What is Laser Toning?
Looking for a rejuvenation with minimal downtime? Our laser toning treatment is a gentle procedure, safe for most skin types. Give your skin a quick refresher with the treatment known and loved by celebrities to keep their skin glowing and vibrant before important events and red carpets.
Laser toning helps to improve tone and texture, reduce areas of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars. This gentle laser treatment targets clusters of pigment, overactive oil glands, and stimulates collagen production.
What is Carbon Laser Treatment?
Carbon laser treatment can be used to extract impurities from the skin. Suitable for most skin types, and even younger individuals looking to achieve a refreshed look for their skin.
The treatment involves applying an activated charcoal paste to the skins surface. This detoxifying agent helps to remove dead skin, oil, make up, product residue, environmental toxins, and pollutants from the pores.
If you struggle with acne, oily skin, or textural problems – this treatment is recommended for you!
How These Laser Treatments Work
The laser energy pulse works at an incredible speed, almost at a billionth of a second. Firstly, it gently targets melanin (pigment) in the cells, breaking it down for your body’s natural removal processes. Secondly, it creates heat deep within the dermis, causing the skin to contract and stimulate collagen production.
In a carbon laser treatment, a layer of thick charcoal paste is applied evenly to the skin and allowed to dry for a few minutes. Then our experienced doctor with apply varying laser intensities to gently drive the carbon molecules into the skin. The carbon works its magic by drawing out
impurities, whilst the Nd-YAG laser simultaneously gently removes the carbon particles from the pores. This treatment is recommended for acne, oil congested, smokers, individuals exposed to the weather elements daily, or regular users of heavy make-up and skin products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before your treatment, our doctor will meet with you to conduct an in-depth skin consultation at our Bayside clinic. We will work with you to create a tailored treatment plan and advise of any pre- treatment instructions.
On the day of your carbon laser treatment, before photographs are captured to begin your transformation. The skin is cleansed and prepared for treatment. The following passes will be undertaken within the hour:
- Pass 1: Applying the laser energy to your skin, you will hear a slight snapping sound and feel a slight tingling or warmth.
- Pass 2: We apply a light layer of charcoal paste onto your skin. This paste has a carbon base, so your skin will appear as if you are wearing a mud mask. The specialised laser wave-length will then accelerate the paste into the skins surface.
- Pass 3: The laser energy lightly removes the charcoal paste, heating the dermis, and lightly removing the top layer of dead skin. The laser energy breaks up pigment which is then carried away by your body, and the heat causes the dermis to contract whilst stimulating the production of collagen.
The process of laser toning is the same as carbon laser (see above), with exception to the application of the carbon paste.
