What is Lucas Toning?
Lucas Toning is a pigment and toning treatment that uses the 'Lucas (LUCAS)' Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to deliver gentle, low-fluence 1064nm energy to the skin over repeated passes. Instead of one strong, aggressive pass, low energy is delivered in several divided doses, helping to gradually soften melasma, spots and pigmentation while making the overall skin tone clearer and more even.
How It Works
Lucas is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that emits very short pulses in the nanosecond (ns) range, primarily using the 1064nm wavelength that is selectively absorbed by melanin in the skin. Delivered in a low-fluence toning mode, the laser energy breaks the melanin particles dispersed through the epidermis and dermis into smaller fragments, which are then naturally metabolized and cleared over time. When superficial pigment is also present, the 532nm wavelength may be used together. The mild thermal stimulation created in this process can also encourage the collagen-producing fibroblasts, supporting improved skin texture and radiance.

Lucas Toning at Seye Clinic
At Seye Clinic, we perform Lucas Toning after checking each person's skin condition and the depth of their pigment, adjusting the energy level and delivery accordingly. Our principle is to care for the skin gently over several sessions rather than treating it aggressively in one go, and we soothe the skin with a calming mask after each treatment. Our medical team guides you through every step during your consultation.
