Seongdong-gu Dermatology Summer Facial Redness & Pigmentation Laser Treatment, Including Acne Redness

Summer Pigment Treatment

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Haengdang-dong.

Summer is a very difficult season for skin care. Hot weather and a humid environment can easily disrupt skin health, and exposure to ultraviolet rays can also lead to pigment problems! In particular, once pigmentation disorders develop, they are difficult to improve with self-care or at the skincare stage alone, which makes them feel even more challenging. That is why it is important to practice thorough prevention care in daily life, and if a problem occurs, to respond quickly from the early stage.

Summer Pigment Treatment

Summer Melasma

During the summer, when ultraviolet rays are strong, pigment problems such as melasma can easily worsen noticeably. Melanin is stimulated and produced in excess, leading to brown or grayish patches on the cheekbones or cheeks. Because the time exposed to ultraviolet rays is longer than usual, pigment formation becomes more active.

Once melasma has settled in, it often does not naturally fade, so both prevention and active treatment are necessary. Although it may appear to be limited to the skin surface, melanin can actually spread deep into the skin layers, so a customized approach by skin layer is important.

<Summer Melasma>

• Occurs when melanin is excessively deposited

• Mainly appears as brown or gray patches on the cheekbones and cheeks

• In summer, production is promoted by strong ultraviolet exposure

Helios 785

A representative device that can be used when treating melasma or pigmentation disorders is Helios 785. You can think of it as an upgraded version of the previously known Helios series! With one device, it uses two pico-second wavelengths and nano-second wavelengths to target melanin at various depths and treat it selectively.

Another advantage is that the wavelength can be adjusted according to the skin condition, and if necessary, it can be combined with other pigment lasers to create a synergistic effect. Pigment problems often cannot be resolved with a single wavelength alone, so combining multiple wavelengths to precisely break down melanin distributed throughout the skin layers is an effective approach.

<Helios 785>

• Pico 785nm / Nano 1064nm / Nano 532nm

• Selective breakdown of melanin throughout the skin with 3 wavelengths

• Combined with devices other than Helios depending on the skin condition

Summer Facial Redness

Not only ultraviolet rays, but also hot and humid environments are major factors that worsen facial redness. In summer, rising temperatures, strong sunlight, and repeated heat stimulation easily cause the shallow blood vessels in the skin to expand. In particular, the capillaries in the face are sensitive to irritation, so redness and a feeling of heat tend to recur.

The problem is that the redness does not end as a temporary phenomenon; with repetition, it can become chronic. Over time, the red vessels may remain as they are, or it may lead to pigmentation and give the skin a dull appearance! Therefore, if redness occurs, it is better to manage it early before it becomes more severe.

<Summer Facial Redness>

• Sunlight, rising temperatures, and irritation in summer

• Facial blood vessels become more sensitive, worsening facial redness

• The skin becomes red and feels hot

• If it persists, it can develop into pigmentation

Summer Facial Redness

Acne Redness

In summer, sebum secretion increases and sweating also rises, making inflammatory acne more likely to worsen. Even when acne disappears, it can still be a problem because the red marks left after the inflammation subsides can gradually turn brown over time and lead to pigmentation. In hot and humid environments in particular, bacterial growth is also more active, so inflammatory reactions often become more severe.

If you have a habit of squeezing or touching acne, the inflammation can become deeper, and the marks can remain darker. Once it settles into pigmentation, the treatment period also becomes longer, so we recommend improving it quickly at the red-mark stage. It is important to combine soothing care and laser treatment appropriate for the skin condition!

<Acne Red Marks>

• In summer, increased sebum secretion leads to more inflammatory acne

• Red marks after inflammation may remain for a long time

• Improvement is needed early before it progresses into pigmentation

Acne Redness

DDR Laser Redness Treatment

If the skin looks red due to facial redness or acne marks, a laser that works selectively on red pigment should be used. DDR laser is one effective option! Using a 585nm wavelength, it can selectively remove expanded blood vessels and help improve the red tone while minimizing skin irritation.

It has the advantage of addressing vascular lesions and pigment marks at the same time while reducing the burden on the surrounding normal tissue. It is effective in refining an uneven skin tone or a redness that has lingered for a long time into a more even tone. As a result, it can also improve the impression of skin that looks sensitive. Lastly, what matters most is using the right device for the skin condition, which can help ensure safe treatment and good results :)

<DDR Laser>

• Selective removal of expanded blood vessels with a 585nm wavelength

• Improvement of facial redness and acne red marks

• Minimal skin irritation, more even skin tone

• Simultaneous improvement of redness and red marks
