What are Melanin and Melasma?
Melasma
- 'Melasma' usually refers to an irregular brown pigmentary disease on the faces of young women in their 20 to 30s, which usually worsens with exposure to strong sunlight.
- Causes of worsening melasma: Internal organ-related elements such as female hormones, UV rays, stress, genetic causes, endocrine disease, etc.
Freckles
- Freckles are caused by excessive pigmentation from melanin cells in the skin, usually common among teens.
- They can be also hereditary, are common among Caucasians, and tend to worsen with exposure to UV rays.
Causes of Acne
Hormones
Increased estrogen affects melasma and freckle development. For this reason, it is much more common to see melasma in women than in men. Furthermore, the probability of melasma or freckles developing increases when hormone changes occur because of thyroid issues or pregnancy.
Sun Exposure
Excess sun exposure can be a huge trigger factor in melasma and freckle development. Melasma and freckles are more noticeable during summer, but fade somewhat during winter. Ultraviolet rays in the sun stimulate the melanocytes to create more melanin.
Genetics
Melasma and freckles tend to develop due to genetic reasons. It is strongly recommended to limit other trigger factors if there is a strong family history of melasma or freckles.
Skin Inflammation
Skin inflammation, caused by cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels and laser treatments, can cause the development of melasma or freckles for some people.
Treatment Process
Consultation with the dermatologist.
Cleansing of the area.
Application of anesthesia cream.
Melanin laser treatment.
Cool down after treatment.
Final touches.
Laser TRM
Using a wavelength of 1927nm, the laser has high moisture absorbency and can react fast to a wider variety of skin tissue, which enables pigmentation, skin tone and skin texture improvements in a shorter period of time.
It also destroys blemish-creating melanocytes and contracts loose collagen fiber to help with pigmentation and skin texture improvement.

Principles of TRM Laser
-
TRM Laser can be used for various effects according to the depth of the wounds on the skin.
-
Furthermore, when part of the epidermis is damaged, the wound is treated with new cells developed from the base layer of the epidermis.
Advantages of TRM Laser
It has a fast regeneration and recovery time.
It can make the skin brighter and clearer with the regeneration of new skin tissue.
Various treatments are possible based on the thickness of the skin.
Why TRM Laser is more special than other lasers
-
It is a premium whitening laser that can improve skin pigmentation in a short period of time.
-
The length and depth of the wavelength is different from other lasers, so it is effective on different lesions of the epidermis and upper dermis.
-
Since it is effective on different lesions, it gives an excellent result in improving the overall facial tone.
Laser PICOHI
PicoHi laser selectively deliver thermal energy to desired tissues by irradiating skin cells or tissues, raising the tissue temperature.
The generated thermal energy leads to tissue incision, destruction, and removal.

Painless and non-invasive treatment which takes about 15 to 20 minutes, causing only a gentle warming sensation.
Safe and effective laser on all skin types and all body parts (except for the eyes and surrounding area), which does not cause discoloration when used on the wrong skin type.
Relief from severe redness, such as rosacea
Process of PICOH
PICOHI effectively breaks down pigments into smaller and more uniform particles compared to other nanosecond lasers, facilitating their dispersion and removal

Safe and effective laser on all skin types and all body parts (except for the eyes and surrounding area), which does not cause discoloration when used on the wrong skin type.
Relief from severe redness, such as rosacea
Process of Genesis
-
Thousands of micro-pulses of light are delivered to the dermis.
-
These micro-pulses heat up the dermis, inducing blood vessels to shrink, and breaking down scar tissues and melanin.
Laser Clarity
The Clarity laser is a dual-wavelength device that offers a variety of treatments for aesthetic purposes. This laser is highly effective for hair removal, pigmented lesions caused by sun damage, aging, or simply genetics. It gently breaks up the lesions, blemishes, and follicles without damaging the surrounding tissues.
