What is Alextoning?

Alextoning is

a treatment that uses the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which has a high absorption rate in melanin,

a low-energy pigment toning.

Traditional laser toning primarily uses the 1064nm wavelength,

which causes relatively less irritation and is suitable for repeated treatments,

but it may require many sessions

or improvement in superficial pigmentation may feel slow.

In contrast, Alextoning

utilizes the 755nm wavelength, which has high melanin reactivity,

like sunspots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and dull tones,

it more clearly targets pigments located closer to the skin's surface.

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

still have remaining pigmentation,

or whose skin tone still appears dull.

Benefits of Alextoning

It targets those stubborn pigments that weren't adequately addressed by traditional laser toning

once again with the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength.

Additionally, during the procedure, fine facial vellus hair is also tidied up,

making the skin texture appear smoother,

and makeup applies better as an additional benefit.

In short, Kkeuthan Clinic's Alextoning is

primarily for pigment toning,

with fine vellus hair removal as an added bonus.

You can understand it this way.

Kkeuthan Clinic's Alextoning: What makes it special?

Kkeuthan Clinic's Alextoning

is not just a basic toning that passes the laser over the entire face once.

We check your previous toning response, type of pigment, depth of pigment, skin tone, and even vellus hair distribution,

and adjust the output and irradiation method to suit your specific skin condition.

Pigments that were not sufficiently improved with previous toning are targeted more clearly,

dull tones become brighter,

and fine vellus hairs are gently tidied,

with consideration for both skin tone and texture during the treatment.

1. Targeting insufficient pigmentation from traditional laser toning once more

Even after multiple laser toning sessions,

sunspots may remain faintly,

or the skin tone may still appear dull.

In such cases, rather than repeating the same wavelength,

we customize the treatment according to the location and characteristics of the pigment.

It may be necessary to approach with a different wavelength.

Alex Toning uses a 755nm wavelength, which has high melanin reactivity,

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

targeting superficial pigmentation, blemishes, freckles, and hyperpigmentation once more.

2. Focused Melanin Targeting with 755nm Alexandrite Wavelength

Alex Toning's 755nm wavelength

has the characteristic of reacting well to melanin.

It clearly targets pigments close to the skin surface,

helping to refine dull and cluttered-looking skin tones

to be clearer and cleaner.

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

rather than repeatedly using just one type of toning,

choosing the right wavelength for your skin condition is crucial.

3. Smooth Skin Texture by Refining Fine Hairs

Fine facial hairs can

make makeup look cakey,

make skin tone appear dull,

and make skin texture look uneven.

During the process of targeting pigments with Alex Toning,

fine hairs on the facial surface are also refined,

resulting in the advantage of smoother-looking skin immediately after treatment.

Before an important event,

when you want to refine not only blemishes and skin tone

but also makeup adherence.

4. Low-Power Delicate Toning Customized for Skin Tone and Pigmentation Status

The more reactive a laser is to melanin,

the greater the risk of redness, stinging, and hyperpigmentation

if irradiated too strongly without discretion.

Kkeutan Clinic determines skin tone, pigment depth, sensitivity, and presence of redness, then

customizes the irradiation for each client.

While targeting pigments more effectively,

we precisely adjust the output, irradiation speed, and number of passes

to minimize skin irritation.

5. Combined Toning Addressing Pigmentation, Tone, and Texture

The reason skin might look cluttered

is not necessarily due to a single blemish.

Blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, dull tone, fine hairs, and skin texture can combine

to make the overall appearance dark and rough.

Alex Toning focuses on pigmentation but also

considers skin tone, fine hairs, and skin texture.

Therefore, beyond general pigment removal,

we manage your entire skin to look clearer and smoother.

Benefits of Alex Toning

Targets pigments that were not fully addressed by traditional laser toning with more focus

Intensive melanin management with 755nm Alexandrite wavelength

Improves blemishes, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and dull tone

Expects improved skin texture by tidying facial vellus hair

Expects reduced makeup caking and improved makeup adherence

Delicate treatment tailored to your skin tone

Recommended for skin concerns involving both pigmentation and fine hair

Tone-up management that evenly brightens the entire face

Suitable for skin texture refinement before important events

Recommended For

Those who have received laser toning multiple times but are unsatisfied with pigment improvement

Those with persistent faint blemishes, freckles, or hyperpigmentation

Those with dull skin tone that doesn't look clear

Those looking for pigment toning other than traditional toning

Those whose makeup cakes or smears due to facial vellus hair

Those who want to manage both pigmentation and vellus hair at once

Those whose bare skin looks messy

Those whose foundation doesn't apply well and whose skin texture looks rough

Those who want to refine their skin tone before a wedding, photoshoot, interview, or important event

Those who prefer same-day vellus hair tidying and pigment toning rather than semi-permanent hair removal

For these individuals, we recommend combining with Vellus Hair Laser Hair Removal

Those who want to reduce facial vellus hair long-term

Those who dislike vellus hair growing back

Those who desire semi-permanent vellus hair reduction

Those who feel that fine hair is the biggest cause of makeup caking

Those who want to maintain the vellus hair tidying effect of Alex Toning for longer

While Alex Toning can help tidy vellus hair immediately after the procedure,

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

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

we recommend receiving facial vellus hair laser hair removal concurrently.

A Sincere Message from the Director

"If you've received pigmentation treatment for a long time but your skin still looks dull, instead of repeating the same wavelength, a flexible approach is needed to change the wavelength according to the nature of the pigmentation."

In our clinic, we often meet patients who have consistently received traditional laser toning dozens of times, yet their superficial blemishes or freckles remain, and their complexion still looks dull. This is often because pigmentation scattered close to the skin's surface is difficult to treat effectively with only the 1064nm wavelength, which targets deeper layers.

Kkeuthan Clinic's Alex Toning uses a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which has excellent reactivity to melanin, to more clearly target superficial pigmentation that traditional toning may have missed. Through precise Mark-Vu diagnosis, we carefully assess skin sensitivity and the presence of melasma, then meticulously apply the laser with low, non-irritating output. It also tidies up fine facial hairs, resulting in a smooth skin texture immediately after treatment. We are dedicated to helping you achieve clearer skin by erasing blemishes and enhancing skin texture, without superficial treatments.

Post-Treatment Precautions

Temporary redness, warmth, and stinging may occur after treatment.

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

Your skin may become dry, so please apply plenty of moisturizer.

Sun exposure after pigmentation treatment can cause hyperpigmentation, so please apply sunscreen thoroughly.

When going out, reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours.

Even if dead skin cells appear after treatment, do not forcibly rub or scrub them.

It is advisable to avoid irritating products such as retinol, peeling agents, and high-concentration Vitamin C for several days.

After treatment, fine facial hairs may appear temporarily tidied, but this is not the same as semi-permanent hair removal.

If you desire semi-permanent reduction of fine facial hair, we recommend separate facial vellus hair laser removal.

Skin with melasma may temporarily darken due to irritation.

Q&A

Q. What is the difference between traditional 1064nm laser toning and Alex Toning?

A. While the 1064nm wavelength used in traditional laser toning is suitable for reaching the dermis to manage deep pigmentation and overall skin tone, Alex Toning's 755nm Alexandrite wavelength has a much higher absorption rate for melanin, allowing it to more clearly target and remove blemishes, freckles, and light hyperpigmentation located close to the skin's surface.

Q. It's said that fine hairs are tidied, but does this provide permanent hair removal?

A. Alex Toning is a low-output toning treatment primarily focused on pigmentation. While the process of reacting with melanin lightly tidies up fine facial hairs, resulting in smoother skin texture and better makeup application as an added benefit, it is not the same as semi-permanent hair removal that completely destroys hair follicles. If you desire permanent reduction of fine facial hair, we recommend combining it with separate facial vellus hair laser removal.

Q. If melanin reactivity is high, doesn't it cause more skin irritation?

A. With wavelengths that have a strong melanin reaction, performing the treatment with indiscriminately high output can cause redness or irritation. At Kkeuthan Clinic, prior to treatment, we confirm skin tone, pigmentation depth, sensitivity, and the presence of redness or melasma through Mark-Vu diagnosis. We then adjust the output and speed using a delicate, low-output irradiation method that minimizes skin irritation, ensuring you can receive treatment safely.

Q. Is this a suitable treatment to receive before an important event?

A. Yes, it is very suitable. Not only does it brighten superficial pigmentation and dull skin tone, but it also tidies up fine facial hairs that can make makeup look uneven. Therefore, it is a popular treatment for improving foundation adherence and achieving smooth skin texture before important events such as weddings, photoshoots, or interviews.
