[For Pigmentation that Laser Toning Couldn't Fully Address] Alex Toning

What is Alex Toning?

Alex Toning is

a treatment that uses the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which has a high absorption rate in melanin,

a low-power pigment toning procedure.

Traditional laser toning primarily uses the 1064nm wavelength,

which causes relatively less irritation and is suitable for repeated treatments, but

it may require many sessions or

the improvement of superficial pigmentation may feel slow.

In contrast, Alex Toning

utilizes the 755nm wavelength, which has high melanin reactivity,

for concerns like dark spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin tone,

it more clearly targets pigments located closer to the skin surface.

It is especially recommended for those who have consistently received laser toning but

still have remaining pigmentation, or

whose skin tone still appears dull.

The advantage of Alex Toning is

that it re-targets pigments that were not sufficiently addressed by traditional laser toning

with the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength.

Additionally, during the procedure, fine facial hair is also tidied,

making the skin texture appear smoother, and

providing the added benefit of makeup applying better.

In short, Kkeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning is:

Pigment toning is the main focus,

and fine hair tidying is a bonus effect.

You can understand it this way.

The Difference of Kkeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning

Kkeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning

is not just a basic toning that passes the laser over the entire face once.

We assess the previous toning response, type of pigment, depth of pigment, skin tone, and even fine hair distribution,

and adjust the output and irradiation method to suit your skin condition.

Pigments that were insufficiently addressed by toning become clearer,

dull tones become brighter,

and fine hair is lightly tidied,

as we perform the treatment considering both skin tone and texture.

1. Re-addressing Pigments Insufficiently Treated by Traditional Laser Toning

Even after multiple laser toning sessions,

dark spots may remain faint or

your skin tone may still appear dull.

In such cases, rather than repeating the same wavelength,

it is crucial to customize the treatment based on the pigment's location and characteristics.

It may be necessary to approach with different wavelengths.

Alex Toning uses a 755nm wavelength, which has high melanin reactivity,

to address concerns that traditional 1064nm toning alone couldn't fully resolve,

targeting superficial pigmentation, blemishes, freckles, and hyperpigmentation once more.

2. Focused Melanin Targeting with 755nm Alexandrite Wavelength

Alex Toning's 755nm wavelength

has the characteristic of reacting well to melanin.

By precisely targeting pigments close to the skin's surface,

it helps to improve dull and uneven skin tone,

making it clearer and cleaner.

If your skin has a mix of melasma, blemishes, freckles, and hyperpigmentation,

rather than repeatedly undergoing only one type of toning,

choosing the right wavelength for your skin condition is crucial.

3. Smooth Skin Texture with Fine Hair Removal

Fine facial hair can

make makeup look patchy,

make skin tone appear dull,

and make skin texture look uneven.

During the process of targeting pigments, Alex Toning also

helps to tidy up fine facial hair on the skin's surface,

resulting in smoother-looking skin immediately after the procedure.

It's ideal before an important event,

when you want to improve not only blemishes and skin tone,

but also enhance makeup adherence.

4. Low-Output, Delicate Toning Tailored to Skin Tone and Pigmentation

Lasers that react well to melanin,

if applied too strongly without consideration,

can increase the risk of redness, stinging, and hyperpigmentation.

Kkeuthan Clinic assesses skin tone, pigment depth, sensitivity, and presence of redness,

then customizes the treatment for each client.

While targeting pigments more effectively,

we finely adjust the output, pulse speed, and number of pulses

in a way that minimizes skin irritation.

5. Combined Toning for Pigmentation, Tone, and Texture

The reason skin might look uneven or dull

isn't solely due to a single blemish.

Blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, dull tone, fine hair, and skin texture can combine,

making the overall appearance dark and rough.

While Alex Toning focuses primarily on pigmentation,

it also considers skin tone, fine hair, and skin texture.

Therefore, beyond general pigment removal,

we manage your skin to look cleaner and smoother overall.

Alextoning: The Benefits

Targets pigments more intensively that were not fully addressed by traditional laser toning

Intensive melanin management with 755nm Alexandrite wavelength

Improves blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin tone

Expected improvement in skin texture through fine facial hair refinement

Expected relief from makeup caking and improved makeup adherence

Delicate treatment tailored to your skin tone

Recommended for skin concerns involving both pigmentation and fine hair

Tone-up management that brightens the entire face uniformly

Suitable for refining skin texture before important events

Recommended for those who:

Have had laser toning multiple times but are unsatisfied with pigment improvement

Still have faint blemishes, freckles, or hyperpigmentation

Have dull skin tone that doesn't look clear

Are looking for a different type of pigment toning beyond traditional toning

Experience makeup caking or sliding due to fine facial hair

Want to manage pigmentation and fine facial hair simultaneously

Feel their bare skin looks messy

Find their foundation doesn't apply well and their skin texture appears rough

Want to refine their skin tone before a wedding, photoshoot, interview, or important event

Prefer immediate fine hair refinement and pigment toning over semi-permanent hair removal

We recommend combining with laser hair removal for fine hair if you:

Want to reduce facial fine hair long-term

Dislike fine hair growing back

Desire semi-permanent reduction of fine hair

Feel that fine hair is the biggest cause of makeup caking

Want to maintain the fine hair refinement effect of Alextoning for longer

While Alextoning can help refine fine facial hair immediately after the procedure,

it is not intended for semi-permanent hair removal.

Therefore, if you desire long-term reduction of fine hair,

we recommend receiving facial fine hair laser removal concurrently.

Procedure Steps

STEP 01. Cleansing

Makeup and impurities on the skin surface are thoroughly removed.

STEP 02. Mark-Vu Photography

Using a diagnostic device, we photograph skin tone, pigment distribution, and hidden pigment conditions.

STEP 03. Consultation with the Director

Based on the Mark-Vu imaging results, we check the skin's pigmentation status,

We determine the individual treatment plan.

STEP 04. Alex Toning Treatment

755nm Alexandrite laser

is applied according to your skin condition.

STEP 05. Going Home

After receiving post-treatment precautions and home care instructions, you may go home.

Post-Treatment Precautions

ㆍTemporary redness, heat sensation, and stinging may occur after the treatment.

ㆍOn the day of the treatment, please avoid saunas, jjimjilbangs (Korean bathhouses), strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption.

ㆍAs your skin may become dry, please apply plenty of moisturizer.

ㆍAfter pigmentation treatment, sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation, so please apply sunscreen thoroughly.

ㆍWhen going out, reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours.

ㆍEven if dead skin cells appear after the treatment, do not forcibly rub or scrub them.

ㆍIt is recommended to avoid irritating products such as retinol, peeling agents, and high-concentration Vitamin C for a few days.

ㆍAfter the treatment, fine hairs may temporarily appear tidier, but this is different from semi-permanent hair removal effects.

ㆍIf you desire semi-permanent reduction of fine facial hair, a separate facial vellus hair laser removal is recommended.

ㆍSkin with melasma may temporarily darken due to irritation.
