Recently, a new toning device that allows for simultaneous peeling and toning, Gold-Diamond Toning (GD Toning), has been receiving a lot of attention. It's highly preferred because it not only improves pigmented lesions like melasma and blemishes but also provides immediate improvements in skin texture and brightens skin tone right after the procedure. Today, we will take a closer look at important precautions to be aware of when undergoing Gold-Diamond Toning.
What is Gold-Diamond Toning (GD Toning)?
Gold-Diamond Toning is a toning procedure that involves applying an ampoule, whose main components are a special crystal structure called diamond and gold particles, to the skin, and then irradiating it with a Q-switched laser. The principle is that the heat from the gold particles, heated by the laser, causes the diamonds to pop up, and this force helps to exfoliate the stratum corneum.
How many sessions of GD Toning are needed to see results?
Since Gold-Diamond Toning performs peeling and toning simultaneously, its effects tend to appear faster than general laser toning. However, it may be difficult to achieve satisfactory results with just one session. It is generally recommended to receive at least 5 sessions consistently, once every two weeks.
Immediate Post-Procedure Reactions and Daily Life
Immediately after Gold-Diamond Toning, mild erythema may occur. It mainly appears around the mouth, but it usually disappears within about 30 minutes, so there is no significant disruption to daily life.
Since pigmented lesions are highly affected by UV rays after the procedure, be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly when going out. It is even more helpful to cover your face as much as possible with a parasol or hat.
Lifestyle Habits to Be Aware of After GD Toning
After the procedure, it is advisable to be mindful of a few lifestyle habits. It is best to avoid saunas and jjimjilbangs for about 1 week after the procedure. Occasionally, temporary skin troubles may arise, but most of them naturally disappear as the roughened skin recovers. However, for acne-prone or sensitive skin, it may persist for 2-3 weeks.
During the procedure, it is especially important to pay attention to skin hydration. One tip to enhance the effects of Gold-Diamond Toning is to apply a regenerative cream containing EGF, which can lead to more satisfactory results. In addition, healthy lifestyle habits such as sufficient sleep and water intake also positively influence skin recovery.
GD Toning can create synergy when combined with other procedures
Gold-Diamond Toning shows good effects on its own, but it can create even greater synergy when combined with other procedures or treatments tailored to your skin concerns.
- If you want to see better results for melasma, blemishes, and other pigmented lesions, you can combine it with Pico Toning.
- If you are concerned about whitening, red acne scars, or facial redness, try combining it with Gold Toning.
- If you are concerned about pores or acne, it is recommended to combine it with Juliet Laser.
For management programs, we recommend LDM Premium, also known as 'Water Botox', or Oxygen Ginseng Therapy, which is effective for hydration and calming.
