Melasma Always Comes Back? The Solution to Persistent Recurrence is 'Laser Treatment'. Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

Melasma and other pigmentation issues involve more than just uneven skin tone.

The challenges of melasma and pigmentation extend beyond basic skin discoloration.

Even with diligent, long-term care,

many individuals often experience frustration and anxiety due to a recurring cycle:

“There's a slight improvement, only for it to darken once more.”

Our medical team deeply empathizes with such ongoing difficulties.

This understanding guides Kkeut Clinic's approach;

we adhere to a philosophy of meticulous, accurate, and measured treatment

especially when addressing pigmentary conditions.

1) Sufficient Energy at a Safe Intensity: Our Rationale for 2,000+ Shots

Expedited treatments are not our primary focus.

For pigment management, the cumulative impact is often more crucial than rapid execution.

Our established treatment guidelines involve:

• A minimum of 2,000 shots per treatment session

• Instead of low power, we utilize precisely modulated energy levels

• Minimizing skin irritation

• Optimizing therapeutic outcomes

Furthermore, clinical research indicates that the 1,500 to 2,500 shot range

is recognized as a beneficial and well-tolerated zone,

and we diligently follow this particular guideline.

A laser device is not designed to burn the skin.

Rather, it serves as a tool for delivering precisely regulated biological signals into the skin.

The volume and strength of these signals should be carefully customized

to each person's unique skin response to achieve desirable outcomes.

2) Prioritizing the Understanding of Pigment 'Depth' and 'Behavior'

Melasma typically necessitates a gentle treatment strategy,

while ABNOM (Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-like Macules)

often demands a more robust energy application.

Applying a uniform treatment method to distinct pigment types

could potentially aggravate the existing condition.

Consequently, Kkeut Clinic employs a differentiated treatment protocol as follows:

• Melasma → Gentle treatment, specifically targeting melanosomes

• ABNOM → More intense treatment, focusing on dermal pigment

• Mixed types → Varied settings applied to specific areas

Lacking this tailored approach,

consistent and safe treatment outcomes are challenging to achieve.

3) Real-time Monitoring with a Mirror, Together with the Patient

We do not simply apply laser shots and conclude the session without further assessment.

Throughout the treatment, we actively examine the skin alongside the patient using a mirror,

to observe even minor skin reactions in real-time.

시술 중에는 환자분의 피부 반응을 살피며 다음과 같은 요소를 섬세하게 조절합니다:

• 레이저 빔 크기

• 에너지 출력 강도

• 핸드피스 종류

• 집중 시술 부위

이러한 조절 과정은 시술이 끝날 때까지 이어집니다.

이는 시간을 다투는 작업이 아니며,

정교함이 요구되는 과정입니다.

4) 마크뷰(Mark-Vu) 분석을 통한 색소 깊이 및 위치 육안 확인

본원에서는 추측에 의존하지 않습니다.

마크뷰 피부 분석 시스템을 활용하여,

시술 전 색소의 구조를 눈으로 직접 확인합니다.

확인하는 내용은 다음과 같습니다:

• 색소의 깊이

• 위치

• 분포 양상

• 기미, 주근깨, ABNOM(후천성 오타모반양반점)의 구분

이러한 정보들을 바탕으로,

어떤 방식으로 레이저를 조사해야 할지 결정합니다.

5) 복합 색소는 층별 치료를 원칙으로 합니다.

많은 환자분들이 기미와 ABNOM을 동시에 가지고 계십니다.

이러한 경우에,

• 강한 에너지는 기미를 악화시킬 수 있습니다.

• 약한 에너지는 ABNOM에 반응을 일으키지 않습니다.

본원에서는 다음과 같은 방식을 따릅니다:

-기미를 먼저 안정화시키고

-이후 ABNOM에 강한 에너지로 접근합니다.

이 순서를 지키면,

피부 변화가 혼란 없이 부드럽고 안정적으로 진행될 수 있습니다.

피코토닝과 레이저토닝, 어떤 선택이 적절할까요?

피코토닝은 빠른 반응을 보일 수 있는 경향이 있으며,

레이저토닝은 더 안정적인 접근이 가능합니다.

결국 중요한 것은 어떤 장비를 쓰느냐가 아니라,

누가 시술을 하느냐에 달려 있습니다.

만약 다음의 조건들이 충족된다면:

• 10회 이상의 누적된 시술 경험

• 피부 반응에 따른 실시간 조절

• 적절한 에너지와 충분한 샷수

두 시술 방법 간의 결과 차이는

거의 미미해질 수 있습니다.

Laser toning is a procedure whose effectiveness has been clinically confirmed for nearly 20 years.

It is a method that can be applied even to sensitive or thin skin,

offering a stable and reliable option.

Our clinic's treatment philosophy is as follows:

“Pigment treatment within the range the skin can tolerate”

Therefore, we avoid aggressive treatments that may put a strain on the skin.

We do not pursue an approach that aims to “clear everything at once.”

Instead, we focus on the following:

• Helping the skin to stabilize on its own,

• Treatments that can be steadily continued while minimizing the burden of side effects,

• And creating a structure that helps prevent recurrence.

With honest treatment,

measured intervention,

and based on shared decision-making through ample discussion with the patient,

we subtly guide every treatment process.

Post-procedure care

• Cleansing and makeup are typically allowed on the same day.

• It is advisable to focus on moisturizing and calming care.

• In particular, sun protection is very important.

• Temporary redness or swelling may occur, but it generally resolves naturally.

• If discomfort persists, please do not hesitate to request a consultation.

We approach treatment with a mind that understands and respects the skin

and the body's natural responses.

Whether it is melasma, freckles, or acquired bilateral nevus of Ota (ABNOM), any pigment issue,

that single spot may have caused you long-standing stress.

We first consider that emotional burden.

When it comes to pigment treatment,

we never rush.

We will observe carefully and understand the cause,

and treat your skin in a way it can safely tolerate.

Rather than forcibly removing pigment,

but by helping to create skin that does not darken again,

we will support you with sincerity and meticulous care.
