Hello, I'm interested in Skin Whitening at LAHYEON Plastic Surgery. Could you suggest a plan for me?
No booking until you confirm.
Why whitening often needs more than one laser
The same pigment problem can need a different treatment depending on skin type and thickness. The doctor first finds the cause of the pigment, then chooses the treatment.
Lahyeon uses VRM4, toning, Fraxel and IPL, alone or combined. Many cases need more than one. Besides tone, the combination can also support skin regeneration, collagen remodeling and firmness.
Melasma, blemishes and freckles through to age spots and nevus of Ota can be treated in one place. The lasers target melanin selectively to limit damage to surrounding tissue, and you can usually wash your face and wear makeup a short time after treatment.
VRM4: three lasers in one system
VRM4 combines laser toning, laser S-peel and laser white shot. Each pigment problem gets the laser that suits it.
Laser toning breaks down melanin deep in the skin while sparing surrounding tissue. Laser S-peel heats carbon applied to the skin, which reduces oil secretion and acne bacteria. Laser white shot uses a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser aimed only at the pigmented spot.
VRM4 is used for melasma, blemishes, freckles, acne and pores, age spots, café-au-lait spots, tattoo removal and nevus of Ota.
Which spots laser white shot treats
Epidermal (surface) lesions: blemishes, café-au-lait spots, seborrheic keratosis and age spots.
Dermal (deeper) pigment: nevus of Ota, acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (Hori's nevus) and Becker's nevus. It is also used for amateur, professional, traumatic and color tattoos.
Fraxel and IPL
Fraxel delivers heat into the dermis to remodel collagen. It is used for wrinkles, tone, pores and scars with limited damage to the skin surface.
I2PL uses strong light of mixed wavelengths that reaches different lesions in the skin, so freckles, blemishes, acne, redness and pores can be treated together.

Questions
How often do I need to come?
The usual plan is 5–10 sessions, 1–2 weeks apart. Your exact schedule depends on your pigment and is set at consultation.
Does Fraxel leave scabs?
The clinic describes its Fraxel as a heat-based treatment that keeps damage to the epidermis low and does not cause scabbing, and it also tightens sagging areas.
What works for melasma?
Laser toning, which breaks down deep melanin while sparing surrounding tissue. The recommended course combines a soft peel, laser toning and laser S-peel, once a week for 10 sessions, and fractional laser can be added.
Can I treat pores, freckles and blemishes at once?
Yes. I2PL sends light of several wavelengths to different lesions, so freckles, blemishes, acne, redness and pores can be treated together.
My skin looks rough because of acne. What helps?
The clinic recommends laser S-peel. It reduces oil secretion and acne bacteria, which addresses a cause of inflamed acne and helps keep it from coming back.
Results vary by person.
