Pigment at different depths, addressed with two lasers
When blemishes, melasma, and freckles sit at different depths in the skin, a single laser may not address them evenly. At Cellin Clinic Gangnam, your skin condition and pigment depth are assessed first, then the energy and delivery of two different lasers are adjusted for your Dual Toning plan.

About the procedure
When surface spots and deeper pigment overlap
Surface blemishes and pigment in the dermis can look similar but may respond to different lasers. Dual Toning applies two lasers with different characteristics together, addressing pigment in the epidermis and deeper layers while also taking skin tone and texture into account.
Because both lasers are used in the same session, energy levels and delivery are adjusted to each laser's characteristics and your current skin condition. At consultation, the type and depth of your pigment and your skin sensitivity are reviewed before the laser combination and session interval are set.
