How to Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Best Treatments for It - Part 1
GREEN TONING
Looking for a way to improve your skin tone and texture? A green toning laser may be just what you need!
At Advanced Laser Clinic we’re excited to share how this laser technology advancement is targeting multiple skin texture and pigmentation issues using an ultra-fast, non-ablative medical grade StarWalker MaQX laser. Dramatic, visible skin lightening and tone improvements are achieved without the discomfort or downtime.
The award winning StarWalker MaQX laser uses a powerful 2-step system to reduce unwanted facial pigment, under-eye circles, freckles, and uneven skin tone.
Green toning is safe for Asian skin that is prone to hyperpigmentation. It also reduces pore size, improves skin colour, improves the appearance of sun damage, and helps smooth skin texture. In fact, the StarWalker MaQX is so multifaceted, that we can treat melasma, hyperpigmentation, and redness at both the dermal and epidermal levels.
How Does the Green Toning Laser Work?
The green toning laser is a new and innovative way to treat pigmentation and enhance the overall appearance of your skin. This dual-wavelength laser uses quick, nanosecond pulses to target both the dermal and epidermal skin layers, providing a more thorough and effective treatment than other laser technologies.
The green toning laser shatters pigments so that the body’s lymphatic system can naturally flush them out, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion. To put it more simply, green toning is a type of laser treatment that doesn't require anesthesia or damage the surface layers of skin. It's used to treat pigmentation issues like melasma, freckles, sunspots, and scars.
The MaQX modality uses multiple wavelengths to target both pigment and capillaries for comprehensive transformation. Green toning can provide clearer, even-toned skin with additional benefits like firmer tone, minimized pores, and a natural glow.
What Areas Can Green Toning Improve?
Green toning lightens and evens pigmentation anywhere on the body. Our clients typically brighten their face, décolletage, and hands, which experience the most sun exposure and environmental stress. Green toning is also used to improve post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) due to skin injuries such as burns, cuts, or surgical scars.
Even Skin Tone Maintenance
Once you’ve reached the desired clear complexion with green toning, we recommend that you maintain a fresh, clean look with 2 to 3 maintenance treatments per year. There are also easy ways that you can prevent sunspots and melasma from returning when you practice smart skincare at home.
-
Investigate any health or medical cause for reoccurring melasma, since it is sometimes triggered by hormone imbalances or medication such as oral contraception.
-
Daily sun protection is critical once you’ve invested time and effort into your blemish-free skin. Concerning melasma, UV radiation is one of the key factors that exacerbate this issue. This is a great time to commit to covering up and wearing sunblock all year long.
