Step-by-step

  1. Consultation: Dr. Lee Da-in reviews your concerns (moles, age spots (seborrheic keratosis)), medical history, medications and past treatments.
  2. Treatment plan: areas (face, neck, back of hands), intensity or dose, and the expected course are explained.
  3. Preparation: cleansing, then anaesthesia — numbing cream.
  4. Treatment: performed with U-Pulse CO2 and picosecond laser, taking about 10–30 minutes.
  5. Calming and going home: soothing care if needed and aftercare instructions. Downtime: scabs for about 7–10 days, then pink marks for several weeks.

How it works

Moles and clearly defined spots are removed by targeting each lesion with laser. Moles are vaporised with CO2 laser, and pigmented spots are broken down with a picosecond laser.
