Laser Toning
Deep-heating laser that stimulates collagen for overall rejuvenation, without destroying skin layers.
Overview
Laser toning is a safe and effective treatment that penetrates deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, resulting in overall skin rejuvenation. It heats specific skin layers rather than directly destroying them.
What it helps with
- Pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Skin texture
- Scar and keloid colour
How it works
Laser energy is absorbed at chosen depths, gently heating the dermis to trigger collagen remodelling and disperse excess pigment.
