Distinguishing Feature 1. Solar Lentigo Laser Treatment with Precise Targeting

A precise approach is taken for solar lentigo lesions. At our clinic,

the 755nm Alexandrite, which responds well to melanin pigment and reaches an appropriate depth in the skin

laser is utilized to meticulously target dark and clear solar lentigo lesions.

Sometimes, as a second step, Er:YAG Erbium YAG

laser can be used in conjunction to address even the slightest residual pigment on the surface. Typically, desired changes can be expected with about 2-3 sessions. Excessive repeated

treatments are minimized, and we aim for clear improvement within a reasonable timeframe through precise diagnosis and planning.

Improvement can be expected after solar lentigo treatment.

Distinguishing Feature 2. The Philosophy Behind Meticulous Care

Our clinic values the perfection of treatments and limits the number of patients seen by one director per day. The number of daily appointments per director is set to approximately 1/3 of the industry average,

This is a decision made to dedicate more sufficient time and effort to each and every patient.

This operational approach allows for ample time throughout the entire process, from consultation to treatment and post-care,

enabling thorough explanations and the creation of personalized treatment plans, as well as the ability to closely monitor and adapt to skin conditions and responses.

This provides sufficient time to enhance the precision of treatments and meet patients' expectations,

We provide 'meticulous medical care' rather than mere repetitive consultations. Our clinic focuses on the quality of treatment rather than time, genuinely concentrating on each patient's

skin condition. This is likely why many individuals visit us through referrals.

Distinguishing Feature 3. Individual Optimization of Treatment Settings

We meticulously consider skin tone, lesion size and depth, and skin sensitivity when adjusting laser settings such as spot size, pulse energy, and fluence.

For instance, if the skin tone is light and the pigmented lesion is relatively shallow,

we delicately irradiate using a precise spot size and customized energy for the target area,

whereas for darker skin tones prone to hyperpigmentation or sensitive skin, we prioritize safety by making fine adjustments to the output during the procedure.

Such delicate adjustment of settings is a crucial aspect that can enhance the precision of treatment results and influence patient satisfaction, even when using the same laser equipment.

Distinguishing Feature 4. Systematic Post-Treatment Recovery Management

While the 755nm Alexandrite laser can be effective for pigment removal, temporary redness may appear after treatment, or

the pigment in the treated area may temporarily appear darker than before. Therefore, systematic skin regeneration management and sun protection are essential.

Furthermore, when performing 755nm laser and Erbium YAG laser treatments, individual patients' pain sensitivity may vary,

so we thoroughly discuss and decide on the use of anesthetic cream during the pre-consultation.

After the treatment, we provide cooling care to soothe any heat sensation and calming management using a Jaungo modeling pack.

Our clinic is equipped with authentic Duoderm, which helps facilitate smooth recovery and protects the skin from UV rays when outdoors.

Distinguishing Feature 5. Beyond Solar Lentigo: Customized Treatment Design Considering All Pigmentation

Many patients who visit for solar lentigo removal often have other dermal pigmented lesions like melasma in addition to solar lentigo. While focusing solely on removing solar lentigo is one approach, patients often have concerns across their entire face

We believe they hope for complex improvement of various pigment concerns that give a mottled appearance.

Through detailed consultation with the patient and analysis using diagnostic equipment, we identify the type of pigmentation on the face and determine whether to focus on treating specific epidermal pigment lesions, or to consider the overall balance of pigmentation

and set a comprehensive treatment direction. This allows us to expect a noticeably improved skin tone and clarity for our patients.

How do Solar Lentigines Develop?

Solar lentigines (Solar Lentigo) are primarily caused by UV exposure and skin aging,

appearing as flat, brown pigmented lesions. They result from excessive activation of melanocytes, leading to a high accumulation of pigment in specific areas.

This describes the condition. With continuous exposure to UV radiation, melanin production continues, and as one ages,

the skin's regenerative capacity and pigment processing ability decrease, causing them to gradually become darker and spread wider. They primarily appear on the face, back of the hands, and arms, with borders that are

typically clear and dark brown.

Distribution of Lentigines

Lentigines (solar lentigines) primarily

appear mainly in the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin),

where melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis become excessively activated by UV radiation, causing melanin pigment to

accumulate intensely in specific areas. Histological examination reveals that lentigines do not penetrate deep into the dermis; instead, excessive melanin is

accumulated within the epidermal layer, and they are characterized by a clear demarcation from the surrounding normal skin tissue.

Due to these characteristics, a 755nm laser is suitable for targeting pigments in the epidermis and upper dermis,

and good response to long-pulsed Alexandrite laser treatment can be expected. Conversely, deep dermal

melasma or complex pigmented lesions require a different treatment approach.

Characteristics of the 755nm Wavelength

The 755nm wavelength is effectively absorbed by melanin pigment and is an Alexandrite laser wavelength that can safely reach the entire epidermal layer and the upper dermal layer.

The 755nm laser, delivered in a long-pulsed mode, precisely controls and delivers energy to the pigmented areas in millisecond (ms) units. Melanocytes selectively absorb this light energy and convert it into heat, helping to gently break down pigment

particles. Some of these broken-down pigments are naturally exfoliated through the skin's natural metabolic processes on the surface of the skin,

in line with the skin's turnover cycle, along with dead skin cells. Other portions are absorbed and expelled by macrophages within the body.

absorbed and expelled. As the destroyed pigment gradually disappears, a noticeable lightening or

fading of lentigines can be expected.

Lentigines Removal Treatment at Our Clinic

The 755nm Alexandrite laser is considered an effective wavelength for lentigines treatment.

Although it is an effective wavelength, treatment results are not solely determined by using good equipment. Precise skin diagnosis, individualized settings for each patient, and a systematic post-treatment skin care program must be combined to achieve

satisfactory results.
