Desired procedure - Laser Toning

Is it because summer has come?

Just a brief exposure to sunlight makes my face quickly turn red and my skin darken, giving me the feeling that my skin is burning.

What do you think of the most when you receive UV rays all summer long and after passing through a long summer?

I think I am worried about freckles and blemishes.

No matter how much sunscreen I apply or how many hats I wear to block UV rays, there's no way to prevent the development of dark spots and blemishes caused by pigmentation.

So, I think about getting melasma treatment every summer when autumn comes.

The procedure I want to receive is laser toning. I am usually very concerned about freckles and blemishes.

 

Melasma

 

Dark spots are a typical pigmentation disorder caused by excessive melanin production. They mainly appear symmetrically on both cheekbones and cheek areas, making the skin look dull and uneven.

Freckles caused mainly by ultraviolet rays, improper makeup habits, or hormonal influences have the characteristic of not disappearing naturally once they occur.

Generally, melasma appears around the eyes, cheeks, forehead, and jawline, and it tends to become darker in spring and summer, while fading during winter.

If melasma is left untreated, it can spread across the entire face, so early treatment is more important than anything else.

Since the treatment method varies depending on the depth of the pigmentation, it is important to accurately assess the skin condition and use the appropriate laser equipment for treatment.

 

 

Laser Toning

 

Laser toning is the most effective dermatological method for improving melasma and pigmentation.

Laser toning is a procedure that primarily uses Nd:YAG laser to break down skin melanin and improve dark spots and pigmentation.

After laser toning, you can see an overall improvement in pigmentation and melasma, along with a brighter face and improved skin texture.

Pico toning, which has appeared relatively recently, also falls into this category.

Pico Toning refers to a laser that emits a pulse lasting about 10 to the power of -12 seconds, which is extremely short, in the pico-second range.

Pico toning using Inlighten laser and others is better at breaking down melanin than traditional lasers and also excels in collagen regeneration.

Currently, the most advanced laser worldwide for laser toning is known as Revlite SI.

The C6 laser from Hoya ConBio, which was the first to introduce laser toning, is the latest upgraded model.

Laser toning involves receiving laser treatments on the entire face for about 5 to 10 minutes each session, spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, without overstraining the skin, and it is said to be most effective when done consistently for about 10 sessions.

I really want to undergo the procedure because laser toning not only improves dark spots and blemishes but also promotes collagen production, which helps improve skin texture.

Since the bright summer is approaching, it might be difficult to receive laser toning right now.

Right now, I prioritize sun protection by diligently applying sunscreen, and once autumn or winter arrives, I plan to undergo a procedure.

I hope the day will come when I can say goodbye to dark spots.
