[Lentigo Clear] Lentigo Laser

Differentiator 1 Expect improvement with solar lentigo laser treatment, requiring fewer sessions

Solar lentigo treatment is a relatively efficient process.

As a first step, we meticulously treat dark and distinct solar lentigo lesions using a 532nm Nd:YAG laser.

Afterward, for areas where residual pigment remains, appearing faded, we can pursue further improvement using an Er:YAG laser.

While individual differences may exist, the treatment course typically concludes within 2 to 3 sessions.

Through accurate diagnosis and a customized plan, we help reduce unnecessary repeat treatments and enable you to expect improved results in a short period.

Our solar lentigo treatment can contribute to lesion improvement, helping you achieve satisfactory results.

Differentiator 2 Meticulous and focused care

We prioritize the quality of treatment above all else, limiting the number of patients seen per medical staff member per day to enhance focus.

To ensure sufficient time and attention for each individual patient, we carefully adjust the number of daily appointments.

This operational approach allows us to closely monitor each patient's skin condition and reaction throughout every stage, from consultation to treatment and post-care, and to develop a customized plan accordingly.

Through this, we aim to enhance the precision of treatment and provide meticulous medical services beyond simple care.

We prioritize the qualitative completeness of care over the time spent, making it a principle to genuinely focus on each patient's skin condition.

Differentiator 3 Customized adjustment of treatment settings

We delicately adjust laser settings such as spot size, pulse energy, and fluence, considering your skin tone, the size and depth of the lesion, and your skin's reaction.

For example, for bright skin and shallow pigment lesions, we precisely irradiate with a small spot size and appropriate energy. For skin prone to hyperpigmentation, we carefully adjust output values to minimize post-treatment burden.

Such precise adjustment of laser settings tailored to each individual improves the accuracy of treatment results, even when using the same equipment.

An important part.

Differentiator 4 Delicate management of the recovery process after treatment

Since 532nm laser treatment shows a rapid response, scabs or temporary redness may appear after the procedure. Therefore, it is important to focus on skin regeneration and UV protection.

Each patient may have different sensitivities to pain during 532nm laser or Er:YAG laser treatment. Considering this, the decision to use anesthetic cream is made through pre-consultation, and after treatment, we apply cooling treatment and a calming modeling mask to comfort the skin.

In addition, we provide Duoderm for quick recovery and UV protection.

Differentiator 5 Integrated approach to overall pigment lesions beyond solar lentigo

Many individuals who visit for solar lentigo removal often have various dermal pigments, such as melasma, in addition to solar lentigo.

While we can certainly focus solely on treating solar lentigo, we understand that many individuals wish to improve overall facial pigmentation as well.

After thorough consultation using precise diagnostic equipment, we accurately classify the pigments distributed on the face. Then, we discuss and decide on the treatment direction, whether to treat only epidermal pigments or to aim for overall pigment lesion improvement.

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

Causes of solar lentigo

Solar lentigo (Solar Lentigo) are flat, brown pigment lesions that primarily arise from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light and the skin's aging process.

They appear when pigment accumulates excessively in specific areas due to overactivity of melanocytes.

Continuous exposure to UV rays activates melanin production,

And as we age, the skin's regenerative capacity and pigment metabolism decline, causing solar lentigines to gradually darken and enlarge.

They typically occur on the face, back of the hands, and arms, characterized by clear boundaries with the surrounding skin and a distinct dark brown color.

Skin layer where solar lentigo primarily appears

Solar lentigo, or solar lentigines, are pigment lesions primarily confined to the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.

Specifically, melanocytes in the basal layer, the deepest layer of the epidermis, become excessively activated by UV stimulation,

Leading to a concentrated accumulation of melanin pigment in specific areas.

Pathohistological findings show that solar lentigo pigment does not deeply penetrate the dermis, but rather remains predominantly as an excessive accumulation of melanin within the epidermis.

This characteristic typically results in relatively clear boundaries between the surrounding normal tissue and the pigmented lesion.

This is the main reason why they respond positively to treatments that primarily target the epidermal layer, such as Q-switched 532nm lasers.

This differs from melasma or complex pigmentary lesions that affect beyond the epidermis into the dermis.

Characteristics of 532nm Wavelength

The 532nm wavelength is a green-spectrum wavelength with a high absorption rate for melanin pigment. It is designed to selectively react only to pigmentary lesions that appear in the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin.

The 532nm laser, primarily utilized in a Q-switched mode, instantaneously emits high-power energy in extremely short nanosecond pulses. This allows for precise destruction of pigment particles only, without damaging surrounding skin tissue.

The short laser pulses are selectively absorbed by melanin pigment. This absorbed energy converts into heat, creating a photo-mechanical shock, which causes the melanin particles to break into tiny fragments.

Some of the fragmented pigment rises to the skin's surface and flakes off as tiny scabs, while the rest is absorbed by immune cells called macrophages and expelled from the body through lymphatic circulation.

Once the pigment is effectively removed, you can expect the lentigo lesions to visibly lighten or disappear. Treatment results may vary by individual.

Understanding Lentigo Removal Treatment

While laser treatment is known to be an effective method for lentigo lesions,

the success of the treatment is not solely dependent on selecting the appropriate wavelength.

When an integrated approach, based on precise diagnosis of your skin condition and personalized treatment design, is combined,

satisfactory results can be expected. It is recommended to make a decision after consulting with a specialist.
