Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Glass Skin Vellus Hair Removal Differentiators

1. It's not just about removing vellus hair; it's a procedure that perfects skin expression.

Vellus hair is thin and not easily noticeable,

but it's a major culprit that makes foundation cakey and dulls the skin texture.

Vellus hair removal at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic

is not just simple hair removal, but a process of creating 'glass skin that takes makeup well.'

2. Immediate reaction: 'Hair burns or is cut and disappears' upon laser application.

When the laser is properly applied to vellus hair,

the hair immediately burns or is cut due to thermal denaturation, and visible smoothness can be seen right after the procedure.

This means that even with just one session, you can immediately feel that your makeup 'adheres perfectly,' and

after about 5 repeated sessions, hair generally stops growing or grows very slowly,

and the skin condition that takes makeup well transforms into 'skin that maintains' this effect.

3. Safe settings for facial use, without pigmentation or folliculitis

Using Apogee Elite Plus

755nm Alexandrite + customized output control for the face

Stable hair removal with controlled cooling + irradiation speed + depth

→ Laser settings that even those with sensitive skin can receive without worry

5. Immediate smoothness → With repeated sessions, skin texture and light reflection change

Even with just one session, you can feel the difference in makeup application and skin texture.

After 5 or more cumulative sessions, as the light reflection angle changes,

a translucent glow appears on the skin, as if a 'radiance' has emerged.

Thereafter, with maintenance treatments every 2-3 months,

you can always maintain a refined skin condition.

Why should vellus hair removal be done with a 'laser'?

Vellus hair is thin and has a low melanin content, making it difficult to remove effectively with common hair removal methods (shaving, waxing, etc.). Furthermore, these methods only treat the skin surface, causing hair to grow back quickly, and repeated irritation can increase the risk of skin troubles or folliculitis.

In contrast, laser hair removal uses specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, generating thermal energy. This energy destroys the hair follicle, inhibiting hair regrowth. For vellus hair removal on sensitive areas like the face, a short-wavelength laser (e.g., Alexandrite laser) is suitable to minimize skin damage.

Apogee Elite Plus uses a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which has a high absorption rate for melanin, allowing for effective removal of even light and thin vellus hair.

Additionally, its powerful cooling system minimizes skin irritation while precisely delivering energy only to the hair, enabling a safe procedure.

Procedure Process

• Anesthetic Cream Option (if needed): Depending on your skin condition, anesthetic cream may be used to minimize discomfort.
• Laser Application: The laser is quickly applied over a wide area with optimal intensity to remove only fine hair without heat accumulation.
• Cooling and Soothing: Continuous cooling during the procedure soothes the skin and minimizes irritation.

Treatment Cycle

Hair has a cycle of growth, catagen, and telogen phases, and laser hair removal is most effective on hair in the growth phase.

Therefore, we recommend 5 or more sessions at 3-4 week intervals, and thereafter, the effects can be maintained with touch-up treatments approximately once every 3 months.
