Yes, body treatments are possible. However, since the metabolic rate of the body is slower than that of the face, it may take up to four weeks for the scabs to naturally flake off.
We do not treat melasma areas with AccuTip, as it may cause the pigmentation to darken. For melasma, we recommend oral medications or alternative treatments (such as Laser Toning or Photosilk Plus) depending on your condition.
It is highly effective for solar lentigines (age spots) and freckles. However, for birthmarks such as café-au-lait spots or ADM (Acquired Dermal Melanocytosis), which are often mistaken for common spots, AccuTip generally yields limited results.
Depending on your skin type, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (reddish or brownish marks) may occur for a few months, similar to results seen after Q-switched YAG laser treatments. Rest assured, these will fade naturally over time.
Furthermore, because the treatment equipment involves heating, the risk of burns is not zero. Therefore, at our hospital, our experienced doctors carefully monitor each patient's skin condition and provide meticulous treatment to minimize the risks.
Yes. AccuTip uses wavelengths (500–635 nm) that are highly absorbed by both melanin and hemoglobin, making it very effective for vascular lesions like acne redness and cherry angiomas.
While one session can show results, multiple treatments every 3–4 weeks are often recommended for optimal outcome.
