Can melasma and blemishes be cleared up with Pico Toning?
hello.
I am Jeong Seung-eun, the head director of Maypure Godeok Branch.
My face has turned a shade darker now that summer is over.
Something like a spot that wasn't there before suddenly appeared.
I think it's melasma, but I don't know where to start.
When September comes, you will say this
I hear it a lot.
UV rays accumulated throughout the summer
stimulates melanin production
The pigment comes out all at once in the autumn
It is because it comes up and looks visible.
Today is one of the solutions.
Let me tell you about Pico Toning.
"Aren't these all freckles?"
The first thing I do in the consultation room is
pigment Distinguishing no see.
The brown spots on the face
It is broadly divided into three categories,
The treatment methods are different.
✔️ Melasma
Symmetrically on both cheeks
As if the boundaries are blurring It happens.
Not only ultraviolet rays, but also hormonal changes and excessive heat stimulation
It is related and tends to recur frequently.
✔️ Freckles
A small, distinct dot This is scattered and
It usually existed since childhood.
The pigment in the epidermal layer reacts to the laser.
It is relatively fast.
However, if you receive ultraviolet rays again
It may darken or new ones may appear.
✔️ Age spots
The surface is slightly raised and thick.
It feels rough to the touch.
It is said to be keratinocytes that have grown on the surface of the skin.
It does not lighten well with toning.
The thicker the stratum corneum, the more so.
The reason this distinction is important is,
Mistaking age spots for freckles
There are cases where you only repeat toning.
This is because there are more than expected.
Age spots are caused by directly handling the surface
A different method is needed.
So rather than talking about the procedure
Seeing what it is first second
I always keep it in front.
"What makes Pico Toning different?"
Existing laser toning as well
The principle of breaking down the pigment itself is the same.
However, because light is emitted in nanosecond units
In that process heat This is delivered together.
Pico Toning is much shorter than that.
We investigate in picosecond units.
If time gets shorter
The opportunity for heat to spread to the surroundings is reduced, and
pigment granules finely crushing method to
It gets closer.
To summarize
Conventional toning: Heat accounts for a large proportion
Pico Toning: Has a high proportion of breaking power.
Broken pigments over time
It is expelled from the body.
As the heat stimulation decreases
From heat-sensitive pigments like melasma
It is relatively less burdensome.
How many times do I have to receive it? yo. this?"
It is not a procedure that is completed in a single session.
Depending on the type and depth of pigment
It is because the reaction speed is different.
Freckles and light blemishes
It tends to react relatively quickly.
Freckles
Divided into multiple times at low output
Approach slowly.
If you get greedy and push too hard, it would actually be counterproductive
The pigment may return.
Age spots
We look at other methods together instead of toning.
The spacing is usually 2~4 weeks I recommend,
Adjust while monitoring skin reaction.
The effect and required number of times are
There is a lot of individual variation.
Do I just need the laser treatment?
Melasma requires topical treatment.
Put the sunscreen and whitening ointment first.
The method of placing the laser on top of it
The results are more stable.
Even in domestic and international clinical guidelines
Topical treatments and sun protection should be done first.
Laser is considered next in order.
If you just repeat the laser
It is easy to revert to the original state during the recurrence phase.
Is it correct to receive it now?
Pigmentation treatment is The time when ultraviolet rays decrease go
It is easy to manage.
During treatment, the skin
Because I have become more sensitive to stimuli,
If you receive strong ultraviolet rays again
Pigmentation can re-deposit.
Pigments accumulated throughout the summer
It is a time that appears in autumn, and,
The time when ultraviolet rays decrease.
so From September Until winter
pigmentation management period
There are many instances where I mention this.
"Won't it come up again?"
To be honest,
Melasma can recur.
Hormones, ultraviolet rays, and heat
It is because it continues to have an impact.
So, what is just as important as the procedure is
Post-completion management no see.
😎 UV Protection
Apply even on cloudy days
You need to get into the habit of reapplying during the day.
Not only ultraviolet rays visible light Blocking up to
A toned product containing iron oxide
It is more advantageous in reducing pigment recurrence
There are research results.
🔥 Reduce heat stimulation
Sauna, hot water face wash,
Prolonged exposure to heat stimulates pigmentation.
🧴 Reduce friction
Vigorous cleansing and exfoliation
You can restore the pigment.
If management does not follow
Even if we increase the number of episodes, we remain at the same level.
Things to know before receiving
- There may be redness or slight swelling immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides within a day.
- Temporary pigmentation (rebound pigmentation) may occur depending on skin type.
- If repeated at short intervals, white spots (punctate hypopigmentation) may rarely remain, so adjust the interval and output.
- The procedure may be restricted if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking photosensitizing medications.
- If UV protection is not maintained after the procedure, pigmentation may return.
- Effectiveness, required frequency, and duration vary from person to person.
Pigment treatment is more about output than
Seeing exactly what it is This separates the results.
