[Effectively Removing Lentigo] Lentigo Laser

Key Differentiator 1 Melanin Spot Laser Showing Results in a Short Period

Melanin spot treatment is quickly completed.

At Kkeut Clinic, we precisely remove deep and distinct melanin spots in the first stage using a 532nm Nd:YAG laser, identical to the 'ReX Laser',

and only if necessary, in the second stage, we use an Er:YAG Erbium YAG laser to clear even faint residual pigmentation.

Most cases are completed in 2-3 sessions at most.

Without unnecessary repetitive treatments, we achieve clean results in a short period through accurate diagnosis and planning.

Kkeut Clinic's melanin spot treatment promises definite results.

Key Differentiator 2 Reasons Why We Must Be Meticulous

Kkeut Clinic prioritizes the quality of treatment, clearly limiting the number of clients treated per day per doctor.

The number of daily appointments per doctor is adjusted to approximately one-third of the industry average, a deliberate choice to dedicate more time and focus to each individual client.

Thanks to this system, thorough explanations and individualized treatment plans are possible throughout the entire process, from consultation to procedure and aftercare, allowing ample time to closely observe and respond to the client's skin condition.

As a result, the precision and satisfaction of the treatment increase, realizing 'meticulous medical care' rather than mere repetitive consultations.

Kkeut Clinic values results more than time and genuinely focuses on each client's skin. We believe this is why most of our clients come through referrals.

Key Differentiator 3 Personalized Settings

Considering skin tone, lesion size and depth, and skin reactivity, we adjust spot size, pulse energy, and fluence.

For example, for brighter skin with shallow pigmentation, we precisely irradiate with a small spot size and high energy, and for skin at risk of hyperpigmentation, we treat safely by adjusting the output.

Such detailed settings enhance the precision and satisfaction of treatment results, even when using the same laser equipment,

and are a key factor.

Key Differentiator 4 Recovery Plan After Treatment

As the 532nm laser has a fast reaction, scab formation or temporary erythema may accompany treatment, making regeneration and UV protection management extremely important.

Additionally, since each client's pain sensitivity varies depending on the 532nm laser and secondary Erbium YAG laser treatments, the application of anesthetic cream is decided through pre-consultation, and after the procedure, soothing care is provided with cooling and a Jaungo modeling pack.

Furthermore, Duoderm is provided within the clinic to aid in recovery and UV protection.

Key Differentiator 5 Only Melanin Spots? Designed Treatment Considering Overall Pigmentation

Most clients who visit for melanin spot removal also have dermal pigmentation such as melasma in addition to melanin spots.

While it's good to target and remove only melanin spots, we believe clients ultimately want to remove all uneven pigmentation.

After a thorough consultation with the client using diagnostic equipment, we classify the pigmentation on the face and then determine the treatment direction: whether to target only epidermal pigmentation or remove all overall pigmentation.

Thus, we create bright faces for our clients with that subtle, yet significant, difference.

Why do melanin spots appear?

Solar lentigo is a flat, brown pigmented lesion primarily caused by UV exposure and skin aging,

resulting from hyperactive melanocytes leading to excessive pigment deposition in specific areas.

Repeated exposure to UV radiation continuously stimulates melanin production,

and as one ages, the skin's regenerative capacity and pigment metabolism decrease, causing the spots to become progressively darker and spread wider.

They primarily appear on the face, back of hands, and arms, characterized by distinct borders and a deep brown color.

Location of Melanin Spot Distribution

Melanin spots (solar lentigines) primarily occur confined to the epidermal layer of the skin,

specifically when melanocytes located in the basal layer become hyperactive due to UV stimulation,

resulting in the localized accumulation of melanin pigment.

Histopathologically, they do not penetrate the dermis, but rather represent excessive melanin deposition within the epidermis,

with relatively clear boundaries observed from the surrounding normal tissue.

For this reason, they are characterized by responding well to epidermal-targeted laser treatments, such as Q-switched 532nm,

It is distinguished from melasma or mixed type pigmented lesions affecting the dermis.

532nm Wavelength

The 532nm wavelength is a green wavelength that falls within the range with the highest absorption rate for melanin pigment, selectively acting on pigmented lesions confined to the epidermal layer of the skin.

The 532nm laser is generally used in a Q-switched mode, which instantly irradiates high-power energy in ultra-short pulses of several nanoseconds to destroy only the pigment particles.

These short pulses are selectively absorbed by melanin and converted into thermal energy, while simultaneously generating a photomechanical effect, thereby breaking down melanin particles.

Some of the broken-down pigment falls off as scabs, while others are expelled through the lymphatic system by macrophages.

As the destroyed pigment is removed, the lentigo visibly fades or disappears.

Kkeuthan Clinic's Lentigo Removal

Lentigo laser is the most effective wavelength for treating lentigo, but

The success of the treatment does not stop at wavelength selection alone.

When an integrated treatment plan considering accurate diagnosis, customized settings, and more is implemented,

only then is true result differentiation achieved.
