Is laser toning safe for every skin type?
Yes, even dark-skinned and sensitive-skinned individuals can safely undergo laser toning from a skilled, experienced dermatologist, as it’s done with a gentle, non-ablative laser. Still, temporary, mild side effects like dryness, redness, swelling, and sensitivity, as well as changes in coloration, do occur. Speak to an expert to learn about your safety during laser toning.
How often should I go for laser toning?
Start with laser toning sessions every 2-4 weeks, then adjust the frequency as per the targeted skin type and condition, and the skin’s response to the treatment. Usually, an expert recommends 4 to 8 sessions in total for optimal skin improvement, with maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months.
Do laser toning sessions hurt?
Session-related discomfort is minimal and absent for some. Often, patients report a slight warm, tingling sensation. With the use of an advanced laser equipped with a built-in cooling system or the application of a soothing gel, the treatment experience is made more comfortable.
How soon do laser toning effects become noticeable?
The treated skin glows slightly just after the session, but the desired effects of laser toning take several weeks to show.
How long do laser toning results last?
Full effects last for several months to a few years. The exact longevity of laser toning results depends on the laser type, the skin condition/skin type, compliance with aftercare, aging, and lifestyle.
