What is the recovery time after RF Lifting (Density) treatment?

Density RF is a non-invasive treatment with no recovery period. You can resume normal activities and apply makeup immediately after treatment. Mild warmth and slight swelling may persist for a few hours and naturally subside. Treatment does not interfere with sun exposure or daily routines.

When will I see results from Density RF treatment?

Immediate tightening effects are visible right after treatment due to collagen contraction. Progressive collagen regeneration continues over 4-12 weeks, with optimal results appearing 2-3 months post-treatment. Results can last 6-12 months, with improvement continuing to increase over time as new collagen forms.

How many RF Lifting sessions are needed?

One session produces immediate and lasting tightening effects. The number of treatments depends on individual skin elasticity and degree of laxity. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are recommended to sustain results. During your consultation at ABLE Dermatology, we create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition.

Is RF Lifting (Density) painful?

Density RF produces a warm sensation during treatment but is generally very comfortable. Those with sensitive skin can benefit from topical numbing cream if desired. Unlike needling or incisions, RF treatment is entirely non-invasive and safe. Most patients tolerate the procedure well without significant discomfort.

Spot Removal (Lentigo/Seborrheic Keratosis)

Spot Removal — PicoPlus + Acccento N Concentrated Spot

Spot Removal targets stubborn pigmented lesions — large freckles, solar lentigines, age spots — with concentrated high-fluence laser delivery. ABLE Dermatology Songpa uses PicoPlus picosecond laser and Acccento N 1064nm spot mode to remove pigment quickly.

Unlike repeated low-fluence toning, Spot uses high-fluence direct-shatter approach. Recovery involves micro-scab formation (5~7 days), but pigment removal is faster.

Spot Removal Indications

Recommended for stubborn dark pigmented lesions not responding to repeated toning — large freckles, solar lentigines, age spots.

Large freckles·solar lentigines — High-fluence direct-shatter approach
Age spots (lentigines) — Concentrated targeted treatment
Stubborn pigment — Picosecond domain photoacoustic effect
Toning-resistant lesions — Combined PicoPlus + Acccento N mechanism

Spot Removal Procedure Steps

PicoPlus picosecond spot
Picosecond-domain pulse delivers photoacoustic energy to shatter pigment into fine particles. Less thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
Acccento N 1064nm spot mode
1064nm wavelength penetrates deeper to address deep dermal pigment. Selective targeting for stubborn lesions.
Combined mechanism
PicoPlus and Acccento N applied based on pigment depth and density. More precise than single-modality.

Post-Procedure Recovery

Micro-scab forms 1~2 days after spot treatment and falls off naturally over 5~7 days. Do not pick. Treated area appears lighter or pink temporarily; final result evaluated 4~6 weeks later.

Strict UV protection for 2~4 weeks after (SPF50+)
Do not pick the scab — natural shedding only
Cleansing and makeup possible after scab heals
Avoid sauna, hot bath, intense exercise for 1 week
Whitening creams only on doctor advice

Frequently Asked Questions About Spot Removal

How does it differ from toning?

Toning uses low-fluence repeated approach for gradual pigment lightening. Spot uses high-fluence concentrated approach for faster removal — but recovery involves scab formation.

Will it leave a scar?

Properly performed picosecond spot is unlikely to scar. However, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) can occur, especially without UV protection.

How many sessions needed?

Many lesions respond to 1~2 sessions, but stubborn or deep lesions may need 3~4 sessions at 4~6 week intervals.
