Laser Hair Removal at Kkeuthan Clinic

Kkeuthan Clinic Laser Hair Removal Procedure Guide

Hair removal plans tailored to individual characteristics lead to more satisfying results.

Occasionally, patients may not experience the desired changes after laser hair removal.

Since each person's skin and hair characteristics are different, the treatment approach must also be customized.

Laser hair removal utilizes the principle where melanin pigment inside the hair absorbs laser energy and generates heat.

Since individual hair density, thickness, and skin condition vary by area, a uniform energy setting may not achieve the desired improvement and could potentially lead to skin irritation.

*Kkeuthan Clinic Examines Carefully

We carefully assess hair volume, thickness, color, density, and individual skin tone to customize energy settings suitable for the treatment area and skin condition.

*Kkeuthan Clinic Plans Carefully

-Pulse Duration (Pulse Duration)

Generally, the thicker the hair, the longer the pulse duration is set.

Thick hair contains a lot of melanin pigment, so if treated with short pulses, energy can be absorbed suddenly, potentially causing epidermal damage. In contrast, using longer pulses allows thermal energy to be delivered more gently, which helps protect the epidermis.

-Energy Density (J/cm²)

For thicker hair, applying a higher energy density is appropriate. This is because high melanin content and thick hair structure require sufficient thermal energy delivery.

1. Thick and Dark Hair

→ Thick and dark hair is rich in melanin pigment and tends to absorb laser energy efficiently.

2. Fine or Light Hair

→ Fine and light hair has relatively less melanin pigment. Therefore, energy is adjusted or repeated treatments are performed to ensure sufficient heat is delivered to the hair follicles.

3. Areas with High Hair Density

→ To prevent overheating in such areas, treatment is performed by dispersing energy.

4. In Cases of Darker Skin Tone

→ Since melanin pigment is also present in the skin, laser output is carefully adjusted for safe treatment.

*Kkeuthan Clinic Records Treatment History

At Kkeuthan Clinic, as hair removal treatments progress, we continuously monitor hair condition, skin reaction, and changes in residual hair density for each area, delicately adjusting laser output intensity, wavelength, and cooling time.

Initially, we may start with a slightly stronger setting, then gradually switch to a gentler approach as residual hair decreases, or adjust the laser wavelength as needed. All treatment processes are flexibly applied, customized to each individual rather than following a standardized method.

Since skin condition changes with the number of treatment sessions, the hair removal method must also be continuously adjusted accordingly.

Precautions 'Before' Treatment

• ㆍIt is recommended to shave the hair in the treatment area beforehand.
• ㆍIf the hair is short, laser energy can be delivered more effectively to the hair follicles, improving treatment results.
• Especially for women, it is recommended to shave from 1 day before the treatment up to the day of the treatment.
• ㆍFor smooth and quick treatment, it is recommended to wear comfortable clothing that allows the treatment area to be exposed.
• For example, sleeveless clothing is convenient for arm or armpit treatments.
• For calf or thigh treatments, shorts or a skirt may be helpful.

───────────────

Precautions 'After' Treatment

• ㆍRedness, warmth, and mild pain may occur in the treated area, which usually subsides within 2-3 days. It is recommended to apply cooling care, such as an ice pack, on the day of the treatment.
• ㆍTo prevent folliculitis or itching and to soothe the skin, please apply a generous amount of moisturizing lotion to the treated area.
• Please be careful not to rub the treated area vigorously, and it is recommended to apply sunscreen thoroughly when going out.
• During hair removal treatment, please avoid plucking, waxing, or tanning.
• If hair remains long during the procedure, there is a possibility of heat-induced burns, so please shave the treatment area cleanly the day before your scheduled appointment.
• To optimize the effectiveness of hair removal, it is important to adhere to the treatment intervals. If the treatment cycle becomes too long, the effectiveness may decrease, so it is recommended to maintain the generally advised interval of 4-5 weeks.
