[For Pigmentation Laser Toning Missed] Alex Toning

What is Alex Toning?

Alex Toning is

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

a low-power pigment toning.

Conventional laser toning primarily uses the 1064nm wavelength,

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

but often requires many sessions

or may feel slow in improving superficial pigmentation.

In contrast, Alex Toning

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

like blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and dull tone,

more clearly targets pigments located close 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 appeared dull.

Advantages of Alex Toning

is that it targets those pigments that conventional laser toning found challenging,

once again with the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength.

Additionally, during the treatment, fine facial vellus hair is simultaneously refined,

making the skin texture appear smoother,

and offering the added benefit of makeup applying better.

In other words, Ggeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning is

pigment toning as the main focus,

and fine vellus hair refinement as a plus effect.

You can understand it this way.

Differentiating Factors of Ggeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning

Ggeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning

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

We check existing toning response, type and depth of pigment, skin tone, and even vellus hair distribution,

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

For pigments that toning fell short on, they become clearer;

for dull tones, they become brighter;

and vellus hair is gently refined,

with consideration for both skin tone and texture.

1. Targeting Pigments Unaddressed by Conventional Laser Toning, Once More

Even after multiple laser toning sessions,

blemishes may remain faintly visible

or the skin tone may still appear dull.

In such cases, rather than repeatedly using the same wavelength,

it's better to match the pigment's location and characteristics.

It may be necessary to approach with different wavelengths.

Alex Toning uses a 755nm wavelength with high melanin reactivity to

target what was lacking with conventional 1064nm toning alone,

surface pigmentation, blemishes, freckles, and hyperpigmentation once more.

2. Concentrated Melanin Targeting with 755nm Alexandrite Wavelength

The 755nm wavelength of Alex Toning

has the characteristic of reacting well to melanin.

By clearly targeting pigments near the skin's surface,

it helps to improve dull and messy-looking skin tone

to appear clearer and cleaner.

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

rather than simply repeating one type of toning treatment,

choosing the appropriate wavelength for your skin condition is crucial.

3. Smooth Skin Texture by Refining Fine Hairs

Fine facial hairs can

make makeup appear uneven,

make skin tone look dull,

and make skin texture appear messy.

During the process of targeting pigmentation, Alex Toning also

refines the fine hairs on the facial surface,

offering the benefit of smoother-looking skin immediately after the procedure.

It is ideal before an important event,

when you want to address not only blemishes and skin tone

but also improve makeup adhesion.

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

The more effectively a laser reacts to melanin,

the more likely that strong, indiscriminate irradiation can lead to

redness, stinging, and an increased risk of hyperpigmentation.

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

irradiates in a customized manner for each client.

While targeting pigments more effectively,

we precisely adjust output, irradiation speed, and number of passes

to minimize skin irritation.

5. Combined Toning Addressing Pigmentation, Tone, and Texture Together

The reason skin might appear messy

is not always due to just one blemish.

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

making the overall appearance dark and rough.

Alex Toning focuses on pigmentation but also

takes into account skin tone, fine hairs, and skin texture.

So, beyond general pigment removal,

we manage your entire skin to look clearer and smoother.

Prefer immediate fine hair tidying and pigment toning rather than semi-permanent hair removal

For these individuals, we recommend combining with fine hair laser hair removal:

Those who want to reduce facial vellus hair long-term

Those who dislike the regrowth of vellus hair

Those who desire semi-permanent reduction of vellus hair

Those who feel fine hair is the biggest cause of makeup caking

Those who want to maintain the fine hair tidying effect for longer after Alex Toning

While Alex Toning can help tidy fine vellus hair immediately after treatment,

it is not intended for semi-permanent hair removal.

If you desire long-term reduction of vellus hair,

we recommend combining it with facial vellus hair laser removal.

Post-Treatment Precautions

ㆍTemporary redness, warmth, and stinging may occur after the procedure.

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

ㆍSince your skin may become dry, please apply a sufficient amount 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 procedure, do not forcibly peel or scrub them.

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

ㆍAfter the procedure, fine vellus hair may temporarily appear refined, but this is different from a semi-permanent hair removal effect.

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

ㆍSkin with melasma may temporarily darken due to irritation.
