Alex Toning
If you’re want to improve the tone of your skin, including the reduction of superficial pigmentation, look no further than Alex Toning. This gentle and safe treatment will effectively reduce and remove the appearance of freckles, pigmentation and age spots. Alex toning is a two-step process, with the first step treating the whole face where you’ll experience a gentle warming sensation of the skin as the laser is directed over the full face. The second step focuses on individually targeting the more visible pigmentation on the skin where the laser targets only the pigmented lesion in the skin which absorbs the light without damaging the surrounding skin. The pigment heats up, shatters and is drawn to the surface without harming the surround tissue. Once it is drawn to the surface, the lesions will become darker, may form crusting however ultimately will fade and flake off the treated area. It’s important to note, any Pigmentation Removal Treatment that uses medical grade lasers can expect a mild discolouration of pigment before it heals, this can last for anything from just a few days to two weeks. During the treatment, you will experience a gentle warming sensation of the skin as the laser is directed over the treatment area. Most clients describe the treatment as thoroughly enjoyable! The end result, your skin will have an even tone and complexion without the visible pigmentation and age spots. At Skindevour we use the latest and most advanced technology, Lutronic Clarity II (link to our technology on website) to perform this very effective toning and superficial pigmentation removal treatment. The Clarity II offers a non-ablative treatment that stimulates the skins natural repair response to improve the texture, tone and tightening of the skin.
