IPL for Freckles, Blemishes, Pigmentation

Of the many sorts of pigmentation that can appear on the skin, freckles are the type closer to the epidermis (surface of the skin) and caused by a number of reasons, including sun exposure, hormones, genetics, stress, and more. And here is where you might notice cultural differences; people from Western cultures are taught more to embrace their freckles and moles, since those are features that make you stand out and accentuate you as an individual. You know... love yourself, you look perfect the way you are... cliche expressions, but it's really embedded in everyone's minds and freckles don't seem to be much of a bother. In the Far East, on the other hand, freckles are definitely not common and are considered more of an imperfection that must be removed. We Asians want clear and translucent skin, free of anything that deviates from smooth and porcelain white. Hence, treatments for removing freckles are a lot more common.




IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a treatment that helps not only with freckles, but other types of epidermal pigmentation as well. This patient was skeptical that anything might help because she had had those freckles for quite a long time, and was pleasantly surprised to find that IPL could easily clear our her face.

Of course, IPL is not a perfect solution for all pigmentation; to treat the underlying melasma or other pigmentation, further laser treatments such as laser toning or Nd:YAG lasers would be required. Just know that somewhere out there, there is a dermatologist who can help you achieve clearer and brighter skin, and that solutions may not be as difficult as you think.

Mini-Liposuction Blog Post by Dr. Ko Na Young

Here is a blog post written by Hwagok branch head dermatologist Dr. Ko Na Young. The original post, written in Korean, can be read by clicking here . Ever since I was young, I was always concerned about the extra fat in my thighs. My calves were not so bad after I started to work out in my twenties. My thighs, on the other hand, would not budge no matter how hard I exercised. All of the clothes I bought had to fit my thighs more than any other area, and I couldn't wear pencil skirts because they would feel so uncomfortably tight, so I had to stick to flared skirts. Then, about 5-6 years ago, I extracted some fat from my thighs for a fat grafting procedure. Since then I have seen some size reduction that has been maintained until now. I didn't remove a tremendous amount of fat like traditional liposuction (over 2000 cc) - it was just about 150-200 cc from both thighs, but it was still very effective in reducing the size of my thighs. Areas such as the thighs and upper arms...
