Treatment Overview
Body Laser Toning is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses low-fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers (1064nm) to stimulate collagen, refine texture, and improve skin tone while tightening mild to moderate skin laxity. Unlike ablative lasers, laser toning delivers gentle energy into the dermis without damaging the skin’s surface, making it a safe treatment for all skin types.
In Korean dermatology clinics, Body Laser Toning is commonly used on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and underarms, helping to tighten skin, reduce crepiness, and improve pigmentation irregularities such as post-pregnancy darkening or stretch mark discoloration. It is often combined with HIFU, RF lifting, or mesotherapy for enhanced tightening and rejuvenation.
