"People around me say they didn’t really see

good results from melasma treatment. Is that true?



"I thought melasma and pigmentation treatment was all better, but it came back."

Among those undergoing melasma and pigmentation treatment,

there are often people who hear experiences or reviews like the above

and become worried.

That is why many people carefully look into clinics

for effective melasma and spot treatment.

So this time, we will take a closer look at

the Starwalker Laser, an effective device for removing melasma and spots.

If you have been concerned about pigmentation such as

melasma, spots, freckles, age spots, Ota nevus, and lentigines,

please be sure to focus on and read the information below.

One reason pigmentation treatment is difficult

is that the depth of the lesion varies from person to person.

Some exist on the surface of the skin,

while others remain deeper inside.

If these deeper areas are not completely removed,

the pigmentation remains and later grows back.

You might think, "Can’t we just shine the laser deeper?"

but if treatment is carried out blindly at a deeper level,

unnecessary skin damage can occur,

so caution is needed.

Skin that has suffered unnecessary damage

may become more pigmented as heat causes the blood vessels

in the dermis (deep layer) to dilate,

making melasma appear darker.

Therefore, to avoid these risks,

it is necessary to use the appropriate wavelength

according to the depth of the lesion.

What makes this possible

is the Starwalker Laser.

Depending on the lesion, the Starwalker Laser uses

four wavelengths: 1064nm, 650nm, 585nm, and 532nm.

Because of this, by using the four appropriate wavelengths,

treatment can be tailored to the depth of the lesion

while avoiding unnecessary damage.

The Truth About Toning

Toning uses a relatively low-intensity laser

to repeatedly strike the lesion and break it up.

You might think, "Why not just do it once with a stronger laser?"

but if the procedure is performed with too much intensity,

excessive thermal energy can damage even the skin tissue

next to the lesion.

In such cases, burns may occur,

and this can lead to pigmentation,

causing the area beside the lesion to darken as well,

so caution is needed.

The number of times the laser is applied through toning

is called the "shot count."

This can be understood as the number of times

the laser is fired.

In general, a single treatment usually involves

more than 3,000 shots.

With conventional toning devices,

there was a problem where the energy gradually decreased

as the treatment time became longer (and the shot count increased).

As the energy gradually weakened,

even when many shots were delivered,

it sometimes failed to reach deep areas.

However, with Starwalker’s technology,

consistent energy can be delivered continuously,

allowing the lesion to be broken up without being too strong

or too weak, making for an effective laser treatment.
