be used as part of a broader pigmentation-management plan that can include sun protection, topical medications, chemical peels, or other dermatological procedures when appropriate.
