Pigmentation & Brightening Lasers

Multi-Wavelength Pigment & Vascular Laser Center in Apgujeong

Successful treatment of complex Asian and international skin pigmentation requires distinguishing between epidermal lentigines, mixed dermal melasma, Ota-like macules, and underlying vascular hyper-reactivity. At Jenny Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul (Exit 5, 2F Building A, Keukdong Tower, 152 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu), our Pigmentation & Brightening Lasers Center is led by Director Dr. JayU Choi (M.S. in Dermatology, Regular Member of the Korean Dermatological Association & Korean Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery) alongside Representative Director Dr. Minjung Cho and Director Dr. Bohyun Sung.

Why do many melasma patches rebound after aggressive laser toning? When excessive thermal energy irritates fragile dermal blood vessels and basement membranes, melanocytes become hyper-stimulated. Our physicians pair 755nm picosecond photomechanical pigment shattering with dual-wavelength vascular stabilization and barrier repair(Rejuran Healer & Skinvive Bio-Revitalization) inside private single-occupancy suites.

Core Laser Platforms & Wavelength Systems

1. Cynosure PicoSure (755nm Alexandrite Picosecond Laser with Focus Lens Array)

Featured in our flagship PicoSure, RevLite & Synergy MPX Pigmentation Care program, Cynosure PicoSure operates at the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which exhibits three times higher melanin-to-hemoglobin selectivity than 1064nm lasers:

• PressureWave Photomechanical Effect: Ultra-short picosecond pulses shatter stubborn melanin granules into dust-like microparticles cleared naturally by macrophages, avoiding collateral thermal injury and minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
• Focus Lens Array (FLA): Redistributes 70% of the pulse energy into high-fluence microscopic zones, inducing Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) within the epidermis to stimulate new dermal collagen and elastin while simultaneously clearing melasma, solar lentigines, freckles, and dermal nevus/Ota-like macules.

2. Synergy Multiplex (585nm Pulsed Dye + 1064nm Nd:YAG Vascular Laser)

Chronic melasma and post-acne marks are frequently sustained by underlying telangiectasia and VEGF-driven microvascular inflammation. Synergy Multiplex (MPX) sequentially emits 585nm Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) and 1064nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG pulses within milliseconds:

• The 585nm pulse converts oxyhemoglobin into methemoglobin, increasing absorption of the subsequent 1064nm pulse by up to 300–500%.
• Effectively clears facial flushing, erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, red post-acne erythema (PIE), and the vascular component of refractory melasma.

3. Clarity II (755nm/1064nm IntelliTrak), RevLite & Precision CO2 Laser

• Clarity II & Nobleen / RevLite Toning: High-powered dual-wavelength 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG platforms with real-time temperature sensing and cryogen cooling for discrete epidermal spots, dull skin tone, and full-face brightening.
• Precision CO2 Laser (10,600nm): Pinpoint micro-ablative removal of raised epidermal lesions including melanocytic nevi (moles), milia, flat warts (verruca plana), syringomas, and seborrheic keratosis with meticulous depth control to minimize scarring.

Evidence-Based Standards & Physician Consultation

Peer-reviewed laser dermatology research indexed on PubMed / National Library of Medicine and pigmentary disorder guidelines from the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) highlight the clinical superiority of 755nm picosecond lasers with diffractive lens arrays and combined vascular-pigment protocols for safe, long-term melasma control.

Clinical Safety & Individual Response Disclaimer: All laser pigmentation and vascular treatments at Jenny Clinic are customized after a 1:1 medical consultation with Director Dr. JayU Choi, Representative Director Dr. Minjung Cho, or Director Dr. Bohyun Sung. Treatment outcomes and required session counts vary by pigment depth and skin phototype. Temporary redness, mild swelling, transient darkening of treated spots, micro-crusting, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation/hypopigmentation may occur; diligent broad-spectrum sunscreen application is essential following treatment.
