What is it?

A long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser is held a set distance from the skin and passed repeatedly in a fast scanning motion. Gentle heat builds up in the upper dermis and tiny blood vessels, shrinking dilated capillaries to reduce redness, while the heat also triggers collagen remodeling to improve pores, fine lines and skin texture. Because it's non-ablative and doesn't damage the skin surface, there's virtually no downtime, and results build up over a series of sessions.

Who it's for

• Reduces facial flushing and overall redness
• Minimizes pores and refines skin texture
• Supports fine-line improvement and skin firmness
• Helps calm acne-related redness and inflammation
• Helps with oil control and overall skin tone

At Datena

• 1,500–2,000 shots following Gold PTT
• Not offered as a standalone item on our price list; used as part of other treatments such as Gold PTT

Before treatment

• Treatment may be postponed after recent heavy tanning or sun exposure
• Please tell us in advance about any photosensitizing medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Remove all makeup and sunscreen completely
• Active infections or severe inflammatory lesions: please consult us beforehand

After treatment

• Apply sunscreen (basic protection against pigmentation)
• On the day, avoid heat exposure such as saunas, jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), alcohol and intense exercise (especially if you have redness/flushing)
• Moisturize well; no harsh scrubs or peels on the day
• You can wash your face and wear makeup the same day
• For redness, we also guide you on lifestyle care (temperature changes, irritating foods)

Good to know

• Temporary redness and warmth right after treatment (fades within a few hours)
• Rarely, itching or hive-like reactions
• Very rarely, blisters or pigmentation from overheating — which is why even, uniform scanning matters
• Results are not immediate (they build up over sessions)

Pairs well with

• Combined with vascular lasers such as Vbeam — the go-to combination for treating redness (→ see Redness Treatment Package)
• Can be combined with laser toning to manage pigmentation and redness at the same time (at the doctor's discretion)
• Can be combined with skin boosters and regenerative care
