The CO2 laser at YAYOI CLINIC is used to remove raised benign lesions, such as moles and warts. The doctor will determine the appropriate treatment and procedure after assessing the patient’s skin condition, as well as the type and size of the lesion.

Q-switched Ruby Laser

Q

What kind of procedure is the Q-switched ruby laser used for?

A

The Q-switched ruby laser is a treatment that uses laser energy to target skin concerns related to melanin, such as age spots and birthmarks.

Q

What types of age spots is the Q-switched ruby laser suitable for?

A

The Q-switched ruby laser is used not only for superficial pigmented lesions such as age spots and freckles, but also for deep-seated pigmented lesions such as ADM and Ota’s nevus. Since indications vary depending on the type of lesion, a medical examination is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment.

Tri-beam Premium

Q

What kind of treatment is Tri-Beam Premium used for?

A

TriBeam Premium is a laser treatment that alternates between a toning mode—which targets dark spots, melasma, and dullness—and a long-pulse mode—which refines pores and improves skin texture. At YAYOI CLINIC, we select the appropriate treatment mode based on each patient’s specific skin concerns, such as dark spots, freckles, melasma, enlarged pores, and dullness.

Q

Can TriBeam Premium be used to treat melasma?

A

The TriBeam Premium is a laser that is also used to treat melasma. However, since melasma can worsen with stimulation, we assess the condition of the skin before determining the most appropriate treatment method.

Cerec V is an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including dark spots, freckles, dullness, redness, enlarged pores, acne, and skin firmness and texture. Different filters with varying wavelengths are selected based on the specific skin concern.

Q

Is Cerec V effective against age spots and freckles?

A

CEREC V uses light that reacts with melanin to address pigmentation concerns such as dark spots and freckles. Since the appropriate treatment varies depending on the type of pigmentation and skin condition, a consultation is required to determine the best course of action.
