Laser toning is a procedure that gradually breaks down melanin pigments by gently irradiating low-power lasers multiple times. It improves melasma, blemishes, and dullness to brighten the overall skin tone, and is suitable for consistent treatment as there is almost no downtime.
It lightens pigmentation through a gentle approach over multiple sessions rather than a strong one. It is typically performed several times at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks, and sun protection is important.
Excessive or inappropriate toning can actually cause pigmentation reactions (hypopigmentation or vitiligo), so it is important to adjust the output according to your skin condition.
Since this method lightens the pigment in multiple steps at low power, it usually requires several repetitions.
While it is used to improve melasma, excessive toning can actually cause a pigment reaction, so it is important to adjust the output according to your condition.

You can usually return to your daily routine immediately, and there is virtually no recovery period. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress right after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one.
