[Targeting Lentigines] Lentigo Laser

Distinguishing Feature 1. Laser that helps improve solar lentigo with precise targeting

We aim for a delicate approach to solar lentigo lesions.

755nm Alexandrite, which responds well to melanin pigment and has an appropriate skin penetration depth

laser is used to delicately deliver energy to dark and distinct solar lentigo lesions.

If necessary, Er:YAG Erbium YAG

laser is used together to delicately treat even residual pigments remaining on the surface. Improvement is generally expected after 2-3 sessions, though individual differences may occur. We avoid unnecessary repetitive

treatments and strive to achieve efficient results based on accurate diagnosis and planning.

We establish and proceed with precise treatment plans for the improvement of solar lentigo lesions.

Distinguishing Feature 2. Principles for Meticulous Care

We prioritize the quality of our treatments, setting a limit on the number of clients each medical staff member sees per day. This policy is designed to allow us to focus more intently on each individual.

This approach is part of our effort to dedicate ample time and focus to each patient.

Thanks to this care system, we can provide ample

information and establish individualized plans. This allows us more time to closely observe the patient's skin condition and treatment response, incorporating these into their care.

Through this, we can enhance the precision of our treatments and improve patient satisfaction. This is more than just a simple

repetitive treatment; we aim to implement 'meticulous medical care'. We prioritize treatment results over the passage of time, focusing genuinely on each patient's

skin concerns. We hope this approach helps build trust.

Distinguishing Feature 3. Personalized Settings

We precisely adjust spot size, pulse energy, and fluence, taking into comprehensive consideration the patient's skin tone, lesion size and depth, and skin reactivity.

For instance, for patients with fair skin and shallow pigmented lesions,

we irradiate delicately with a precise spot size and energy suitable for targeted treatment.

For darker skin tones prone to hyperpigmentation or sensitive skin, we proceed with treatment by finely adjusting the output to ensure skin safety.

These detailed settings are a crucial factor that can improve the precision of treatment results and influence patient satisfaction, even when using the same laser equipment.

Distinguishing Feature 4. Systematic Post-Treatment Recovery Care

As the 755nm Alexandrite laser is highly efficient at pigment destruction, temporary redness may accompany the treated area after the procedure, or

the pigmented area may temporarily appear darker. For these reasons, systematic post-treatment skin regeneration and UV protection care are crucial.

Furthermore, since individual patient pain sensitivity may vary during 755nm and Erbium YAG laser treatments,

we comfortably decide whether to apply anesthetic cream during the pre-consultation.

After the procedure, we provide soothing care with cooling treatments and a Jaundo modeling pack for skin that may experience warmth.

We stock genuine Duoderm within the clinic to aid smooth recovery and help you effectively protect your skin from UV rays when outdoors.

Distinguishing Feature 5. Treatment Considering All Pigmented Lesions Beyond Solar Lentigo

Many patients who visit for solar lentigo removal also have complex dermal pigmented lesions such as melasma, in addition to solar lentigo. While treatment solely for solar lentigo is possible, you may wish for all the

patchy-looking pigment concerns on your entire face to be improved together.

Through thorough consultation with the patient and utilizing diagnostic equipment, we scientifically classify facial pigments. Afterwards, we carefully determine the direction of treatment, whether to proceed with localized treatment focused on epidermal pigments, or to address the overall pigment balance,

encompassing all aspects with a comprehensive treatment. Through this customized approach, we aim to contribute to the improvement of our patients' skin tone.

Why Do Solar Lentigo Lesions Occur?

Solar lentigo (Solar Lentigo) is a flat, brownish pigmented lesion that primarily results from UV exposure and skin aging,

referring to the brownish, flat pigmented lesions that occur. It can be seen as a state where pigment is excessively deposited in specific areas as melanin cells become overactive,

state. Repeated exposure to UV radiation continuously stimulates melanin production, and as we

age, the skin's regenerative capacity and pigment metabolism decrease, causing lesions to gradually darken and spread. They primarily appear on the face, back of hands, and arms, and the lesion borders are

distinct and dark brown, which is a key characteristic.

Location of Lentigo Occurrence

Solar lentigines primarily

appear confined to the skin's epidermal layer (Epidermis). Specifically,

melanin-producing cells in the basal layer become overactivated due to UV exposure, causing pigment to

accumulate in localized areas. Pathological examination shows excessive melanin within the epidermis, without deep penetration into the dermis,

indicating a deposited state. A characteristic feature is the relatively clear demarcation from the surrounding normal skin.

For these reasons, pigmentary lesions in the epidermis and upper dermal layers are targeted by 755nm

a good response can be expected from long-pulsed Alexandrite laser treatments. Therefore, for lesions deep in the dermis

such as melasma or mixed-type pigmentary lesions, it is important to differentiate and create a separate treatment plan.

How the 755nm Wavelength Works

The 755nm wavelength has a significantly high absorption rate for melanin pigment. It is also one of the Alexandrite laser wavelengths that reliably reaches the entire epidermis and upper dermis.

The long-pulsed 755nm laser precisely controls time in milliseconds (ms), delivering high-energy light to the pigmented lesion. Melanin cells then absorb this laser energy, converting it into heat energy to effectively break down pigment

particles more safely into smaller fragments. Some of these fragmented pigments are then naturally expelled through the skin's metabolic processes on the surface,

sloughing off subtly with dead skin cells in line with the skin's turnover cycle. Other fragments are safely absorbed and eliminated from the body by the action of macrophages.

safely absorbed and eliminated from the body. As pigments gradually disappear in this way, lentigines can noticeably fade or

become lighter.

Approach to Lentigo Removal Treatment

The 755nm Alexandrite laser is a highly versatile wavelength for treating lentigines.

However, successful treatment is not achieved merely by using good equipment. Accurate skin diagnosis, personalized treatment settings, and a systematic post-treatment skin care program must be combined to ensure

satisfactory results.
