Which treatment is right for pigmentation, pores, and acne?
From pigmentation concerns such as dark spots and freckles to enlarged pores, acne, and acne scars, skin concerns are often caused by more than one factor.
Even when the concern appears similar, the appropriate treatment can vary depending on the type and depth of pigmentation, skin condition, pore structure, and the cause of acne or acne scars.
Rather than simply choosing a popular treatment, it is important to first understand your current skin condition and main concerns, then select the treatment and energy that best suit your needs.
Different skin concerns
require different treatment approaches
Pigmentation · Dark Spots · Freckles
Pigmentation concerns such as dark spots and freckles can require different treatment approaches depending on the type, distribution, depth, and overall skin condition.
If pigmentation does not improve easily despite repeated laser treatments, it is important to first identify the type and current condition of the pigmentation.
PicoSure PRO uses picosecond laser energy and can be used for various pigmentation concerns. The appropriate treatment approach is determined based on the characteristics of the pigmentation and the individual's skin condition.
Redness · Red Acne Marks
Derma V is a laser treatment that can be used for vascular-related skin concerns. If redness or red acne marks are a concern, the skin condition is assessed first before determining the appropriate treatment approach.
Pores · Skin Texture
Visible pores can be associated with various factors, including sebum production, reduced skin elasticity, and structural changes around the pores.
Therefore, it is important to consider not only the appearance of the pores but also overall skin texture, elasticity, and sebum condition.
POTENZA delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy through microneedles and can be adjusted according to the skin condition, including the treatment tip, depth, and energy level.
Mosaic 3D is a fractional laser treatment that can be used to address uneven skin texture, pores, and acne scars depending on the individual's skin condition.
Acne · Acne Marks · Acne Scars
Repeated acne breakouts may leave red or brown acne marks, or result in depressed acne scars.
Because these concerns have different characteristics and causes, it is important to identify the type of mark or scar before choosing the appropriate treatment.
Depending on the skin condition, treatment options may include POTENZA, Mosaic 3D, and PicoSure PRO.

When multiple concerns are present, different treatments with complementary characteristics may be considered according to the skin condition.
However, more treatments do not necessarily mean better results. The treatment method and sequence should be determined by considering the current skin condition, priorities, and recovery process.
Before choosing a treatment,
consider the following
- What is your main skin concern?
- What type of pigmentation are you concerned about?
- Do you also have redness or red acne marks?
- Are pores or overall skin texture your main concern?
- Are you still experiencing recurring acne?
- Did acne leave red or brown marks?
- Do you have depressed acne scars?
- Have you previously received laser or other dermatological treatments?
- Is your skin easily irritated or sensitive?
