[Powerful Hair Removal Care] Apogee Elite Plus Men's Laser Hair Removal

Personalized Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatment provided by Kkeuthan Clinic.

Hair removal planned with individual characteristics in mind helps achieve more satisfactory results.

Some people do not see the expected changes despite multiple laser hair removal treatments. What could be the reason?

Since each individual's skin and hair conditions vary, not all treatments can be performed identically.

Laser hair removal works by reacting to the melanin pigment in the hair, generating heat.

However, because hair and skin characteristics differ among individuals and body areas, using the same energy can result in insufficient treatment efficacy or increased skin irritation.

*We analyze individual characteristics

We precisely identify the amount, thickness, color, and density of hair, as well as skin tone, to apply energy settings tailored to each individual's skin condition and requirements for specific areas.

───────────────

*We design customized treatments

-Pulse Duration (Pulse Duration)

Generally, a longer pulse duration tends to be applied to thicker hair.

Applying a short pulse to thick hair rich in melanin pigment can cause rapid energy absorption, potentially damaging the epidermis. Therefore, utilizing a long pulse to allow heat to be delivered gently can help protect the skin surface.

-Energy Density (j/cm²)

For thick hair with a high melanin content and thick hair structure, a higher energy density is required for efficient heat accumulation.

1. Thick, dark hair

→ Thick, dark-colored hair has a high melanin content, allowing it to effectively absorb laser energy.

2. Fine, light hair

→ Fine or light-colored hair has a low melanin content. In such cases, energy is adjusted or repeated treatments are performed to help heat efficiently reach the hair follicle.

3. Areas with dense hair

→ For areas with dense hair, treatment methods are adjusted to prevent excessive heat generation.

4. In cases of darker skin tone

→ Since melanin is also present in darker skin tones, laser output settings are delicately adjusted to reduce the possibility of side effects during treatment.

*We record and apply the progress

As each treatment session progresses, we meticulously assess the hair condition, skin reaction, and remaining hair density for each area, and delicately adjust the laser's output intensity, wavelength, and cooling time.

For example, we create flexible treatment plans such as adjusting the intensity in the first session, gently focusing on remaining hair in the third session, and changing the wavelength depending on the situation. It is rare to find hair removal that proceeds in the exact same way every time.

Treatment methods also need to be appropriately adjusted in accordance with changes in the skin.

*Individualized Custom Hair Removal Treatment Process

1. Laser settings considering characteristics of each area

2. Immediate adjustments based on skin reaction

3. Review of previous treatment records and observation of progress

4. Establishing goals for each treatment session and proposing a customized process

5. Hair removal plan considering skin tone, pore condition, skin texture, and more

This is a treatment process that goes beyond simply removing hair, understanding skin condition and inducing positive changes.

It is recommended to receive a detailed consultation regarding this customized hair removal process.

Are there differences in treatment and effects compared to GentleMax?

When using hair removal equipment with insufficient cooling function,

high output and short pulse settings can increase the risk of skin burns.

This is due to the following reasons:

A short pulse delivers the same energy more intensely and quickly, inducing momentary concentrated heat generation, which can rapidly raise epidermal temperature.

If the cooling function is insufficient, it may be difficult to control such heat immediately.

Therefore, when performing treatment with higher output, the pulse duration must be increased.

It can be said to be safer when heat is delivered gradually, so the epidermis feels less burdened.

Consequently, if sufficient cooling is provided,

thick and deep hairs can also be effectively managed using strong output and short pulses.

The gas cooling method of GentleMax equipment is known to have

a superior cooling effect compared to typical air cooling methods.

However, for typical hair removal output settings, non-contact Apogee Cryo cooling alone can

provide sufficient cooling effect.

Advantages of the Procedure

• 01. It is hygienic with a non-contact air-strike method that does not directly touch the skin.
• 02. High cooling effect minimizes discomfort and pain during the procedure.
• 03. Treatment energy can be adjusted to match the individual's hair thickness.
• 04. It can help improve skin texture by neatly removing unwanted hair.

───────────────

Recommended for

• 01. Recommended for those experiencing discomfort due to excessive hair growth.
• 02. Suitable for those who prefer a hair removal method with less pain.
• 03. Ideal for those who do not want to spend time on troublesome hair management.
• 04. Can be considered for those expecting more long-term hair removal effects.

Procedure Steps (Face Area)

• 1. Conduct a 1:1 customized consultation with a medical professional, and perform Mark-Vu imaging if necessary.
• 2. After designing the treatment area, the medical professional directly performs the procedure.
• 3. After completing all scheduled treatment sessions, Mark-Vu is re-imaged to confirm changes.
• 4. We thoroughly review the treatment results with the patient by comparing before and after images.

───────────────

Procedure Steps (Other Areas)

• 1. Understand the patient's condition through individual consultation.
• 2. A skilled medical professional performs the procedure using authentic equipment.
• 3. After the procedure, thoroughly check the condition of the treated area with the patient.

Precautions Before Treatment

ㆍIt is necessary to shave the planned treatment area in advance.

The shorter the hair length in the treatment area, the better results you can expect.

For men, we recommend shaving just before the treatment.

To ensure the treatment proceeds smoothly, it's best to wear clothing that allows easy exposure of the treatment area.

For example, wearing sleeveless clothing may be convenient for arm or underarm treatments.
