Treatments / Brightening & melasma
Gentle, low-energy laser sessions to brighten dull skin and gradually soften melasma and uneven tone.
How it works
Laser toning passes gentle, even pulses of light across the skin. The energy is drawn to excess melanin and helps break it down, while mild warmth encourages collagen renewal for a smoother, brighter finish.
Because each session is gentle, toning suits regular treatment and fits easily into a busy week. It is often chosen for melasma and post-inflammatory marks, which tend to respond better to a steady, careful course than to strong single treatments.

The technology
Lutronic
Dual-wavelength 1064 / 532 nm laser.
Hollywood Spectra is a 1064 and 532 nm laser platform with very short pulses and high peak power. We use it to break up pigment, refine tone and pores, and for the Hollywood Laser Peel (carbon peel).
Very short pulses limit heat in the surrounding skin, so downtime is usually minimal.
Lutronic
Dual-wavelength 755 / 1064 nm laser.
Clarity II combines 755 nm and 1064 nm lasers in one platform. Having both wavelengths lets the practitioner match the laser to your skin type and the target, from unwanted hair to redness and pigment.
Its IntelliTrak system measures skin temperature in real time and delivers energy evenly as the handpiece glides across the skin.
Nanosecond pulses for pigment.
Q-switched lasers deliver extremely short, high-energy pulses that break pigment into tiny particles, which the body then clears naturally. The same principle is used for pigment, toning and fading unwanted cosmetic tattoo.
Your visit
We assess your pigment and skin type, talk through your goals, and choose the toning laser best suited to you.
Skin is gently cleansed so the light can reach it evenly. Most people do not need numbing for toning.
The laser is passed evenly over the area. You may feel light tingling or warmth, and the skin is cooled with chilled air afterwards.
Most people return to their day straight away. Mild redness settles quickly; daily moisturiser and sun protection are essential.
Pricing
Your practitioner will recommend the right toning laser and spacing for your skin at consultation. A $50 deposit secures your appointment and comes off your treatment on the day.

Questions
It can help soften melasma over a course of gentle sessions. Melasma is influenced by sun, hormones and genetics, so it is managed rather than cured, and strict daily sun protection is part of the plan.
It depends on your skin and the depth of pigment. A course spaced two to four weeks apart is usually recommended, followed by maintenance.
Usually very little. Some redness can appear and fades quickly. Occasionally small whiteheads or itchiness appear and settle on their own within a few days.
Results vary. Pigment can return with sun exposure, so good skincare, daily sunscreen and occasional maintenance sessions help keep skin bright.
Individual results vary. Suitability is confirmed at consultation; temporary redness, swelling or tenderness may occur.
