[Even the pigmentation that was unsatisfactory with laser toning] Alex Toning

What is Alex Toning?

Alex Toning is

using a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength with high melanin absorption.

a low-fluence pigment toning treatment.

Traditional laser toning primarily uses a 1064nm wavelength,

which is relatively less irritating and suitable for repeated treatments,

but may require many sessions

or result in slower improvement of superficial pigmentation.

In contrast, Alex Toning

utilizes a 755nm wavelength with high melanin reactivity,

like blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and dull tone,

more clearly targeting pigmentation close to the skin's surface.

It is especially recommended for those who have consistently received laser toning but

still have residual pigmentation,

or whose skin tone still appeared dull.

The advantage of Alex Toning is

that it targets pigmentation that was insufficiently treated by traditional laser toning

with a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength.

Additionally, during the procedure, fine facial hair is also refined,

making the skin texture appear smoother,

and makeup applies better, which is an additional benefit.

In other words, Kkeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning is

primarily for pigment toning,

with fine hair removal as an added benefit.

This is how you can understand it.

What Makes Kkeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning Different

Kkeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning is not

just a basic toning treatment that passes the laser once over the entire face.

We assess previous toning reactions, pigment type, pigment depth, skin tone, and even fine hair distribution

to customize the output and irradiation method to your specific skin condition.

Pigmentation that was unsatisfactorily treated by toning is targeted more clearly,

dull tones are brightened,

and fine hairs are gently refined.

The treatment is performed considering both skin tone and texture.

1. Targeting Pigmentation Missed by Traditional 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, instead of repeatedly using the same wavelength,

we adjust to the location and characteristics of the pigmentation.

It may be necessary to approach with a different wavelength.

Alextoning uses a 755nm wavelength, which is highly reactive to melanin,

to address what was lacking with conventional 1064nm toning alone.

It targets superficial pigmentation, blemishes, freckles, and hyperpigmentation once more.

2. Focused Melanin Targeting with 755nm Alexandrite Wavelength

The 755nm wavelength of Alextoning

has the characteristic of reacting well to melanin.

By clearly targeting pigments close to the skin surface,

it helps to refine dull and messy-looking skin tone

making it clearer and cleaner.

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

rather than simply repeating one type of toning,

choosing the appropriate wavelength for your skin condition is important.

3. Smooth Skin Texture by Refining Fine Hairs

Fine facial hairs can

make makeup look patchy,

make skin tone appear dull,

and make skin texture look uneven.

During the process of targeting pigmentation, Alextoning

also helps to refine fine hairs on the face,

resulting in smoother-looking skin immediately after the procedure.

It's excellent before an important event,

when you want to improve not only blemishes and skin tone,

but also makeup adherence.

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

The more reactive a laser is to melanin,

the greater the risk of redness, stinging, and hyperpigmentation

if applied indiscriminately with high intensity.

kkeuthan Clinic assesses skin tone, pigment depth, sensitivity, and presence of redness before

customizing the treatment for each client.

While targeting pigmentation more effectively,

we finely adjust output, pulse speed, and number of pulses

in a way that minimizes skin irritation.

5. Combined Toning for Pigmentation, Tone, and Texture

The reason skin can look messy

is not solely due to a single blemish.

A combination of blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, dull tone, fine hairs, and skin texture can

make the overall appearance dark and rough.

While Alextoning primarily focuses on pigmentation,

it also considers skin tone, fine hairs, and skin texture.

So, beyond general pigmentation removal,

we manage your entire skin to look clearer and smoother.

Alextoning: Benefits

Targets pigmentation that was difficult to treat with conventional laser toning, with more focus

Intensive melanin care with 755nm Alexandrite wavelength

Improves blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and dull tone

Expect improved skin texture by tidying up facial vellus hair

Expect reduced makeup caking and improved makeup adherence

Delicate treatment tailored to your skin tone

Recommended for skin concerned with both pigmentation and vellus hair

Tone-up care that uniformly brightens the entire face

Suitable for refining skin texture before an important event

Recommended for those who:

Have received laser toning multiple times but are unsatisfied with pigmentation improvement

Still have lingering blemishes, freckles, or hyperpigmentation

Have dull skin tone that doesn't look clear

Are looking for a different type of pigmentation toning in addition to conventional toning

Experience makeup caking or sliding due to facial vellus hair

Want to manage pigmentation and vellus hair simultaneously

Feel their bare skin looks uneven

Find their foundation doesn't apply well and their skin texture looks rough

Want to refine their skin tone before a wedding, photoshoot, interview, or important event

Prefer same-day vellus hair tidying and pigmentation toning rather than semi-permanent hair removal

We recommend combining this treatment with vellus hair laser removal for those who:

Want to reduce facial vellus hair long-term

Dislike vellus hair growing back

Desire semi-permanent vellus hair reduction

Believe vellus hair is the biggest cause of makeup caking

Want to maintain the vellus hair tidying effect for longer after Alextoning

While Alextoning can help tidy vellus hair immediately after the treatment,

it is not a procedure for semi-permanent hair removal.

Therefore, if you desire long-term vellus hair reduction,

we recommend combining it with facial vellus hair laser removal.

Treatment Process

Thoroughly remove makeup and surface impurities.

STEP 02. Mark-Vu Photography

Using a diagnostic device, we photograph your skin tone, pigmentation distribution, and hidden pigmentation status.

STEP 03. Doctor's Consultation

Based on the Mark-Vu photo results, we check your skin's pigmentation status and

Determine the direction of treatment based on individual needs.

STEP 04. Alex Toning Treatment

755nm Alexandrite laser

is applied according to skin condition.

STEP 05. Going Home

Post-Treatment Precautions

ㆍTemporary redness, heat sensation, and stinging may occur after the procedure.

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

ㆍThe skin may become dry, so 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 rub or scrub them.

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

ㆍAfter the procedure, fine hairs may temporarily appear neat, but this is different from semi-permanent hair removal effects.

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

ㆍSkin with melasma may temporarily darken due to irritation.
