Laser Toning
Laser toning refers to the use of Q-switched lasers (long pulsed laser) that deliver lower energy wavelengths of light to targeted skin areas, inducing sublethal injury to the melanosomes (sites for synthesis, storage, and transport of melanin). This causes the rupture and fragmentation of melanin granules present in the cytoplasm, resulting in melanin reduction in the superficial layers of the skin and improving various skin pigmentation disorders. At Dr Tanreet’s skin clinic in Amritsar, we use german biaxis pico laser premium technology that removes pigmented lesions, lightens the skin tone, and improves skin texture. This sub-threshold injury to the surrounding dermis also stimulates collagen formation (promotes collagen remodeling), leading to tighter skin and minimized large open pores.
Laser toning is an effective method to treat melasma and other skin pigmentation issues. It also addresses other cosmetic concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage.

How Laser Toning Procedure is Performed
Laser toning targets the outer layer of the skin and heats the lower layer of the dermis to promote collagen production. The new collagen fibers help in the production of new skin, providing smoother and blemish-free skin.
Before performing laser toning, the candidate must protect their skin from the sun (must apply sunscreen), stop smoking, and stop the intake of any blood-thinning medications. This helps increase skin tolerance towards this dermatological treatment and decreases the risk of side effects during the treatment.
Procedure Steps:
- A topical anesthetic is applied to reduce pain and discomfort during the procedure.
- The skin is cleansed to remove excess oil, bacteria, and dirt.
- Eyes are protected with goggles, and the laser is moved slowly all over the face or selectively in certain areas.
- A soothing hydrating product, containing vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, is applied. Sunscreen is also applied.
The patient may experience slight redness in the treated area for a few hours after the treatment, and certain vitamins and serums are applied to ease discomfort. It is a very comfortable procedure that enhances facial beauty by improving inflammatory pigmentation.
