※ Progress may vary depending on skin type, pigment depth and border, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors.

To explain it briefly, lentigines are often viewed a little differently from faint, diffusely spread blemishes.

 

They may look like brown spots on the surface,
but in reality, they often have relatively clear borders,
stand out individually,
or appear mixed with surrounding fine pigmentation,
so the approach may differ from melasma or more common superficial spots.

 

That is why in cases like this,
rather than evaluating everything the same way,
it is more realistic to first assess
the size, border, darkness, and distribution of the pigment,
and then move through the process of
diagnosis → lesion-specific treatment planning → follow-up assessment → adjustment if needed.

When looking at before-and-after photos,
it is also better not to focus only on
“Was everything removed in one session?”

 

Instead, it is more helpful to look at
how much the borders of the brown spots have softened,
how much the color difference from the surrounding skin has decreased,
and how much the overall tone of the face has improved.

 

Especially with lentigines,
they often appear as round or relatively well-defined spots,
so it is helpful to evaluate both
how much a prominent lesion has faded
and how much the surrounding scattered fine pigment has cleared,
since that gives a more realistic sense of the actual change.

 

Aftercare does not need to be complicated.

 

For about 1 to 2 weeks,
it is better to avoid harsh home-care products such as scrubs, peeling pads, strong AHA/BHA products, and retinol,
and focus mainly on moisturization and sun protection.

That usually helps keep the recovery process more stable.

 

Also, with this type of pigmentation,
the changes are often better judged over time rather than immediately after treatment,
as crusting and rough texture gradually settle,
and tone differences tend to fade little by little,
so it is important to review the intermediate course separately from the later outcome.

 

※ After treatment, temporary redness, warmth, dryness, flaking, crusting, temporary darkening of pigment, or temporary tone differences may occur. Skin response and recovery speed vary from person to person, and if symptoms are severe or persist, an in-person evaluation may be needed.
