Quick answer · What is Uneven Skin Tone?
Uneven skin tone means patchy darker or redder areas across the face, usually from sun damage, post-acne marks, hormonal pigment or visible redness. At RE:BERRY Clinic it is treated with low-energy laser toning to reduce pigment, Genesis toning for redness and glow, and brightening or hydrating facials. Sessions take about 20–40 minutes with no downtime. Most patients see a more even tone over 4–6 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart.

How it works
Treating pigment, redness and dullness together
An uneven complexion is rarely caused by one thing. Low-energy toning gradually reduces scattered melanin, gentle heating with Genesis toning calms visible redness and improves glow, and hydrating or brightening treatments refine the surface. Your doctor balances these according to which component is strongest.
-
Diagnosis
Your doctor examines pigment, redness and texture to work out what is driving the uneven tone.
-
Tailored treatment
Laser toning, Genesis toning or a brightening facial is chosen and adjusted to your skin on each visit.
-
Follow-up & maintenance
Tone evens out over a course; sunscreen and gentle skincare help maintain the result.
Before & after
