Fotona Green Toning

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.

Service Description

Green toning uses 2 light energy wavelengths: the Q-switched YAG, which treats deep pigmentation, and the Q-switched KTP, which treats more superficial pigment. As with the StarWalker pico tattoo removal, rapid, nanosecond pulses target the dermal and epidermal skin layers. The effect shatters pigments so they can be naturally flushed out of the body’s lymphatic system. The photo-acoustic reaction obliterates pigment into such fine dust that it is cleared from the system faster and more completely than any laser technology of the past.

Green toning is non-ablative. That means it doesn’t require anaesthetic, and it doesn’t damage the surface layers of skin to stimulate sloughing and peeling. That’s why it is far less uncomfortable than ablative lasers like CO2, and it doesn’t require downtime.

Most people schedule green toning treatment to erase their unwanted pigmentation. They can focus on stubborn skin concerns like melasma, freckles, sunspots, and scars.

Melasma and rosacea have a vascular component, so the green toning multi-wavelength pico modality targets capillaries along with pigment for comprehensive transformation.

Green toning offers clearer, even-toned skin and multiple additional benefits like supple, firmer tone, minimized pores, and a natural glow with less makeup!

Is There Downtime After Green Toning Treatment?

Green toning comes with few associated complications or risks. We will inform you about pre- and post-treatment care instructions for your safety and to ensure optimal results.

  • Potential risks related to laser treatments include:
  • Hyperpigmentation – Pigmentation may temporarily darken, or darkened areas may persist. Lightening products can help fade unwanted darkening.
  • Hypopigmentation – In rare cases, the skin may lose pigment unexpectedly after laser treatment.
  • Prolonged redness or inflammation – Usually redness fades within 24 hours, but it can last longer.
  • Bacterial or viral infection – Laser treatments may trigger a herpes simplex outbreak. You must let your practitioner know if you’re susceptible to cold sores and other viral conditions.

To maintain a flawless complexion, follow the gentle post-treatment care instructions provided and avoid UV exposure throughout your treatment period. We usually advise patients to undergo 3 to 4 sessions, 4 weeks apart.

Post care

  • Day of treatment: We kindly ask you to leave the Gel Application that the therapist has put in the clinic room for the next 24 hours. (If you need to pray, a splash of water is fine)
  • Next Day: Cleanse with your daily product that you normally use.
  • Am + Pm – apply your serums and moisturiser and eye cream
  • Apply SPF
  • (optional) Apply makeup
