Treatment Overview
Gold Toning Laser is a specialized Q-switched Nd:YAG laser treatment widely used in Korean dermatology clinics for redness, pigmentation, and tone irregularities. Unlike standard toning lasers, Gold Toning uses a 595 nm wavelength that specifically targets hemoglobin and vascular pigmentation, making it especially effective for patients with redness, rosacea, post-acne marks, and uneven tone.
For uneven skin tone, Gold Toning Laser helps by reducing redness, calming inflammation, fading pigmentation, and refining texture, leaving the skin brighter, clearer, and more balanced. It is gentle, safe for sensitive skin, and requires little to no downtime.
