Rappoel Dermatology uses pico laser to precisely remove seborrheic keratosis for clean, spot-free skin<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Age spots (seborrheic keratosis) are among the most common skin concerns for people over 30. These brown, slightly raised patches typically appear on the face, backs of hands, temples, and forehead. While benign, they significantly affect perceived age. Seoul&#8217;s Rappoel Dermatology uses pico laser to precisely shatter pigment particles, safely removing seborrheic keratosis patches for clean, even skin tone.<\/p>\n<h2>Characteristics of Seborrheic Keratosis<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Appearance:<\/strong> Brown or dark brown patches with a slightly rough or wart-like raised surface<\/li>\n<li><strong>Common Locations:<\/strong> Face (temples, forehead, cheekbones), backs of hands, chest, back<\/li>\n<li><strong>Age Trend:<\/strong> Begins appearing after 30, increasing in number and size with age<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun Exposure:<\/strong> Chronic UV exposure accelerates formation; more common in outdoor workers<\/li>\n<li><strong>Genetics:<\/strong> Those with family history of seborrheic keratosis are more prone<\/li>\n<li><strong>Difference from Freckles:<\/strong> Seborrheic keratosis has a raised texture; freckles are completely flat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rappoel Laser Treatment Protocol<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Skin Examination:<\/strong> The physician uses a dermatoscope to confirm the nature of patches and rule out other pigment lesions<\/li>\n<li><strong>Device Selection:<\/strong> Pico laser or CO2 laser chosen based on patch thickness<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pico Laser:<\/strong> Suitable for superficial pigment patches, shattering pigment particles without damaging surrounding skin<\/li>\n<li><strong>CO2 Laser:<\/strong> Suitable for thicker wart-like elevations, vaporizing excess keratinized tissue<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treatment Sessions:<\/strong> 1-2 sessions for superficial patches, 2-3 for deeper or thicker ones<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total Time:<\/strong> 1-2 minutes per patch, 15-30 minutes for full face<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recovery:<\/strong> 3-7 days for crust shedding, 1-2 weeks for complete recovery<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Treatment Results and Advantages<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Precise Removal:<\/strong> Laser targets only pigment patches without affecting surrounding normal skin<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate Effect:<\/strong> Pigment lightens immediately after treatment; patches disappear after crust shedding<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scar-Free:<\/strong> With proper technique, no scarring occurs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simultaneous Rejuvenation:<\/strong> Pico laser also stimulates collagen production, improving surrounding skin texture<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preventive Effect:<\/strong> Combined with sun protection after removal, new patch formation is delayed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Laser treatment for seborrheic keratosis should be performed at a reputable clinic by an experienced physician. Confirming the nature of patches before treatment is essential, as some early skin lesions may resemble seborrheic keratosis. Rappoel Clinic is located 3 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10, where physicians use dermatoscopy for professional differential diagnosis to ensure safe and effective treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Will age spots return after removal?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Removed patches typically do not recur at the same location, but new seborrheic keratosis may appear elsewhere with age and sun exposure.
