Laser Dual Toning

IPL uses broad-spectrum light, while laser toning uses a selected laser wavelength and settings. Either may be considered for certain pigmentation concerns, but suitability depends on the diagnosis, skin type and treatment history. Neither is appropriate for every type of pigmentation; a clinician should assess your skin before recommending treatment.

The number of sessions and intervals are individualized after a skin assessment. Your clinician will review your response before recommending further treatment. Pigmentation may recur, and sun protection and an appropriate skincare plan remain important.

Recovery depends on the laser settings and your skin. Temporary redness, swelling, sensitivity, dryness or flaking may occur; some people experience little visible peeling. Changes in pigmentation, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, are possible. Follow your clinician’s aftercare instructions and contact the clinic if symptoms persist or worsen.
