Key Treatments

Effective Solutions for Severe Skin Disorders
We specialize in providing comprehensive treatment plans for patients with severe atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and vitiligo.

Treatment for Severe Atopic Dermatitis
opic dermatitis treatment should be tailored to the patient’s severity and condition, as one-size-fits-all solutions are not effective. Recent advancements in systemic therapies, including biologics and allergen-specific immunotherapy, allow for innovative and individualized care.

Treatment for Severe Psoriasis
Psoriasis, a chronic immune-mediated skin disease, requires management similar to conditions like diabetes or hypertension. To minimize side effects, we employ diverse strategies such as rotational, sequential, and combination therapies. Advanced treatments, including biologics and state-of-the-art UV therapy, are also available.

Treatment for Vitiligo
Vitiligo requires careful differential diagnosis from other hypopigmented conditions. The cause, treatment outcomes, and prognosis vary depending on the type. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to design a treatment plan that fits the patient’s unique condition.

- Vitiligo
- Psoriasis
- Alopecia Areata
- Atopic Dermatitis
- Excimer Laser
- Effective in treating immune-related conditions such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata by regulating immune cell activity.
- Utilizes 308nm wavelength ultraviolet light for targeted treatment of affecte d areas (suitable for the face, sensitive body parts, and localized areas).
- Safe for use in children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
- Whole-Body UV Therapy Device
- Delivers ultraviolet light to the entire body to normalize inflammatory and abnormal immune responses, effectively treating various skin conditions and pruritus.
- A safe treatment option for children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
- Updated Laser Devices for Skin Conditions and Aesthetics
- Pico Laser
- Utilizes a picosecond laser system, which operates faster than the traditional nanosecond laser, delivering various wavelengths (532~1064nm).
- Effectively targets and destroys melanin cells in the skin with minimal thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
- Effective for tattoo removal, freckles, age spots, melasma, and other pigmentation disorders, as well as improving acne scars, pores, and wrinkles.
- Fractional Laser
- Combines a 10,600nm wavelength laser with the traditional fractional method for enhanced effectiveness.
- Stimulates collagen regeneration in the dermis layer, making it effective for treating various scars, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
- V-Beam Laser (PDL)
- Utilizes a 595nm wavelength laser focused on vascular structures to normalize abnormally proliferated blood vessels.
- Effective for treating conditions such as telangiectasia, port-wine stains, hemangiomas, acne, and various types of scars.
- Icon Laser (IPL + Fractional)
- Utilizes IPL with multiple wavelengths to improve pigmentation disorders and vascular conditions.
- Employs a 1540nm fractional laser to regenerate collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis, effectively treating acne scars, pores, wrinkles, and improving skin elasticity.
- HIFU Lifting
- Delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy deep into the skin to improve elasticity and achieve lifting effects for the face (cheeks), jawline, abdomen, and thighs, making it effective for anti-aging purposes.
- Airjet Lifting
- Uses high-compression jet injection technology to instantly deliver medication through air pressure.
- Breaks fibrous tissue to improve scars, stimulates collagen regeneration, and enhances skin elasticity, making it effective for lifting treatments.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment
- Utilizes electrodes (micro-insulated needles) and radiofrequency (RF) energy to coagulate and destroy sebaceous glands without damaging normal epidermal tissue, while promoting collagen production.
- Effective for treating acne, syringomas, milia, wrinkles around the eyes, and reducing under-eye fat.
