Laser Toning 101: How Clarity Laser Clears Pigmentation While Collagen-Boosting

Real results, gentle approach. Now available at Aegis MD in St. Catharines.

Let’s be honest—when it comes to skincare, most of us want to see a difference, but we’re not always up for downtime, redness, or peeling. That’s where Clarity laser toning really shines. It’s one of our go-to treatments at Aegis MD in St. Catharines, and for good reason.

Think of Clarity like a quiet multitasker. It fades dark spots, smooths rough texture, and gives your skin a glow without a big recovery and no harsh aftermath. Just softer, brighter, more even skin.

What exactly is laser toning?

Clarity uses a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, a technology known for its precision and safety across a wide range of skin tones. The laser emits energy in nanosecond pulses, which selectively targets melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots) without damaging surrounding tissue. It breaks down pigment into tiny fragments, allowing your body’s natural lymphatic system to gradually eliminate it.

But that’s only part of the magic—this laser also stimulates fibroblast activity, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin over time. This means you’re not just fading pigmentation—you’re also reinforcing the skin’s internal structure for a smoother, firmer texture.

Why patients keep coming back for more

Refines skin tone, safely

Clarity works below the surface to gradually reduce sun spots, age spots, and post-acne pigmentation. Unlike treatments that bleach or overly sensitize the skin, this one gently restores balance, leaving the complexion brighter and more even-toned.

Stimulates collagen—without the inflammation

Laser toning doesn’t rely on heat-induced injury to stimulate collagen. Instead, it uses light energy to activate natural regeneration, making it a great option for sensitive skin types or anyone who prefers subtle, cumulative improvements.

Smooths and softens skin texture

Many patients notice a visible improvement in the look of pores and fine lines after just a few sessions. It’s not dramatic or “tight”, but leaves a healthy, refined texture that feels soft to the touch and visibly more polished.

How does Clarity Laser Toning work?

You come in, relax, and we’ll walk you through the process. The session takes about 30–45 minutes and feels like a warm tickle across your skin—no numbing needed. Some patients see a slight pink tone to their skin immediately after, but this fades quickly and allows most patients to head right back to their day.
