This is Gyeonggi Anyang Beomgye KKEUT Korean Clinic's procedure note on Facial Blemish Removal Treatments: Why is it important to identify the type of blemish first.
Before considering a facial pigmentation lesion removal treatment, there are a few important things you should know.
If you approach all the various spots on your face as the same type of blemish, there's a possibility that the condition could worsen.

Even pigmentation lesions that may appear similar on the surface actually have different causes and depths within the skin.
Melasma, which typically occurs around the dermo-epidermal junction, tends to be greatly influenced by hormonal changes and UV exposure.
Melasma, in particular, is sensitive to friction and irritation, and improper management can actually deepen its color.

Seborrheic keratoses develop from an excessive proliferation of keratin-forming cells in a specific area, and are primarily located in the epidermal layer.
They are typically characterized by a slightly raised, palpable texture on the skin surface.
Lentigines are lesions formed by a concentrated cluster of melanocytes in the epidermis, often appearing with clear borders against the surrounding skin.

Thus, when the type of pigmentation lesion differs, the effective laser wavelength and the required amount of energy naturally vary.
If a treatment is performed without accurate differentiation, lesions sensitive to irritation, such as melasma, could worsen, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation might also be induced.
Therefore, it is advisable that treatments to remove facial blemishes begin with an accurate diagnosis and differentiation above all else.

One of the representative treatments that can be performed after differentiating various blemishes is laser toning.
This treatment uses a method of selectively destroying melanin pigment by irradiating a laser with wavelengths of 1064nm or 532nm at low energy multiple times.
Rather than removing pigment all at once with strong energy, it's a process of gradually lightening the pigment through repeated treatments.

Identifying the type of blemish on your face first can be considered the initial step toward a successful removal treatment.
Typically, the treatment process involves a relatively simple procedure: laser irradiation after cleansing, followed by soothing care to conclude.
The pain felt during the treatment is mainly a tingling sensation, and in most cases, it can be performed without separate anesthesia.

Pigmentation lesions usually do not disappear completely in one go; they tend to gradually lighten through ten or more cumulative treatments.
After the treatment, pay extra attention to sun protection, and it is advisable to avoid strong irritating cleansers for a few days.

The idea that all blemishes are the same type of pigment, so any laser treatment is fine, is one of the common misconceptions.
If a treatment is performed with energy unsuitable for the type of blemish, the improvement effect may be minimal, or it could leave only unnecessary irritation.
At Kkeut Clinic, we first accurately differentiate the type of facial blemishes and then create a suitable removal treatment plan tailored to each individual.

At Kkeut Clinic, we provide a sufficient number of shots, over 2000, during toning treatments, which you can verify with the director.
Kkeut Clinic strives to deliver energy precisely to the necessary areas, focusing more intensely on the patient's area of concern.
At Kkeut Clinic, instead of insisting on the same intensity for every treatment session, we gradually adjust the energy considering the skin's condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many facial blemish removal treatments are needed?
A. The number of treatments for facial blemish removal varies individually depending on the depth and type of blemish, but typically, ten or more consistent sessions may be considered. At Kkeut Clinic, we adjust the energy appropriately for each treatment session.
Q. Is there downtime after facial blemish removal treatment?
A. Facial blemish removal treatment is considered a procedure with a relatively short recovery period. Slight redness may appear immediately after the treatment, but it usually subsides naturally within a few days.
Q. Is it necessary to confirm the type of blemish before facial blemish removal treatment?
A. Yes, that's correct. If the exact type of blemish is not identified before facial blemish removal treatment, it can actually lead to the pigment becoming darker, so a differential diagnosis must precede the treatment.
Q. Is facial blemish removal treatment very painful?
A. The pain during facial blemish removal treatment is generally a tingling sensation, and in most cases, you can comfortably receive the treatment without an anesthesia process.
