What is illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser?
The illumia Toning Laser and Pigmentation Laser are non-surgical treatments from Quanta System (Italy), designed to rejuvenate and refresh the skin by addressing pigmented skin concerns, at varying intensity. A 2019 study in Singapore found that 68.52% of women over 44 identified pigmentation and dark spots as their top skin concern.*

Laser technologies have been proven to target pigmentation concerns such as sunspots, melasma and post-inflmmatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Sunspots
Melasma
Post-Inflmmatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Our illumia Toning Laser and Pigmentation Laser treatment utilises ultra-short pulse durations measured in picoseconds, distinguishing it from traditional Q-switched nanosecond lasers. The illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser’s unique ability to deliver energy in picoseconds offers various advantages, including enhanced safety and efficiency.
Which is For Me: illumia Toning Laser and Pigmentation Laser
Our illumia Toning Laser and illumia Pigmentation Laser target the same pigmentation concerns such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The key difference between the two laser treatments lies in the intensity and the use of numbing cream:

How Does the illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser Work?
The illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser harnesses the power of laser technology to target specific skin concerns, primarily focusing on pigmentation issues. Its key mechanisms of action include photothermal and photoacoustic processes. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how the illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser works:
Photothermal Effect
The laser emits intense, concentrated energy into the skin, creating a controlled increase in temperature. This gentle warming encourages collagen production and skin cell turnover, improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles.
Photoacoustic Effect
The ultra-short picosecond pulses generated by the lasers create shockwaves beneath the skin’s surface. These shockwaves break down pigmented lesions, such as sunspots and age spots, into smaller, more manageable particles, facilitating their effective elimination by the body’s natural processes.
Benefits of the illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser with the Illumia Pigmentation Protocol
Pigmentation Correction For those with sunspots, age spots, or uneven skin tone, the illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser is highly effective. It breaks down pigmented lesions, allowing the skin to gradually regain a more even and youthful appearance.
Improved Skin Texture The illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser can effectively treat a range of skin imperfections, including fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. By stimulating collagen production, it helps enhance skin elasticity and smoothness.
Versatility The illumia Toning/ Pigmentation Laser is versatile and targets various pigmentation concerns.
Safety The picosecond pulses used by the illumia Pigmentation Laser are short, reducing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues. This makes the treatment safer for a wider range of skin types and tones.
Minimal Downtime Unlike some other laser treatments, the illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser offers minimal downtime. Patients can typically return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure, making it a convenient choice for those with busy lifestyles.
FAQs
How does the illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser differ from other laser treatments?
The key difference lies in the ultra-short picosecond pulses used by the illumia Pigmentation Laser, offering improved safety and accuracy compared to lasers with longer pulse durations.
Is the illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser suitable for all skin types?
Yes, one of the advantages of the illumia Pigmentation Laser is its safety and suitability for a wide range of skin types and tones. Your doctor can adjust the settings to ensure the treatment is tailored to your specific skin characteristics.
What can I expect during an illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser treatment?
During the procedure, you may feel a warming sensation as the laser energy is applied to your skin. Most patients find the treatment tolerable, and it typically takes only a short amount of time, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Is there any downtime associated with illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser treatments?
One of the significant benefits of the illumia Pigmentation Laser is the minimal downtime it offers. Many patients can return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, some redness and mild swelling may be experienced, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day.
How many sessions are typically required for optimal results?
The number of sessions required varies depending on your specific pigmentation concerns and goals. Your doctor will discuss a treatment plan with you, but many patients see noticeable improvements after just a few sessions.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with illumia Toning/Pigmentation Laser treatments?
