Many people notice that the brown spots on their face or the back of their hands become more distinct as the seasons change. The first question that comes to mind is usually similar: "How many times do I need to get laser treatment to remove this lentigo?" This article summarizes the burden of the number of sessions and the characteristics of Reepot Laser, which approaches with relatively fewer sessions.
Why Lentigo Darkens Over Time
Lentigo are brown pigment lesions that tend to appear on areas frequently exposed to sunlight. If left untreated, they tend to deepen in color rather than naturally fade. The fact that pigment troubles become more prominent during warmer seasons with stronger UV radiation is related to this characteristic.
In the clinic, we often see an increase in patients around the beginning of spring who say, "The spots I already had suddenly got darker." It is generally easier to manage when the color is relatively light than after it has deepened.
Facing the Question, "How Many Sessions Do I Need?"
When looking into lentigo removal laser treatment, everyone naturally thinks about the number of sessions first. Unfortunately, it is rare for it to be completed in one or two sessions.
Based on existing equipment, it often takes at least 5 sessions, and sometimes more than 10 sessions, to see gradual changes. As a result, it can take more time and cost than initially expected, and some people stop treatment midway.
If treatment is stopped midway, it can lead to a vicious cycle where the pigment darkens again, so it is important to make a plan that can be followed through to the end.
Why Reepot Laser is Gaining Attention
When searching for lentigo removal lasers, you may have heard the name RePott Laser at least once. Compared to existing equipment, RePott can be expected to show noticeable changes with relatively fewer treatment sessions, making it a device of increasing interest among those concerned about lentigo.
In particular, epidermal pigment located close to the skin surface is reported to show relatively rapid improvement after treatment, leading to high satisfaction. In addition to lentigo, it may also be considered for cases requiring Epidermal Pigment Removal for blemishes or seborrheic keratosis, and for Customized Whitening Solution to refine the overall skin tone.

Is Strong Energy Okay for Skin Irritation?
It's natural to worry about burns or irritation when strong energy is mentioned. This is even more concerning for those with sensitive skin. RePott is equipped with a system to compensate for this.
During the procedure, the device's own cooling system operates to suppress a rapid increase in skin temperature. Additionally, AI technology is designed to selectively deliver energy only to the areas with pigment lesions. It can be understood as equipment designed to approach efficiently while using strong energy.

Immediately After Treatment: DuoDerm and Regenerative Patch Care
Immediately after RePott treatment, DuoDerm is applied to the treated area. Afterwards, when you visit for follow-up, the medical staff will manage it safely, so it is important not to forcibly remove it or irritate it at home.
The key after treatment is to allow the skin a sufficient resting period for recovery and regeneration. It is recommended to keep the regenerative patch on for about 2 weeks, and the regeneration speed varies from person to person, so it may be longer.
Here are some important care points to remember at home:
- Do not arbitrarily remove DuoDerm or regenerative patches.
- If adhesion weakens, apply a larger patch over the existing one.
- Avoid excessive friction or irritation to the treated area.
- Visit the clinic according to the follow-up schedule.
- If you experience any adverse reactions, contact the clinic where you received the treatment as soon as possible.
The results of RePott Laser can vary significantly depending on post-treatment care. Paying attention to aftercare as much as the completeness of the procedure itself will bring you closer to the desired outcome.
It's Better to Check Lentigo Sooner Rather Than Later
Pigment troubles like lentigo tend to deepen in color and become more difficult to treat later if left untreated. If you are considering lentigo removal laser treatment, we recommend comparing RePott Laser as an option, which can offer an efficient approach with fewer treatment sessions.
If you have had unsatisfactory experiences despite investing a lot of time and money, it might be a good idea to check out RePott, which is gaining attention as a lentigo removal laser. If you are concerned about Laser Lesion Removal for moles or warts along with lentigo, it is advisable to discuss them together during the consultation.
Rather than simply performing laser treatment, it is recommended to proceed safely after sufficient consultation with a dermatologist based on an accurate understanding of the skin and the procedure.
