'Before, I got toning about 10 times,

but I didn't really feel like my melasma was improving...'

If a toning procedure you started hoping for clearer skin turns out differently from what you expected, anyone would feel disappointed.

However, melasma, freckles, and age spots need to be approached in different ways to achieve better results.

Today, let's look at how melasma, freckles, and age spots should be approached during laser toning in Jamsil.

The causes and progression patterns of pigment disorders are all different

There are actually many more types of pigment disorders than the general term “blemishes” suggests.

Each pigment disorder requires a different treatment method depending on where the pigment accumulates in the skin, as well as its cause and form.

So even if a pigment issue looks similar at first glance, it is better to treat it after an accurate diagnosis in order to achieve better results.

First, melasma is a condition caused by an excessive buildup of melanin pigment deep in the skin.

It develops through a combination of factors such as genetics, hormonal stimulation, and excessive sun exposure, and appears as irregular brown patches with inconsistent sizes and shapes.

In particular, in Koreans, dermal pigment-type melasma, in which pigment accumulates deep in the skin, and mixed-type melasma, which appears in both the dermis and epidermis, are relatively common.

Freckles are pigment disorders that usually appear as tiny brown spots about 1–2 mm in size on areas that are frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, neck, chest, and arms.

They occur when melanin cells on the skin’s surface produce too much pigment, and they often appear from childhood. Genetic factors and ultraviolet exposure have a major influence.

Age spots, which are black pigmented spots that appear on the face, neck, and backs of the hands after the age of 50, are a skin aging phenomenon caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays.

As dead skin cells and the epidermis thicken, pigment also accumulates, appearing as irregular black spots, and they tend to increase gradually with age.

Because the term “blemishes” is used broadly to include not only melasma, freckles, and age spots but also various other pigment disorders, it is important to first make an accurate diagnosis of which pigment disorder it is in order to see better results from laser toning treatment.

Laser toning procedures by pigment disorder

During laser toning treatment, it is important to adjust and customize which laser to use and at what intensity according to skin type and the depth of the pigment.

For example, the VRM4 device is a laser that uses dual wavelengths of 532nm and 1064nm.

Using the 532nm wavelength can treat freckles and light blemishes on the skin’s surface.

Using the deeper 1064nm wavelength is effective for deep-seated or stubborn melasma that tends to recur.

It can be used for a variety of skin concerns, including melasma, freckles, and redness, and because repeated treatment is possible with low output, it can be recommended for people worried about skin irritation.

Another device, PicoSure, is a laser device that uses a single 755nm wavelength.

This wavelength responds particularly well to melanin pigment, so it acts more effectively on the treatment area while causing less irritation to the surrounding normal skin.

It is mainly effective for treating pigment disorders such as blemishes and freckles located in the unclear area between the epidermis and dermis.

Therefore, if you are considering laser toning, it is important to check whether the clinic is equipped with a variety of devices so that it can provide customized treatment according to the pigment disorder.

Although pigment disorders may look similar at first glance, they show very different causes and patterns. That is why, when receiving treatment through laser toning in Jamsil, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis and establish a treatment plan that suits you.

Rather than a uniform treatment method, an individualized approach tailored to each person's skin condition and characteristics is absolutely necessary.

Please be sure to check whether your skin condition is properly assessed through sufficient consultation during the procedure, and whether the appropriate treatment method is suggested based on that assessment.
