To See Proper Results from Pigmentation and Tattoo Treatment at Jamsil Station Dermatology, What Matters?

Pigmentation · Tattoo Treatment

Hello, this is Jamsilon Dermatology!

Pigment left on the skin or tattoos can become more than just a cosmetic issue and may also lead to psychological 부담. However, the treatment process is not as simple as it may seem. Even if they look like ordinary brown spots, the approach changes depending on which layer of the skin they are in and how long they have been accumulated. In particular, tattoos contain various pigments deposited deep within the skin, so they require specialized equipment and careful procedures. That is why an accurate diagnosis and a systematic treatment plan are more important than anything else. We hope today’s post will be of some help with your pigmentation and tattoo treatment, so let’s get started:)

Why is pigmentation treatment difficult?

First, let’s take a look at pigmentation treatment. There are two major reasons why pigmentation treatment is difficult. First, there are many different types of pigmentation. Melasma, freckles, blemishes, and Ota nevus all have different characteristics, so even when treated with the same laser, the response can vary. Second, the skin layer where the pigmentation is located differs. Blemishes closer to the epidermis are relatively easier to remove, but melasma located in the deeper dermal layer requires repeated treatment.

In addition, responses vary depending on ultraviolet exposure, hormonal changes, and skin type, and excessive procedures can instead lead to side effects that make the pigmentation darker. Therefore, pigmentation treatment is not simply about “removing” it. A stable outcome can only be achieved through a customized approach that takes into account the cause, location, and skin characteristics together.

Hollywood Spectra

It is also helpful to know about the lasers commonly used for pigmentation treatment. First, Hollywood Spectra is a device that has been used for a long time in pigmentation treatment, and through a variety of wavelength ranges it can address pigmentation in multiple layers. It reacts selectively to melanin, breaking pigment particles into smaller pieces and helping them be naturally eliminated through the body’s metabolic process.

It also allows delicate adjustment of the intensity of irradiation, making it especially suitable for Koreans with a wide range of skin types. Another advantage is that it reduces damage to the surrounding skin during the pigmentation treatment process and can precisely target only the necessary area! Since it is a laser that has shown consistent effects even on refractory pigmentation, it can be said to achieve both safety and effectiveness.

Pico Plus

Next, Pico Plus uses picosecond laser technology that delivers energy in trillionths of a second. By concentrating high energy over this very short time, it breaks pigment particles into even smaller pieces, which improves treatment efficiency and helps reduce pigment recurrence.

It is especially effective for treating deep pigmentation or refractory melasma that did not respond well to conventional lasers, and it shows a quick response even to pigments with strong and distinct colors. Another advantage of Pico Plus is that it can selectively remove only the pigment while minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding skin! Thanks to this, stable results can be expected even with repeated procedures.

• Short time / strong energy / pigment particle breakdown

• High efficiency / reduces pigment recurrence

• Refractory melasma / minimal thermal damage / safety

Why is tattoo treatment difficult?

Now let’s move on to tattoo treatment! Why is tattoo treatment difficult? It is because the components and colors of the ink used, as well as the depth at which it has settled in the skin, all vary. When multiple pigments such as black, blue, red, and green are used at the same time, each absorbs different wavelengths, making it difficult to remove them all at once.

In addition, tattoo pigments have larger particles than ordinary pigmentation and are embedded deep within the skin, so multiple laser sessions are needed. The biggest concern in the process of removing a tattoo is skin damage and scarring, and the key is to remove the pigment effectively while minimizing this as much as possible. That is why techniques with both safety and precision are essential.

<Why is tattoo treatment difficult?>

• Different absorption wavelengths for each color

• Large pigment particles / located deep in the skin

• Multiple treatment sessions required

FrecZero Technique

At Jamsilon Dermatology, the FrecZero Technique is applied to overcome these limitations. First, the R0 Technique applies a special liquid to the skin, allowing the laser to be delivered multiple times to the same area so that pigment can be broken down more quickly in a short time. On the other hand, the FrecTat Technique is designed to remove tattoo pigment evenly, reducing the problem of pigment remaining behind and causing patchiness or uneven changes in the skin.

The method that combines these two is the FrecZero Technique. It is a treatment that increases the speed of tattoo removal while minimizing skin damage! In other words, it is a method that can offer more effective results while reducing concerns about side effects. The device mainly used is a picosecond laser, and through consistent treatment you can effectively remove tattoos over time :)
