Definition

Even when brown spots look alike,
their causes and depths may differ.

Melasma, freckles, dark spots, solar lentigines, and age spots are all forms of pigmentation,
but their causes, depth within the skin, thickness, and appearance can vary.
Melasma may involve a combination of hormonal changes, UV exposure, and skin irritation,
while freckles and dark spots may develop due to genetics, repeated sun exposure, or inflammation.

Moles, solar lentigines, and seborrheic keratoses can also be difficult to distinguish by appearance alone.
Treatment may take longer once a lesion becomes thicker or darker.

Trinity Dermatology Clinic evaluates the type and distribution of pigmentation, skin type,
and sensitivity to develop an individualized plan that is not limited to a single treatment approach.

Cases

The treatment approach varies
by type of pigmentation.

At Trinity, treatments are carefully combined
according to your skin and the characteristics of each lesion.

Symmetrical, poorly defined brown patches appear on both cheeks and the forehead
Small, distinct tan spots repeatedly appear around the cheekbones and nose
Brown marks remain for an extended period after acne, dermatitis, or skin injury
Moles, solar lentigines, or age spots become darker or develop a thicker surface

Pigment Types

Common Types of Pigmentation

Effective assessment considers not only visible color and shape,
but also the underlying cause and depth within the skin.

TYPE 01 Melasma

Often appears symmetrically on the cheeks, forehead, and under-eye area and may be influenced by UV exposure, hormones, and skin irritation.

TYPE 02 Freckles & Dark Spots

Small, distinct tan spots or pigmentation left after inflammation or irritation. The depth may vary from one lesion to another.

TYPE 03 Solar Lentigines

Well-defined brown spots associated with UV exposure and aging that may increase in number and size over time.

TYPE 04 Moles & Seborrheic Keratoses

Related to the growth of melanocytes or epidermal cells. The removal method and recovery process vary according to thickness and appearance.

Diagnostic Precision

Treatment based on accurate identification
and proper sequencing
helps minimize unnecessary irritation.

Melasma, dark spots, solar lentigines, and age spots may look similar even at close range,
but they occur at different depths and respond to different forms of energy.
Applying the same intensity or an unsuitable treatment sequence without first identifying the pigmentation
may require more sessions, increase skin sensitivity, or make pigmentation appear darker.

Trinity Dermatology Clinic uses dermoscopy and MARK-VU imaging to assess
the distribution and depth of pigmentation, redness, and skin-barrier condition,
then selects devices and energy settings appropriate for the skin's tolerance.

Treatment Approach

Two treatment approaches selected
according to pigment response:
"Dual Toning"

Photothermal treatment and photoacoustic fragmentation may be selected
individually or combined according to the characteristics of the lesion.

PHOTOTHERMAL Selective treatment using photothermal energy,
Nano Toning

A specific wavelength is absorbed by pigment to generate a controlled thermal response, selectively treating well-defined lesions such as moles, solar lentigines, and seborrheic keratoses.

PHOTOACOUSTIC Fine fragmentation of pigment with ultrashort pulses,
Pico Toning

Ultrashort energy pulses break pigment into fine particles and are used for concerns that require gradual, precise treatment, such as melasma and dermal pigmentation.

Customized Treatment
for Each Type of Pigmentation

Rather than treating every concern with a single laser,
we adjust the treatment sequence and combination to each lesion and skin condition.

Analysis of Pigmentation & Skin Condition

Visual examination and detailed imaging are used to assess lesion characteristics, skin sensitivity, and accompanying redness.

Customized Wavelength & Energy Settings

The appropriate device and delivery method are selected according to pigmentation depth and lesion thickness.

Soothing, Recovery & Maintenance

Post-treatment skin-barrier support and UV protection help reduce the risk of further pigmentation and recurrence.

Treatment Point

Key Considerations
in Customized Pigmentation Treatment

POINT
01

Treatment involves more than
removing visible pigmentation.

Pigmentation may develop through overlapping factors such as UV exposure, skin irritation, inflammation, and aging.
Effective care therefore considers the skin barrier, redness, and lifestyle factors—not just rapid removal of the visible lesion.

Managing the factors that contribute to pigmentation can support more stable results.

POINT
02

Treatment intensity should remain
within the skin's tolerance.

Higher energy does not always lead to better results.
Energy settings and treatment intervals should reflect skin type, pigmentation depth, and response to previous treatments.

At Trinity, we prioritize gradual improvement while minimizing unnecessary stress on the skin.
