Laser Toning
Low-fluence laser treatments target pigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin tone with minimal downtime. Korean clinics have perfected this technique for Asian and diverse skin types.
Laser Toning (often called 'Laser Genesis' or 'Hollywood Laser' in Korea) is a gentle yet effective approach to treating pigmentation concerns. Unlike aggressive laser treatments that require significant downtime, laser toning uses low-energy settings delivered in multiple passes to gradually break up melanin and stimulate collagen.
Korean dermatologists pioneered this approach specifically because aggressive lasers often cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in Asian skin. The same careful protocols benefit all skin types, especially those with melasma or stubborn pigmentation that hasn't responded to other treatments.
The treatment is often performed with Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers, which target melanin without damaging surrounding tissue. Sessions are quick and comfortable—many clients describe it as a warm, tingling sensation. Results are cumulative, with most seeing significant improvement after 5-10 sessions.

Frequently Asked
Will my melasma come back?
Melasma is a chronic condition often triggered by hormones and sun. Laser toning can significantly improve it, but maintenance sessions and strict sun protection are key to lasting results.
Is this safe for dark skin?
Yes. Korean laser toning protocols were developed with pigmentation safety in mind. Our partner clinics regularly treat Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI.
Can I go in the sun after?
Sun protection is critical during your treatment course. We recommend SPF 50+ daily and avoiding direct sun exposure.
