Unique Features of Kkeuthan Clinic's Dual Toning

The Speciality of Kkeuthan Clinic's Dual Toning

Combining laser toning and Genesis treatments does not guarantee the same results for everyone.

Kkeuthan Clinic's Dual Toning meticulously analyzes each individual's skin condition to design a customized treatment.

This allows for more precise and satisfactory treatment outcomes.

During treatment, the number of shots or the type of equipment are not the only important criteria.

We comprehensively examine various factors such as the depth and location of pigments within the skin, the stratum corneum's reaction, and other issues like reduced elasticity, redness, or enlarged pores.

Based on this analysis, we establish a total of five detailed treatment criteria to set a customized direction for you.

① Pigment-Focused Type – Skin primarily concerned with melasma, blemishes, and epidermal pigmentation.

This type is characterized by melanin pigments concentrated mainly in the epidermal layer.

In this case, the focus is on reducing pigments, primarily through laser toning.

The goal is to restore an overall bright and even skin tone.

② Complex Problem Type – Skin showing both melasma and redness symptoms.

This is a case where pigment discoloration in the deep dermal layer is observed simultaneously with redness caused by vascular issues.

In this situation, it is important to apply low-power energy broadly instead of strong stimulation to gently elicit a skin response.

This can be considered for individuals with sensitive skin or those who have not had satisfactory reactions to previous treatments.

③ Redness-Focused Type – Skin with prominent redness around the cheeks or nose.

This may be accompanied by dilated capillaries, a sensation of heat, and sensitivity that easily leads to flushing.

Genesis treatment is applied repeatedly with high power,

This helps to stabilize blood vessels and improve skin barrier function.

④ Fine Lines and Reduced Elasticity Type – Skin that is thin, prone to dryness and fine lines.

Due to a lack of moisture within the skin, the skin texture appears rough and elasticity is reduced.

Genesis laser is applied deeply and broadly, with overlapping shots,

This can promote collagen production in the dermis and help improve overall skin texture.

⑤ Pore and Skin Irregularity Type – Skin concerned with acne marks or enlarged pores.

This refers to cases where the skin around the pores has lost elasticity, making them appear enlarged, or when small scars are present.

In such cases, treatments that deliver thermal energy deep into the skin to aid in overall skin regeneration and restructuring are considered.

*Special Aspects of Kkeuthan Clinic's Dual Toning

The Dual Toning performed at Kkeuthan Clinic

does not simply mean a combined treatment using two types of lasers.

1. The depth of pigment lesions and their distribution pattern within the skin

2. Sensitivity and natural recovery ability according to each skin type

3. Other accompanying issues such as reduced elasticity, redness, or enlarged pores

We comprehensively consider these various factors

and custom design every aspect, from laser wavelength settings and output intensity to handpiece selection and the number of shots, for each individual.

This precise treatment design, tailored for only one person,

is what we can highlight as a key feature of Kkeuthan Clinic's Dual Toning.

Precautions After Treatment

• ㆍCleansing and makeup are possible from the day of the procedure. It is especially important to pay attention to sun protection.
• ㆍFor temporarily irritated skin, sufficient soothing and moisturizing care is helpful.

What is Melasma, and How is it Different from Blemishes?

Melasma is not merely a phenomenon where melanin pigment is excessively produced and deposited in the skin.

It is characterized by the excessive activation of pigment cells called melanocytes in the deeper layers of the skin.

Melanin produced by activated melanocytes repeatedly spreads over a wide area.

This melanin penetrates the dermis, manifesting as a complex pigmented disorder that persists for a long period.

External stimuli, such as UV exposure or hormonal changes, are factors that activate melanocytes.

During the process of melanocyte stimulation, micro-inflammatory responses and vascular-related factors within the skin act concurrently.

As a result, melasma often appears not as simple spots, but as a form of pigmentation with indistinct borders that spreads widely.

Tissue biopsy results indicate that the number of melanocytes appears to be within the normal range, but

the size of melanocyte cells and their dendritic structures show a tendency to significantly enlarge.

This leads to melanin pigment being transferred more widely and efficiently to surrounding skin cells.

In some patients, areas with melasma may also exhibit subtle capillary dilation or flushing reactions.

Such cases are sometimes separately classified and described as 'vascular melasma'.

Rather than viewing melasma simply as a disease, it is better understood as a phenomenon where the skin reacts sensitively to external stimuli.

It is closer to a result that appears when the skin responds to various stimuli in a structurally unstable state.

Therefore, a treatment approach that improves both the underlying causes of melasma and the skin structure, rather than simple pigment removal methods, is considered important.

While dual toning can be effective for general pigmented disorders, the dual toning method may be even more recommended than regular toning, especially for melasma treatment.
