House of Aetheria · Skin
Two gentle laser treatments for two different jobs. Laser toning works on pigmentation and uneven tone. The carbon laser facial clears pores and brings back glow. Both are done in the clinic in under an hour, with little or no downtime.
In short
Laser toning uses a low-energy Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to fade pigmentation and even out skin tone over a course of sessions. The carbon laser facial uses a carbon lotion and the same type of laser to clear pores, control oil and add glow. Our dermatologist chooses one, or a mix, after a skin assessment at House of Aetheria, Sector 65, Gurugram.
Choose with confidence
Start with what bothers you most. Your doctor will confirm the choice at your consultation.
Dark patches and marks that a cream has not shifted.
Patchy colour from sun, or a tan that will not fade.
Brown or red marks left after pimples have healed.
Pores that look bigger, with oil and debris sitting in them.
Skin that looks tired and shiny by afternoon.
Congestion that a normal facial does not fully clear.
A clear, luminous finish with no peeling to hide.
Many people benefit from a plan that uses both, in a sensible order.
Laser toning suits most skin types, and settings are chosen for yours. Tell your doctor if you have had a lot of sun recently or have a fresh tan, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a skin infection or irritation. We may delay treatment or change the plan.
The science, simply
A low-energy Q-switched Nd:YAG laser targets pigment deposits below the skin surface without removing the top layer. Your skin then clears the broken-down pigment over the following weeks. Most people feel a warm pulse, like a light snap.
Laser toning key facts ↑
A thin layer of carbon lotion sits on the skin. On the first pass the laser lifts the carbon out of the pores along with oil and debris. On the second pass it warms the skin to support collagen and even out tone.

We look at your skin, ask about your history and goals, and confirm the treatment is right for you.
Your skin is cleansed and your eyes are protected. For the carbon facial, the lotion is applied.
Slow, even passes across the treated area. It feels warm, and the session is short.
Sunscreen goes on and you head back to your day. Some pinkness is normal and settles quickly.
Straight talk
Pigmentation fades gradually over a course of sessions. Melasma in particular can come back, and published studies report that it often does once treatment stops. Sun, heat and hormones are common triggers. That is why we pair toning with daily sun protection and a maintenance plan, not a one-off blitz.
Why pigmentation returns after laser →You see a clearer, fresher look quickly, while pore and tone improvements build over several sessions. If you have active, inflamed acne, we assess it first and may treat that before the carbon facial. Results vary from person to person.

Laser toning is widely used on Indian skin tones. Settings are chosen for your skin type after an assessment, with extra care for pigmentation-prone skin.
It depends on your skin and how deep the pigment sits. Most people need a course of several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, and your doctor will set the number after your assessment.
Melasma can return, especially with sun exposure, heat or hormonal changes. Daily sun protection and a maintenance plan lower the chance, and your doctor will explain what to expect.
Usually little or none. You may have some pinkness for a short time, and you can return to normal activities the same day.
Yes, it is the same treatment. A carbon lotion is applied to the skin and a laser is passed over it twice, to clear pores and refresh the skin.
It can help with blackheads, oil and mild breakouts. If you have active, inflamed acne, your doctor will assess it first and may recommend treating that before the carbon facial.
One session gives a fresh, clear look. For pores and tone, a course of 3 to 6 sessions is common. Your doctor will suggest a schedule.
