Accento Laser Treatment

Accento

Dual-wavelength laser for hair removal, pigmentation, vascular concerns, and toning.

Overview

One platform. Many skin concerns.

Accento is a dual-wavelength laser combining a 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength and a 1064 nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG wavelength in one device. The surgeon selects the wavelength, pulse duration, and energy that best suit the target concern — from hair removal to pigment, vascular, and toning treatments.

A built-in skin cooling system protects the surface and keeps sensation manageable during each pulse, so most treatments are well tolerated with topical numbing alone.

At a Glance

Procedure Time

Typically 10–40 minutes depending on the indication and treatment area.

Anesthesia

Topical numbing cream only. Built-in cooling keeps sensation manageable during each pulse.

Downtime

Usually none for toning; brief redness and warmth for several hours. Mild crusting on treated pigment spots for a few days.

Sessions

Hair removal typically needs 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Pigment, vascular, and toning vary by concern.

Process
How it works
STEP 01

Consultation

Your primary concern (hair, pigment, vascular, or tone) is identified and the appropriate wavelength and settings are selected.

STEP 02

Numbing

Topical numbing cream is applied when needed. No injection-based anesthesia is used.

STEP 03

Treatment

Pulses are delivered across the treatment area with built-in contact cooling. Most patients describe brief snapping warmth rather than sharp pain.

STEP 04

Aftercare

Brief redness or warmth fades in hours. Strict sunscreen is essential, particularly for pigment and vascular treatments.

FAQ
Common questions
What is Accento, and what can it treat?

Accento is a dual-wavelength laser combining 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG in a single platform. It is used for hair removal, surface pigmentation (freckles, age spots), vascular concerns (redness, small vessels), and gentle laser toning.

Does it hurt?

Most patients describe brief snapping warmth during each pulse rather than sharp pain. Built-in contact cooling protects the skin and reduces discomfort. Topical numbing cream is used for sensitive areas.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the concern: hair removal typically 6–8 sessions (4–6 weeks apart), pigmentation 2–4 sessions, vascular 2–3 sessions, and toning as a monthly maintenance routine. Your surgeon confirms the plan after in-person assessment.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

The 1064 nm wavelength is well-suited to a wider range of skin tones than some older devices. Settings are still adjusted conservatively for darker skin, and pigment-care is important during recovery.

What downtime should I expect?

Hair removal and toning usually have no meaningful downtime beyond a few hours of warmth and mild redness. Pigment treatments can leave tiny dark crusts on treated spots for 5–10 days that flake off naturally — do not pick them.

When will I see results?

Vascular and toning benefits are often visible within a few sessions. Hair reduction becomes clearer after 3–4 sessions. Pigment spots start to fade after one session and continue to lighten over subsequent weeks with sun protection.

How long do results last?

Hair reduction is long-term, though occasional touch-ups may be needed for hormonal areas. Pigment and vascular results depend on sun exposure and lifestyle — maintenance is recommended once or twice a year for most patients.

What should I avoid before and after the procedure?

Avoid suntan and sunburned skin before treatment. Avoid waxing or plucking for 4–6 weeks before hair removal (shaving is fine). After treatment: sunscreen is mandatory, avoid sauna and hot baths for 2–3 days, and avoid harsh active ingredients (strong acids, retinoids) for about a week.

Can Accento be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Toning sessions pair well with skin boosters (Rejuran, Juvelook) and HIFU lifting. Pigment and vascular treatments are usually spaced around stronger ablative procedures. Your surgeon will plan the sequence and timing.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Elective cosmetic laser treatments are generally deferred during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution. Treatment can be considered after weaning.

What are the possible risks or side effects?

Typical and temporary: redness, mild swelling, warmth, transient crusting on pigment spots. Less common: post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (especially in darker skin), transient lightening, or small blisters if skin is sun-exposed. Rare: burns, scarring. Your surgeon reviews risks based on your skin type before treatment.

How long should I stay in Korea?

A single Accento session is same-day and does not require extended stay. If you plan multiple sessions during your trip (e.g., hair removal series), your surgeon can advise on spacing. Most patients plan 1–3 days per session window.
