Skin Brightening Care Set: What's in the menu

Before summer's scorching UV worsens your skin unevenness or discoloration, think about treating them with the complete Skin Brightening Care Set.

This set, in short, is the combination of the latest skin brightening devices and latest bleaching formulas.

Bleachers or brightening cremes alone usually takes months or maybe years to see a satisfactory effect.
Especially pigment spots which are untreated for over 5 or 10 years usually disperse their melanin pigment down deeper to lower skin layer (dermis), the condition that makes them difficult to reach with conventional remedies and mostly requires conjucntin treatment of the device and medication.

Brightening device alone may show immediate effect but is sometimes powerful enough to cause some unwanted adverse effect such as recurrent pigmentation(usually temporary) which consequently needs the help of brightening medication.

On the other hand, pigment lesions that only react to bleachers also do exist.

An inclusive care for brightening skin consists of the following treatment menu ：

１． glutathione IV drip	2times
２．ion/ultrasonic massage	6times
３．chemical peeling	6times
４．bleachers	tranexamic acid oral 3mos.
	vitaminC oral 3mos.
	vitamin E oral 3mos.
	high perm. vita C&E lotion 3bot.
	tretinoin　2tubes
	hydroquinone 　2tubes
	hydroquinone UV　2tubes
	Lumixyl　　　2tubes
５．laser treatment	picotoning  4times
	pico Focus fractional 1time
	pico Zoom spot multiple
	mole/vascular lasers multiple

which details of each treatment are respectively explained:


1．Skin Brightening IV Drip　　　　　　Glutathione IV Drip is the center of attention now in the world of skin complexion treatment.

and also well-known about its effectiveness on
whole body brightening treatment.

3．Chemical Peeling　　　　　　Chemical peeling is a treatment that uses weak acid to melt and peel keratin layer over the epidermis, which cleans pores and revive sskin thightness, and also consequently helps brightening the skin by the reason stated below.
skin turnover
Keratin layer peeling allowed brightening devices to work better with the thinned skin, but besides this more importantly is that peeling helps the turnover of the epidermis to shorten it into 2 weeks instead of 1 month for facial skin, allowing the melanin pigments to rise higher from the base , making topical bleacher medication work effectively.

Chemicals used are as follows:

Glycolic acid is mainly used as an outpatient procedure, which has also names as AHA or fruit acid..
Wider area such as whole face is the usual treatnent part, and might cause irritation sometimes which is the reason why it is not recommendable for home therapy.


Tretinoin creme is good for home care , and should be used mainly partially, usually prescribed for melasma use.

4．Treatment with Bleachers　　　　Devices such as lasers and IPL are for clinical procedures, while brightening medications are designed for home care therapy.

Topical bleachers include hydroquinone whiich starts from５％ through10%.
If hydroquinone shows abnormal reaction, tranexamic acid or kojic acid cremes are the alternatives.

The latest Lumixyl is also a good choice which is said to be more effective that hydroquinone with less side effect.

Also available are the highly- concentrated and highly-permeablevitamin C & Elotions which are capable of upgrading evenness of the skin tone and also good humidifiers.

As Oral medication, prescription of transamenic acid. vitamin C, and vitamin E is a routine.
Transamenic acid suppresses production of melanin while minimizing redness of the treatment healing process.
Then, vitamin C 's melanin suppression and vitamin E's antiaging capability are needless to explain.

Brightening skin from the outside and inside is the aim of medication therapy.

　　　　before brightening course　　　　　　　　　　after brightenng course
Bleacher is mainly used as an adjunct treatment for finer and lighter melanin lesions spared from laser and IPL treatment, also for the side effects of stronger devices.
However, a lesion that needs mainly bleacher medication is the melanin pigment issue called melasma.

　　　　melasma before course　　　　　　　　　　　melasma after course
Melasma is a common word well-known throughout Japan nowadays, thanks to the TV ad of transameic acid oral med. Even how infamous the spot is laser treatment is not effective and mostly worsen it, making bleachers the only remedy available.
Laser for melasma was once hailed as an outrageous invention, but ended in vain because of its incompetency to cure.

Bleacher is associated usually with chemical peeling procedures which are already mentioned above in order to obtain multiplied effect.



6．Laser Treatment　　　A laser that can treat both a broad skin area and a partial
pigment with a powerful energy and without that much downtime is only PicoSure.
It is the most well-known picosecond laser available today.

The traditional Q-Switched Laser works only in nanosecond, while picolaser
can emit in picosecond, 1000 times faster. The old Q-Switched laser treat the lesions with heat,
but PicoSure uses its power waves to destroy pigments.

It treats partial spots also but produces no bigger scabs that need to heal longer,
so washing and make-up can soon be okay to do.

Wider areas are treatable also like using an IPL(Light) device,
and more effective.

Another advantage of picosecond laser is its ability of performing
without obvious downtime. Redness might be observed
but subsides within hours.

Sunspots、freckles、birthmarks、and ADM（acquired dermal melanocytosis）are good candidates for this procedure.
PicoSure bef/aft
Melasma also can be treated with picosecond laser.
However, overtreating it is not a good thing because it might worsen the problem.
So treatment with the other brightening regimen is necessary.

Tattoo removal and wrinkle rejuvenation with fractional
ar also options of PicoSure care.

The next most-used one is the vaporizing laser.
Vaporizing laser emits high-energy beam that targets water in the tissue resulting in iinstant tissue evaporation, letting the target lesion removed.
The mostly used evaporizing lasers are the erbium laser and the CO₂ laser.

　　mole before laser　　　　　　　　after laser
Usual targets are benign tumors such as moles、keratosis（warts）、and acrochordons（skin tags)/syringomas/miliums/sebaceous hyperplasia.

Vascular lesion laser is also available.

　　before vascular laser　　　　　　after vascular laser
Redness from capillaries and other vascular dilation are good candidates for vascular laser.

PicoSure treatment is designed for no or less downtime setting
but individuals who are delicate to lights might show some mild discoloration.
Other lasers also might need weeks or months for temporary side effects.

If temporary adverse results appear in laser treatment, bleachers stated above are needed to support the wanted effect.
