[Visible Spots & Freckles Intensive Treatment] Spot/Freckle Laser

Distinction 1. Freckle Laser with noticeable changes expected even with a single treatment

Freckle laser utilizes the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, designed to primarily target epidermal pigments.

This wavelength has the characteristic of selectively acting on melanin pigments.

Immediately after the treatment, the pigments may temporarily appear darker or reddish-brown as they absorb laser energy.

Afterward, improvement can be expected even with just a single treatment, and you can experience noticeable changes.

These changes can be observed in a short period.

The treated area may temporarily appear darker for about 2-3 weeks,

but after this period, as the skin regenerates, good results can be expected even with a single treatment.

Rather than concluding that multiple treatments are necessary, our clinic aims for satisfactory changes with just one treatment.

Distinction 2. Why we focus deeply on treatment

Our clinic values the completeness of each treatment and sets a limit on the number of patients each director sees per day.

This is our operating policy to allocate sufficient time and focus to each patient.

In accordance with this policy, detailed explanations and individualized treatment plans are established throughout the entire process, from consultation to treatment and post-care.

This ensures enough time to meticulously observe the patient's skin condition and treatment response, and to incorporate these observations into the treatment.

This contributes to enhancing the precision of the treatment, allowing for excellent results.

We aim to provide meticulous care, not just repetitive treatments. Our clinic focuses on results without rushing,

and deeply concentrates on the individual skin condition of each patient.

Distinction 3. Individualized Treatment Settings

We meticulously adjust treatment parameters such as spot size, pulse energy, and fluence, carefully considering the patient's skin tone, lesion size and depth, and skin reactivity.

For example, for bright skin with shallow pigmentation, we precisely perform the treatment using a spot size and energy suitable for targeting freckles,

while for skin at risk of hyperpigmentation or sensitive skin, we adjust the output delicately to minimize skin burden during treatment.

This detailed treatment setting process is a crucial factor that improves the precision of treatment results and leads to better outcomes, even when using the same laser equipment.

Distinction 4. Systematic Post-Treatment Recovery Management

The 755nm Alexandrite laser is characterized by relatively clear and rapid skin reactions.

Due to this, temporary redness or a reddish-brown discoloration of the treated area may occur after the procedure, making regeneration care and sun protection extremely important.

Since each patient's sensitivity to pain varies, the application of anesthetic cream is thoroughly discussed and decided during the pre-treatment consultation.

After the treatment, we provide soothing care using cooling therapy and Jaungo modeling packs for skin that may experience warmth.

Additionally, we provide regenerative tapes like DuoDERM to aid skin recovery and protect the skin from UV rays.

Distinction 5. A Comprehensive Approach to Pigmentation Treatment Beyond Freckles

Many patients who visit for freckle removal often have dermal pigmentation, such as melasma, in addition to freckles.

Of course, treatment can be performed targeting only freckles,

but patients often wish for improvement in overall facial pigmentation concerns.

Therefore, after a thorough consultation with the patient and analyzing the facial pigmentation type using diagnostic equipment, we decide whether to focus treatment solely on epidermal pigmentation,

or to establish an integrated treatment plan that improves the overall balance of pigmentation.

This approach helps achieve a clearer and more harmonious skin tone.

Causes of Freckles

Freckles are an epidermal pigmentation disorder caused by genetic factors and UV exposure. They typically appear from childhood and are relatively common in people with light skin.

They tend to appear frequently in areas often exposed to sunlight, such as the nose and cheekbones, and their shade may darken or lighten depending on the season.

Common Locations for Freckles

Freckles can respond effectively to specific laser wavelengths due to the skin's structural and optical characteristics.

The 755nm wavelength is known to be suitable for freckle treatment. Freckles are primarily caused by melanin pigment deposition in the basal layer of the skin's epidermis.

These melanin granules accumulate locally to form freckles. Histologically, freckles are classified as a condition that primarily appears in the epidermal layer rather than deep in the dermis.

As a result, the 755nm long-pulsed Alexandrite laser can be a good option for treating pigmented lesions distributed in the epidermis and upper dermis.

This laser selectively absorbs melanin pigment, making it suitable for epidermal pigmented lesions such as freckles.

Understanding the 755nm Wavelength

The 755nm wavelength is an Alexandrite-series wavelength with a relatively high absorption rate for melanin pigment.

This tends to selectively act on pigmented lesions widely distributed in the skin's epidermal layer.

The 755nm long-pulsed laser allows for precise control in milliseconds (ms), enabling relatively high energy to be concentrated and delivered to the freckle lesion.

The melanin pigment in freckles absorbs this laser energy and converts it into thermal energy. During this process, pigment particles are finely broken down. The broken-down freckle pigment can naturally shed along with fine dead skin cells during the skin's regeneration cycle, or be processed and eliminated by macrophages in our body.

As pigment is removed in stages, you can expect freckles to lighten or improve. Treatment results may vary by individual.

Considerations for Freckle Removal Treatment

The 755nm Alexandrite laser is a wavelength that can be usefully applied to freckle lesions.

However, the success of the treatment is not solely determined by the choice of laser wavelength.

It is crucial to perform an accurate diagnosis before treatment and thoroughly understand an individual's skin condition to customize the equipment settings.

Furthermore, when accompanied by a program that aids in skin soothing and regeneration after the treatment, more stable results can be expected.

It is advisable to pursue satisfactory freckle improvement through a comprehensive approach. It is recommended to make a decision after consulting with a specialist.
