Distinction 1 Laser expected to improve freckles in just one session

Freckle lasers are designed with wavelengths developed to target lesions, selectively reacting only to melanin pigment.

After the procedure, the pigment may temporarily swell or develop tiny scabs. Through these changes, improvement in freckles can be expected with just one treatment session, and in some cases, improvement is seen within a relatively short period.

The scabs formed are very small, so freckles may appear temporarily darker for about 2-3 weeks. However, after this period, you can experience satisfactory improvement with just one treatment session.

While there is a general perception that freckle treatment requires 3 or more sessions, we pursue an approach that aims for noticeable improvement with just one session.

Distinction 2 Principles for precise and meticulous treatment

To prioritize the quality aspect of treatments, we strictly limit the number of patients seen per medical staff member per day.

The number of daily appointments allocated per medical staff member is carefully adjusted to ensure sufficient time. This is a deliberate decision to provide more in-depth focus and time for each patient.

Thanks to this treatment system, we can provide thorough explanations and create personalized plans for patients at every stage, from consultation to treatment and aftercare. This allows us to observe the patient's skin condition and reactions more closely and incorporate them into the treatment.

This enhances the precision of treatments and enables us to provide meticulous and high-quality medical services, beyond simple repetitive procedures.

We prioritize the quality of medical outcomes over merely spending time. We genuinely focus on the skin condition of each individual patient, striving to provide solutions tailored to their needs.

Distinction 3 Detailed settings tailored to individual skin conditions

We meticulously analyze the patient's skin tone, lesion size and depth, and the skin's reaction to adjust the laser's spot size, pulse energy, and fluence values.

For example, for brighter skin tones and shallower pigmentation, the laser is applied more precisely with a smaller spot size and higher energy. Conversely, for skin prone to hyperpigmentation, the output is delicately adjusted to reduce the risk of side effects.

Finely adjusting laser parameters in this way, even when using the same equipment, significantly impacts improving treatment precision and enhancing individual results.

This approach can serve as a key factor in increasing treatment satisfaction.

Distinction 4 Post-treatment skin recovery management design

The 532nm laser rapidly reacts to pigmented lesions, which can result in tiny scabs or temporary redness after treatment. Therefore, meticulous care for skin regeneration and sun protection is essential.

The degree of pain experienced during 532nm laser treatment can vary for each patient. Accordingly, we determine whether to apply anesthetic cream during a pre-consultation, and after the procedure, we provide soothing care using cooling and a Jaugo modeling mask.

After the treatment, Duoderm is provided within the clinic to aid skin recovery and contribute to protecting the skin from UV rays.

Distinction 5 Treatment plan considering overall pigmented lesions, not just freckles

A significant number of patients who visit for freckle removal also have dermal pigmented lesions such as melasma, in addition to freckles.

While it is possible to focus solely on removing freckles, many patients often wish for improvement in overall mottled pigmentation across the entire face.

Through in-depth consultation with the patient and the use of diagnostic equipment, we accurately classify the pigmented lesions on the face. Subsequently, we carefully discuss and decide on the treatment direction, whether to target only epidermal pigmentation or to aim for overall improvement of pigmented lesions.

Through this, we aim to help patients achieve a brighter and clearer skin tone.

What causes freckles?

Freckles are common epidermal pigmented lesions that result from a combination of genetic predisposition and strong UV exposure.

They typically begin to appear in childhood and are more frequently observed in individuals with lighter skin tones.

They primarily occur on areas directly exposed to sunlight, such as the nose and cheekbones, and tend to darken or lighten with seasonal changes.

Characteristics of Freckles and Laser Response

Freckles tend to respond relatively well to specific laser wavelengths due to the skin's unique structural and optical characteristics.

One of the wavelengths that can be effective for such lesions is 532nm.

Most freckles are formed by the localized accumulation of melanin granules in the basal layer of the epidermis. Due to this characteristic, the selective action of the 532nm wavelength can be effective for freckle removal.

Principle of 532nm Laser Action

The 532nm wavelength is a green-spectrum wavelength with a high absorption rate for melanin pigment. It primarily acts selectively on pigmented lesions located in the epidermal layer of the skin.

Typically, the 532nm laser utilizes the Q-switched method. This method involves instantaneously irradiating high energy output for a short duration, measured in nanoseconds, to selectively destroy only pigment particles.

The irradiated short-pulsed energy is selectively absorbed by melanin and converted into thermal energy. Simultaneously, it creates a photomechanical effect, effectively breaking down melanin particles.

These finely broken-down pigment particles are partly formed into tiny scabs that naturally fall off, while the remaining part undergoes a process of being expelled into the lymphatic system through macrophages in the body.

As pigment particles are removed, the freckle lesions can visibly lighten, and overall improvement can be expected.

Freckle Removal Procedure Guide

Lasers can help with freckle management by utilizing appropriate wavelengths.

However, treatment results are not solely determined by the choice of wavelength.

Only when a comprehensive treatment plan is established, considering an accurate diagnosis of your skin condition and customized settings for each individual patient,

can you truly expect satisfactory improvement.
