Jamsil Laser Toning: Effects of Removing Melasma and Spots

<Includes Device Comparison>

'There are so many spots on my cheekbone area

that even concealer doesn’t cover them well...'

People who visit because they are worried about melasma or spots often say that, as time passes, they seem to get darker, and at some point, makeup can no longer hide them.

If they are in a less noticeable area, that would be better, but unfortunately they often appear in very visible places such as the cheekbones, under the eyes, or the cheeks.

There are various reasons melasma and spots appear, but in general, they are caused by overactive melanin, which darkens the skin.

Today, I’ll organize the essential information about laser toning that can remove this melanin, starting with why melasma and spots occur, then the features of various toning devices, and finally the post-treatment care you should definitely follow.

Why do melasma and spots occur?

There are various reasons melasma and spots appear, but the most common include excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, and genetic factors.

Among these, the most common cause is excessive sun exposure.

When the skin is exposed to too much ultraviolet light, the skin temperature rises and an immune response to defend against damage is activated, and during this process, the distribution of melanin increases abnormally.

Melanin is the pigment that darkens the skin, so melasma and spots tend to appear more easily in those areas.

On top of that, if stress or an irregular daily routine is added, hormonal balance can be disrupted, which may worsen melasma or spots further.

What is the principle of laser toning?

Many people are curious about how laser toning works.

You can think of it as delivering laser energy that selectively breaks down and removes only the melanosomes inside cells (the sacs containing melanin).

When high energy is delivered in a very short time, the melanin pigments are broken into very small pieces, and the body’s immune cells recognize them as waste and naturally eliminate them.

Because this process does not damage the surrounding normal skin tissue, you do not need to worry about healthy skin being harmed during the procedure.

There are many devices—how are they different?

There are many devices that can be used for laser toning. Since there are so many types, I often get requests to compare them, so I’ll organize that here as well.

• PicoSure

This is a laser device that uses a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength.

As the name “pico” suggests, it delivers the laser in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). That is an incredibly short amount of time.

The characteristic of this wavelength is that it responds strongly to melanin but weakly to blood vessels.

So it can target only the pigmented spots without stimulating blood vessels.

• PicoHi

This device uses a 1064nm wavelength, allowing it to penetrate deeper layers than PicoSure.

It is considered effective for recurrent melasma and darker pigmentation issues.

• Ruby Laser

This device uses a 694nm wavelength and is effective for difficult pigmentation such as Ota nevus.

It is also widely used for challenging cases such as recurrent melasma or mixed-type melasma.

• Derma V, Accento, VRM4

These devices mainly use a 1064nm wavelength mode.

Because they can deliver an even energy beam, they are stable and the treatment time tends to be short.

When I explain the various treatment devices, people also often ask which one is the best.

The appropriate device differs depending on the depth of pigmentation, skin type, and type of melasma, so the best approach is to undergo a skin assessment and receive treatment with the device most suitable for your skin concerns.

Today, we looked at many points together, from why melasma and spots appear to the principle of Jamsil laser toning, device comparison, and precautions after treatment.

To get the best results from laser toning, it is advisable to choose a device suited to your individual skin condition and have the procedure performed with appropriate energy.

For that, the consultation process is more important than anything else.

So if you are considering treatment, it would be good to check whether the clinic carefully examines your pigmentation issue and provides a thorough diagnosis from the start.
