[Apogee Elite Plus] Men's Laser Hair Removal

Kkeuthan Clinic's Customized Laser Hair Removal

Kkeuthan Clinic performs laser hair removal that considers individual skin characteristics.

Hair removal procedures that reflect individual characteristics can provide greater satisfaction.

If, despite multiple laser hair removal treatments, you don't see the changes you expect, what could be the reason?

Since each person has different skin conditions and hair characteristics, the approach to treatment cannot be the same.

Laser hair removal works by reacting to melanin pigment in the hair and delivering thermal energy.

However, because hair and skin characteristics vary by individual and by area, a uniform energy setting makes it difficult to expect satisfactory results and can lead to unnecessary skin irritation.

*Kkeuthan Clinic Emphasizes Meticulous Analysis

We meticulously examine the amount, thickness, color, and density of hair, as well as skin tone, to set customized energy levels suitable for the skin condition of each area.

-Pulse Duration

For thicker hair, it is generally recommended to set a longer pulse duration.

Using a short pulse on thick hair with high melanin content can cause energy to be absorbed too quickly, potentially irritating the epidermis. In such cases, utilizing a longer pulse can help deliver heat gently, protecting the skin surface.

-Energy Density (j/cm²)

For thicker hair, a higher energy density setting may be required. Thick hair has a large amount of melanin and a robust structure, so sufficient energy must be delivered to achieve desired results.

1. Thick and Dark Hair

→ Thick and dark hair, rich in melanin pigment, can effectively absorb laser energy.

2. Fine Hair, Light Hair

→ Fine or light-colored hair tends to have less melanin. In these cases, energy settings can be adjusted or repeated treatments can be performed to effectively deliver heat to the hair follicles.

3. Areas with High Hair Density

→ Treatment is performed by dispersing energy to prevent unnecessary overheating of the skin.

4. Darker Skin Tones

→ Since melanin pigment is also present in the skin, laser output needs to be delicately adjusted to prevent unwanted skin reactions.

*Kkeuthan Clinic Closely Monitors Treatment History and Progress

At Kkeuthan Clinic, we carefully observe changes in hair condition by area, skin reactions, and the density of remaining hair as treatment sessions progress. Based on this analysis, we finely adjust the laser output strength, wavelength, cooling time, and other factors during treatment.

For the initial treatment, energy is set according to the initial hair condition, and for subsequent treatments, energy intensity is adjusted based on the state of the remaining hair. If necessary, wavelength changes are also considered in the planning, and repetitive treatments using the same method are avoided.

Since skin conditions continuously change, it is important for treatments to be flexibly adjusted to these changes.

1. Applying individual laser settings suitable for each treatment area

2. Adjusting energy based on skin reactions observed during treatment

3. Continuous review of previous treatment records and hair change trends

4. Setting goals and developing detailed plans tailored to each treatment session

5. Skin-centric hair removal plans that consider skin tone, pore condition, and skin texture

Rather than merely focusing on hair removal, this approach delicately observes the skin condition and aims for skin improvement.

Some of you may be curious about the difference in treatment effects between GentleMax.

Hair removal devices with insufficient cooling function,

can increase the risk of skin burns if high power energy is delivered in a short amount of time.

The reasons are as follows:

If the pulse width is short, the same amount of energy can be instantaneously concentrated on the epidermis, causing a rapid temperature increase.

In such cases, insufficient cooling can make it difficult to effectively control the rapid rise in heat.

Therefore, for a safe treatment, it is important to set a sufficiently long pulse width when using high power,

to allow thermal energy to be delivered gradually to the skin.

Consequently, if the cooling performance is adequately supported,

effective hair removal results can be expected even for deep and thick hair by applying high power and short pulses.

Compared to conventional air-cooling methods, the gas cooling method of the GentleMax device

may have an advantage in terms of cooling effect.

However, for the power levels required for most hair removal treatments, non-contact Apogee Cryo-cooling alone

is considered sufficient to achieve adequate cooling effects.

Precautions Before Treatment

ㆍYou must shave the treatment area before your visit.

To enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, it is advisable to trim the hair in the treatment area short.

Especially for male patients, it is recommended to shave the treatment area just before your visit on the day of the procedure.

To ensure a smooth procedure, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows the treatment area to be easily exposed.

For example, if you are receiving treatment on your arms or underarms, a sleeveless top can be helpful for the procedure.
