Tone means color variations in skin. Tonal issues can have many root causes:

Hyperpigmentation (dark spots on the skin)

• Sun damage, which is damage to DNA, can be a cause
• Conditions such as melasma (symmetrical dark map-like patches on the face) can be present
• Natural genetic melanin banding patterns can be a significant source of tonal irregularities in skin

Irritation responses in skin can cause intermittent redness

• A histamine reaction can take place in the skin as a result from the environment or a topical product application
• More complex issues such as rosacea which can have many contributing factors which need careful diagnosis
• Excessive bacterial presence on skin can lead to site-specific red patches on skin.

All of the above can be managed effectively with a variety of techniques.

Skin textural issues can be due to many root causes as well.

• The natural aging process slows down the production of new skin cells and skin lipids which can lead to older skin residing on the skin surface.
• Poor skin maintenance can lead to skin irregularities through products which may not be indicated for your individual skin needs.

There are multiple newly developed techniques which can help your skin to "turn-over" more rapidly, thus bringing new skin cells to the surface faster to give that deep new skin look. Newly developed micro laser peels are extremely effective at producing a beautiful skin surface with minimal or no down time.
