Hello.
I am Dr. Hyeok-chan Jo, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
You may have experienced the sensation of your cheeks flushing as soon as you enter a warm room.
Perhaps you have noticed that by the afternoon, the red tone shows through the makeup you carefully applied in the morning,
and you find yourself touching your cheeks with the back of your hand every time you look in the mirror.
This redness is not a color sitting on the surface, but rather the appearance of blood vessels passing under the skin.
This is why approaches that focus on removing surface layers, like those for pigmentation, do not reach the root cause.
Even with the same amount of blood flow, if the skin layer is thin or the blood vessels are dilated, the red tone is more visible.
Furthermore, areas that have been exposed to temperature changes and UV rays for a long time tend to have difficulty narrowing back to their original state.
Today, I will explain what Uijeongbu redness laser treatment is, why light is concentrated only on the blood vessels,
and what its strengths are, as well as points you should be aware of in advance.
What is Uijeongbu redness laser treatment?
👉 Uijeongbu redness laser treatment is a procedure that uses the property of oxidized hemoglobin in the blood to selectively absorb light of a specific wavelength, delivering light so that heat is concentrated on the dilated blood vessels.
Light entering the skin is not absorbed equally everywhere.
Each tissue has a specific wavelength range that it absorbs well, which is called an absorption peak.
Oxidized hemoglobin, which makes blood appear red, has several absorption peaks in the visible light spectrum,
one of which is near 532 nanometers, in the green light range.
Derma V, operated at Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch,
is a device that uses both this 532-nanometer wavelength and a 1064-nanometer wavelength.
The short wavelength is easily absorbed by fine blood vessels near the surface, while the long wavelength is less absorbed but reaches deeper into the skin, making it suitable for treating thick blood vessels in deeper areas.
This is why two different wavelengths are used.
The 1064-nanometer range is also a section where melanin in the epidermis absorbs relatively less.
Therefore, even if the same light enters the entire skin, absorption is concentrated where the blood flows,
and surrounding tissues are relatively less affected.
This method of concentrating heat only on the target component is called selective photothermolysis,
and it is the principle shared by vascular lasers.
At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch, we always distinguish during the consultation whether the redness is constant, only appears when irritated,
and whether there are specific visible blood vessels that look like lines.
This is because the approach differs depending on whether the redness is a spread-out area or a prominent single line.
Strengths of redness laser
👉 This laser identifies target components by wavelength.
The pulse duration is set according to the thickness of the blood vessel, and a surface cooling device also operates simultaneously.
First, the wavelength itself identifies the target.
Derma V is equipped with both 532 nanometers and 1064 nanometers, allowing us to distinguish between fine blood vessels near the surface and thick blood vessels in deeper areas.
It is not a method of raising heat broadly and waiting for a reaction,
but a structure where light turns into heat only in areas containing components that absorb that wavelength well.
Because it uses the range where oxidized hemoglobin has absorption peaks, absorption occurs where blood flows,while the surrounding epidermis or collagen fibers receive relatively less of the same light.
The basis for reducing the burden on surrounding tissues while addressing red tones
lies in this choice to target hemoglobin rather than pigment or moisture.
Second, the pulse duration is set according to the blood vessel thickness.
Pouring the same energy in a very short time versus delivering it in a slightly longer, divided manner has different characteristics.
Heat does not stay where it is created but escapes to the surroundings,
and the thicker the structure, the longer it takes for heat to escape,
while thinner structures cool down faster.
Therefore, the pulse duration must be set differently when treating thick blood vessels versus thinly spread blood vessels.
This is why we do not fix the settings to one type but adjust them after assessing the condition.Third, a surface cooling device operates simultaneously.
Since the epidermis, which is the passage for light, is not entirely free from heat,
vascular devices are equipped with a cooling system that cools the surface immediately before and after the light is emitted.
If the epidermal temperature is lowered first, we can deliver the necessary amount of light to the target below while reducing the heat burden on the surface,
and the irritation felt during the procedure is also alleviated.
It is accurate to understand it as a structure where the principle and the device work as a pair.
Operating principle of redness laser
👉 It begins when light is absorbed and converted into heat.
Then, the blood vessel wall changes, and the body clears the area in sequence.The start is absorption.
When the light entering the skin reaches the oxidized hemoglobin filling the blood vessels,
the light energy is converted into heat at that point.
Because the structure raises the temperature locally only where the target component exists,
it is different in nature from methods that spread heat across the entire face.
Next is the change in the blood vessel wall.
When the heat generated within the blood is transferred to the blood vessel wall, changes occur in the protein structure forming the wall,
and it is known that the dilated blood vessels change to a state where they can no longer maintain their original function.
The adjustment of the pulse duration mentioned earlier ensures that the heat reaches the wall but does not spread widely to the surrounding tissues.
The last step is the body's clearing process.
The altered blood vessels do not disappear immediately on the spot,
but go through a process where cells responsible for cleaning the body clear them over time.
This is why the changes are not completed on the day of the procedure but appear over the following period.
Also, because blood vessels vary in width and depth, the range covered in one session is limited,
so we recommend a management plan that accumulates sessions while monitoring the condition.
Devices and programs used
👉 The redness laser at Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch is performed with the Derma V device,
and we operate a 'Redness Mode' for red tones and a 'Perfect Toning Mode' for even skin tone, depending on the condition.
Derma V is a dual-purpose device for blood vessels and pigmentation, equipped with both 532 nanometers and 1064 nanometers.
The short wavelength is advantageous for fine blood vessels near the surface, and the long wavelength for thick blood vessels in deep areas, allowing us to change the target area within one device.
The method of delivering light in divided pulse durations and the operation of a surface cooling device are also included in this device's configuration.
Even with the same Derma V, the target area changes depending on which wavelength is mainly used
and how the pulse duration is set.
The reason we follow up with cryo-soothing care or regenerative LED
is to keep the surface comfortable immediately after the procedure,
and the specific configuration is decided after checking your condition during the consultation.
If you have these types of redness
Those whose cheeks and neck turn red first when nervous or embarrassed
Those who feel that a red tone shows through from underneath even when covered with makeup
Those concerned about visible blood vessels that look like lines on the side of the nose or cheeks
Those who flush easily when the temperature changes and do not subside for a long time
Those who tend to have redness from acne marks that lasts for a long time
Types of Uijeongbu vascular lasers
👉 The approach to vascular lasers is divided based on whether you are treating a spread-out area of redness or specific prominent blood vessel sites.
The items currently operated at Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch are summarized below based on the target area.
Which direction is appropriate depends on the width and depth of the blood vessels, skin thickness,
and sensitivity to irritation, so we determine the direction after checking your condition during the consultation.
Side effects and points to note in advance
👉 It is reported that most points to note are temporary reactions that subside over time.
Purpura may or may not appear depending on the settings and condition.
If you have an important schedule coming up, please let us know in advance so we can adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
⚠️ Precautions before and after the procedure
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How is it different from a pigment laser?
A. The target components are different.
Pigment-related lasers use wavelengths that melanin absorbs well,
while vascular-related lasers use ranges where oxidized hemoglobin has absorption peaks.
Even with the same light, the target area differs depending on which component absorbs it.
Q. Do you treat constant redness and occasional redness differently?
A. Yes, we treat them differently.
If it is always red, we look at factors related to dilated blood vessels; if it turns red depending on the situation, we look at the sensitivity to irritation and adjust the approach accordingly.
Q. Doesn't the heat rise across the entire face when receiving the procedure?
A. Because the structure is designed for light to turn into heat only where components that absorb the wavelength well exist,
it is different in nature from methods that raise heat across the entire surface.
In addition, a surface cooling device works simultaneously to reduce the burden on the epidermis.
Q. Do bruise-like marks appear after the procedure?
A. Purpura may or may not appear depending on the settings and condition.
If you have an important schedule coming up, please let us know in advance so we can adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Q. Why do you divide the treatment into sessions?
A. Blood vessels vary in width and depth, so the range covered in one session is limited,
and the body also needs time to clear the altered blood vessels.
Therefore, we recommend a management plan that accumulates sessions while monitoring the condition.
Q. Can I receive redness laser treatment if I also have acne?
A. In periods when inflammation is active, we sometimes adjust the order.
We may prioritize acne laser or soothing care, so we will check your condition together during the consultation.
Uijeongbu redness laser is a treatment designed so that light turns into heat only on the blood vessel side, based on the single property that oxidized hemoglobin in the blood absorbs specific wavelengths well.
It is structured to use a cooling device that cools the surface while setting the pulse duration according to the blood vessel thickness,
so it is operated in a way that reduces the burden on surrounding tissues while addressing red tones.
Even for the same redness, the width and depth of blood vessels, skin thickness,
and sensitivity to irritation all differ, so the settings are not fixed to one.
At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch, we check these parts directly during the consultation.
We also operate other items that look at redness from different angles, such as Derma V Perfect Toning or vascular removal,
as well as items that look at sensitive conditions together, such as Genesis and soothing care, so you can receive them in a divided order.
If you have felt that a red tone shows through even when covered with makeup,
