In the Seoul Forest area, many people may be considering laser treatment at an aesthetic clinic to remove melasma and spots.

 

Melasma and spots are pigmentation issues that occur from the epidermis down to the dermis,
and they are caused by factors such as UV exposure, hormonal changes, and skin aging.

The photo below was taken with the patient’s consent using the diagnostic device “Mark-Vu” under the same lighting conditions.

 

As for side effects of laser treatment, burns, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmented spots may occur.

 

In particular, melasma and spots that appear on the face are noticeable, so many people wish to undergo treatment.

This photo shows the results after our clinic’s laser treatment,

and by checking the date, you can see that many sessions or long treatment periods are not necessarily required.

So, how do we perform pigmentation treatment at our clinic?

I would like to share some information on what you should know in advance to avoid wasting unnecessary time and money.

Clinics equipped with the skin diagnostic device Mark-Vu

 

The first step in treating melasma and spots is, of course, an accurate diagnosis.

 

Patients often say things like, “I have a lot of melasma,” or “I want to get rid of spots.”

However, from a doctor’s perspective, the classification of pigmentation is highly diverse, with diagnoses divided into dozens of types.

Therefore, based on an accurate diagnosis,

it is necessary to decide whether to use a pico laser or a nano laser.

 

Which wavelength to choose, such as 532nm / 694nm / 755nm / 1064nm / 10,600nm.

 

How to set the energy values according to the color of the pigmentation and the skin tone.

 

These all need to be determined.

 

However, if the diagnosis is made only with the naked eye,

or if it is conducted by a counselor instead of a doctor who simply says “Toning will be fine,”

 

can that really be considered an accurate diagnosis?

 

At our clinic, without going through a counselor,

an experienced doctor conducts the consultation directly and uses Mark-Vu to analyze each person’s skin in detail.

 

Based on that, a treatment plan is established, leading to a high level of satisfaction.

 

In particular, melasma and spots are sensitive to stimulation.

 

To achieve stable results, the care of a skilled specialist is indispensable.

 

We possess a wide variety of lasers that can be used according to the diagnosis.

There are indeed a wide variety of devices for lasers that remove melasma and spots.

 

The price of lasers ranges from inexpensive to very expensive,
and the difference can be as much as twenty-fold.

 

It is not realistic for every clinic to have all the expensive devices,
but in order to handle diverse pigmentation treatments, there are some machines that must be available at minimum.

 

The wavelengths that are particularly important for melanin are
532nm, 595nm, 755nm, 1064nm, 2000nm, and 10,600nm.

 

As you can see from the graph,
the wavelengths that can deliver energy to melanin are concentrated between 500 and 1000nm.

 

Therefore, to treat melasma and spots of various depths,
it is recommended to have lasers with four different wavelengths,
two or more pico lasers,
and two or more long-pulse devices.

 

At our clinic, including PicoSure, PicoPlus, Derma-V, and Apogee Elite Plus,
we have more than five devices dedicated specifically to melasma, spot, and vascular treatments.

These devices each cost tens of millions of yen,
but the reason we have introduced many high-performance machines rather than cheaper ones
is because they guarantee beam quality and accurate energy output.

 

This minimizes stimulation to the skin,
provides stronger power to break down melanin,
and allows for safer and faster results.

 

Toning? It should not be casually applied to all types of pigmentation.

The photo below was taken with the patient’s consent,
under the same lighting conditions using Mark-Vu.

 

As side effects of laser treatment, burns, pigmentation, and hypopigmented spots may occur.

 

Toning is an effective method for mild pigmentation,
helping to even out the overall facial tone and create clearer, more radiant skin.

 

Therefore, it is a recommended procedure for those with mild melasma or spots,
or for those who wish to improve their overall skin tone.

 

However, if one tries to treat epidermal spots or dark pigmentation with toning alone,
it may actually increase the time and cost required.

Therefore, at our clinic, in such cases we do not use toning,
but instead use stronger energy to treat quickly.

 

In this process, to avoid leaving scars or burns,
the doctor conducts the consultation and treatment directly,
providing tailor-made care for each individual.

About Aftercare Following Treatment

 

After laser treatment for melasma and spots, aftercare is also extremely important.

 

Since the skin can become sensitive after treatment,
UV protection and sufficient moisturizing are essential.

 

At our clinic, we provide detailed explanations about post-treatment care
and offer appropriate prescriptions.

 

In addition, all treatments are carried out privately in individual rooms,
and experienced doctors handle consultations and treatments directly,
providing services tailored to each patient.

Summary

If you are considering treatment for melasma or spots in the Seoul Forest area,

be sure to check these two points:

• Whether the clinic has a wide variety of laser devices.

• Whether the doctor provides direct consultation.

 

By providing the most suitable treatment based on the condition of the skin
and the type and depth of pigmentation,
the fastest results can be achieved while saving both time and cost.

 

Melasma and spots are caused by various factors such as UV exposure, hormonal changes, and aging,
and their forms and depths are diverse.

 

Therefore, it is impossible to solve everything with just one type of laser.

 

At our clinic, we make use of multiple devices,
and based on the rich treatment experience of our medical director,
who is also the author of a textbook on lasers,
we provide safe and effective treatments.

Before treatment, we establish a treatment plan through an accurate diagnosis using a skin diagnostic device.

 

After treatment, we provide thorough aftercare such as UV protection and moisturizing to prevent recurrence.

 

If you are considering laser treatment around the Seoul Forest area,
we are currently running an opening promotion,
so please take the opportunity to experience satisfying results at a great value.
