Time Square Dermatology: The Real Reason Results Differ Even with the Same Procedure

Time Square Dermatology,

The Real Reason Results Differ Even with the Same Procedure

Department : Dermatology

"There are so many dermatology clinics around Times Square

that I don't know which one to choose."

"My friend said it worked for her,

so why don't I see any difference?"

"Can the results be different

even with the same device?"

Have you ever been tempted to try the same procedure using the same device after hearing that a friend’s skin improved following a treatment?

However, there are often cases where your own skin does not change as much as your friend’s, leaving you wondering why.

To give you the conclusion first, a device is only one of several factors that determine the outcome; it does not guarantee exactly the same results.

Today, Time Square Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) will explain why results can differ even when the same device is used.

We will divide the explanation into three areas—skin condition analysis, energy settings, and treatment planning—so please read on carefully.^^

Time Square Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) Skin condition analysis is important

The first condition to examine before considering the device is an “analysis of the individual’s skin condition.”

This is because even the same procedure can be received differently depending on the condition of the skin.

For example, what appears to be a simple blemish at first glance may actually be a lentigo, or several types of pigmented lesions may be present at the same time.

Therefore, it is important not merely to examine the skin with the naked eye, but to accurately determine what type of skin concern is present.

In addition, the approach must be adjusted according to factors such as individual skin thickness and sensitivity, even when the same procedure is used, so these aspects need to be checked carefully.

If the skin condition is not properly diagnosed, problems can inevitably arise when creating an individualized treatment plan.

Why do energy settings need to differ?

Once the skin condition has been thoroughly diagnosed, the next important question is how to use the device.

The key factor here is the “energy setting.”

Even with the same laser, the skin’s response can differ depending on the intensity and the intervals at which the energy is delivered.

Many people say, “If I’m doing it anyway, please make it as strong as possible.”

However, higher energy is not always better.

If energy exceeding what the skin can tolerate is delivered, it may instead lead to hyperpigmentation or increased skin sensitivity.

Possible hyperpigmentation from excessive energy settings

Hyperpigmentation is a phenomenon in which irritated skin produces more melanin as a defensive response.

People with relatively deeper skin tones or a tendency toward melasma may be more sensitive to strong heat stimulation, so the intensity must be adjusted carefully.

Rather than setting the energy arbitrarily high, it is important to consider how it should be tailored to each individual’s skin.

Is a clear treatment plan established?

Once the skin has been diagnosed and the appropriate energy intensity has been set, the next step is to create a specific plan for how the treatment will be carried out.

Let’s take a look at what a specific treatment plan should include.

1. How many sessions are needed?

Procedures using lasers, in particular, are often performed over multiple sessions.

It is necessary to plan in advance how many sessions may be needed based on the patient’s skin condition, while also adjusting the plan according to changes in the skin during the course of treatment.

2. Which procedures should be combined?

Depending on the skin condition, one procedure may be sufficient, but in some cases it may be better to appropriately combine different approaches.

3. How should the intervals between procedures be set?

Intervals between procedures vary depending on the skin condition

The skin needs time to recover and settle.

It is important to set appropriate intervals between procedures according to each individual’s skin recovery rate.

If you have followed along so far, you may now have a better idea of what criteria to use when choosing Time Square Dermatology (Department: Dermatology).

Even when the same device is used, the results can differ because of the three factors discussed today.

That is why it is important to speak 충분히 with your medical provider and find the method that is right for you.
