Pigmentation & Hair Removal
Customized multi-wavelength laser protocols for melasma, freckles, solar lentigines, benign moles, tattoo clearance, and permanent medical hair reduction at ReYeonK Clinic.
Treatment Overview & Clinical Mechanism
ReYeonK Clinic's Pigmentation & Hair Removal specialty applies the principle of selective photothermolysis and photoacoustic shattering to clear epidermal and dermal melanin, vascular discoloration, benign skin lesions, unwanted tattoos, and coarse hair follicles without collateral thermal injury. Our multi-platform laser suite includes Laser Toning (1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG for deep dermal melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), Clarity Toning (dual 755 nm Long-Pulse Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG with ICD cryogen cooling), CO2 Laser (10,600 nm precision ablation for moles, seborrheic keratoses, milia, and syringomas), PicoSure picosecond laser (755 nm photoacoustic shattering for recalcitrant pigment and multicolor tattoos), and Synergy MPX medical laser hair removal.
Because Asian and multi-ethnic skin types carry a heightened risk of rebound hyperpigmentation if over-treated with aggressive fluences, Dr. Lee Doochan, Dr. Kim Hyunsu, and Dr. Choi Hyunho inspect pigment depth before every session—distinguishing superficial freckles and lentigines from mixed melasma or vascular-associated pigmentation.
Ideal Candidates & Target Concerns
- Diffuse dermal melasma, uneven skin tone, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Discrete epidermal freckles, solar lentigines (sun spots), and age spots treated with Clarity Toning
- Raised nevi (moles), flat warts, milia, and syringomas requiring CO2 Laser micro-ablation
- Stubborn dermal pigment or unwanted dark and colored tattoos targeted by PicoSure
- Unwanted facial, underarm, arm, leg, or bikini hair treated via Synergy MPX medical hair removal

Step-by-Step Procedure Process
- 1:1 Physician Pigment & Follicle Analysis: Differentiating epidermal vs. dermal melanin depth and vascular co-factors.
- Pre-Laser Cleansing & Analgesia: Removal of UV filters and application of topical anesthetic when performing spot ablation.
- Multi-Wavelength Laser Delivery: Calibrated delivery of Laser Toning, Clarity Toning, PicoSure, CO2 Laser, or Synergy MPX.
- Post-Laser Cooling & UV Protection: Immediate thermal soothing, vitamin C or regenerating ampoule infusion, and dressing application.
Post-Treatment Care & Clinical Safety Notice
- Strictly apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+, PA++++) every 3–4 hours outdoors to prevent UV-induced rebound pigmentation.
- Keep hydrocolloid dressings (DuoDERM) intact over CO2 Laser mole ablation sites for 7 to 10 days.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, or bleaching hair between Synergy MPX laser hair removal sessions; shave gently 24 hours prior.
Individual results vary depending on skin thickness, age, and tissue elasticity. Potential temporary side effects include localized erythema (redness), mild edema (swelling), tenderness, bruising, or transient sensory changes, which typically resolve within a few days to two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why combine Laser Toning with Clarity Toning or PicoSure?
Melasma often coexists with epidermal lentigines and background redness. Pairing gentle Laser Toning with Clarity Toning and PicoSure clears surface spots while stabilizing deep melanocytes.
Q. How is Synergy MPX hair removal different from standard salon IPL?
Synergy MPX combines dual medical laser wavelengths to target both fine pigmented hair and deeper follicular blood supply with integrated cooling. Contact our team via Contact Us.
