Customized for skin condition and pigment depth! Dual Toning

What are the characteristics of Dual Toning treatment?

Dual Toning Treatment: A Personalized Approach

Even when combining Laser Toning and Genesis, the treatment approach is customized for each individual.

Dual Toning involves a detailed diagnosis of the patient's skin condition, followed by the creation of a personalized treatment plan.

This process allows for a delicate approach and the expectation of satisfactory improvement.

Rather than simply relying on the number of laser shots or equipment names,

we evaluate various factors including the depth and distribution of pigmentation, skin sensitivity, elasticity, redness, and pore size.

Based on these analysis results, a specific treatment plan is established according to five customized design criteria.

① Pigmentation-Focused Type: When melasma, blemishes, and superficial epidermal pigmentation are the main concerns.

This refers to cases where melanin pigmentation appears concentrated on the skin surface.

In such cases, we often recommend intensive management primarily using Laser Toning.

The focus is on improving overall skin tone to be clearer and more even.

② Complex Sensitive Type: Skin condition with melasma accompanied by redness.

Redness due to pigmentation and vascular reactions within the skin is observed simultaneously.

In such cases, it may be appropriate to avoid excessive stimulation and instead use low energy to gently approach a wide area, inducing a gradual skin response.

This approach can be particularly considered for individuals with sensitive skin or those who have not achieved satisfactory results with other treatments in the past.

③ Redness-Focused Type: Condition where redness is clearly visible on the cheeks or around the nose.

This type primarily presents with the dilation of small blood vessels, a sensation of heat on the skin, and sensitive reactions that cause easy blushing.

In this case, Genesis treatment, involving multiple passes with relatively high energy,

can contribute to calming blood vessels and improving skin barrier function.

④ Fine Wrinkle Type: Skin that is thin and dry, prone to fine wrinkles.

Often, the skin texture is uneven and elasticity is reduced due to a lack of moisture within the skin.

Genesis treatment delivers thermal energy to a wide area deep within the skin,

thereby promoting collagen production in the dermis and helping to make the skin texture noticeably smoother.

⑤ Enlarged Pore Type: Skin concerned with acne scars or enlarged pores.

This type includes cases where elasticity around the pores is diminished or small scars remain.

Overall improvement in skin structure can be expected through thermal stimulation delivered deep into the skin.

*What are the distinguishing features of Dual Toning treatment?

Dual Toning treatment

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

1. Depth and distribution of pigmentation

2. Individual skin sensitivity and recovery ability

3. Additional skin conditions such as elasticity, redness, and pore size

By comprehensively reviewing these various factors,

every aspect, from the wavelength, power, and handpiece type of each laser to the number of shots, is meticulously planned.

A treatment plan tailored to each individual's condition is precisely

what we can highlight as a key differentiating factor of Dual Toning.

We recommend considering this treatment if you have these concerns

• This treatment may be suitable for those who feel that conventional toning treatments alone are not sufficient for improving pores or skin texture.
• It can also be considered by those who expect rapid changes in their skin condition with a small number of treatments.
• It can also be helpful for those who are concerned about dark melasma or overall hyperpigmentation.

Treatment Process

• STEP 01. Cleansing
• STEP 02. After confirming your skin condition through individual consultation, a treatment plan tailored to your needs will be designed and carried out.

Post-Treatment Precautions

• ㆍYou can wash your face and apply makeup from the day of the treatment. However, it is advisable to pay extra attention to sun protection.
• ㆍSince your skin may be temporarily irritated after the treatment, it is helpful to provide sufficient soothing and moisturizing care.
• ㆍTemporary swelling or redness may occur after the treatment. This usually improves naturally over time, but if symptoms persist for several days or cause discomfort, we recommend consulting a medical professional.

Characteristics of Melasma, Different from Blemishes

Melasma is a skin problem that shows different characteristics from common hyperpigmentation, which is simply caused by excessive melanin production accumulating in the skin.

It is characterized by pigment cells called melanocytes, located deep within the skin, reacting hypersensitively and becoming activated.

The melanin pigment produced by these activated melanocytes tends to spread over a wide area and frequently recurs.

Consequently, it can be seen as a complex skin condition where pigment penetrates into the dermis and can persist for a long time.

External factors such as UV exposure and hormonal changes often act as major triggers for melanocytes.

It is known that micro-inflammatory reactions and vascular-related factors within the skin complexly influence this process.

Melasma is characterized by pigment spreading over a wide area with blurred boundaries, rather than appearing as distinct spots.

Upon tissue examination, the number of melanocytes is often within the normal range.

However, the cells themselves are enlarged, and the dendritic structures, called dendrites, can be observed to be abnormally elongated.

These changes cause melanin pigment to be transferred more widely and excessively to other surrounding skin cells.

In some melasma patients, micro-capillary dilation or redness may also be observed in the pigmented areas.

This type of melasma is sometimes categorized and described as 'vascular melasma'.

Melasma is not merely a pigmented skin condition, but rather a complex state that can arise as the skin reacts sensitively to various stimuli.

It can be understood as a phenomenon that occurs due to various external stimuli when the skin barrier is weakened.

Therefore, rather than simply removing pigment, an integrated approach that identifies the root causes of melasma and improves the overall skin structure is important.

Dual toning can be effective for general pigmented conditions, but especially for melasma lesions, dual toning can be considered a more effective method than general toning.
