1. Clinic visit
A bride-to-be visited the clinic feeling that her facial tone looked dull due to blemishes and melasma, and that her skin lacked a bright, radiant appearance.

Unfortunately, these types of blemishes are difficult to remove with melasma or spot-correcting creams and cosmetic products alone.

2. Visual assessment
In addition to melasma and pigmentation, the face often shows a variety of skin conditions such as moles, flat warts, milia, sebaceous hyperplasia, and seborrheic keratoses.

Therefore, we carefully check what types of lesions are present and how extensively they are distributed on your face.
(This step is very important.)

This is because each condition requires a different treatment approach, treatment course, and response.

3. Mark-Vu assessment
Before treating pigmentation and blemishes, we objectively document the skin’s condition using imaging.

We also take the time to check what the areas that looked suspicious to the naked eye actually look like, and whether there is anything more hidden beneath the surface.

4. Final assessment
Through a visual examination and Mark-Vu imaging, we review the condition of the skin together. I then explain the treatment plan and direction I intend to take, as well as the expected number of treatment sessions—along with the reasoning behind them.

Since I’m not a god, there are naturally cases where the treatment response appears more slowly than initially expected. However, based on my experience observing responses to pigment laser treatments, I proceed with the procedure while explaining the plan using predicted responses and outcomes in about 90–95% of cases.

5. Pigment laser review
The process of lightening and removing pigmentation unexpectedly requires a great deal of patience.

The bride-to-be also visited the clinic consistently for nearly two to three months.

Before the procedure: 2024.06.04 – After the procedure: 2024.08.29

The results of each procedure may vary, so please have a thorough consultation beforehand regarding possible side effects (such as pigmentation, bruising, or swelling).

As a result, it has now become possible to go out bare-faced without needing to cover blemishes with foundation or BB cream.

[Even in cases with more significant pigmentation]

It takes a bit more time, but the pigmentation gradually fades and eventually disappears.

Treatment for pigment-related conditions such as freckles and nevi requires not only the right treatment approach and the experience of the practitioner, but also more patience and time than many people expect.

Thank you.
