What is Lephton laser?
Lephton is a laser that brings together several goals many people have for their skin at once: a brighter, more even tone, correction of unwanted colour, and a gentle improvement in fine elasticity. It is listed under lifting at Live Young Clinic because of that firming benefit, but it also plays a role in brightening plans.
Because it is generally low in pain, Lephton can be a comfortable entry point for people new to aesthetic treatments in Apgujeong, Gangnam, or a complement to deeper lifting devices such as Thermage FLX or Ultherapy Prime when a more complete plan is needed.
Who is Lephton suited to?
Lephton is often considered by people who describe their skin as tired or dull, who notice uneven tone, or who want a light firming effect without intensive treatment. It may also be used alongside Brighton or skin boosters when pigment and hydration are part of the picture. Suitability depends on your skin type and pigment pattern, which the doctor evaluates first.
- Dull, tired-looking complexion
- Uneven or blotchy tone
- Fine loss of firmness
- Those wanting a lower-discomfort option
How Dr. Song plans Lephton treatment
During Needs Mapping, Dr. Song uses a skin analysis device together with her own examination to understand your pigment, texture and elasticity. Different types of discoloration behave differently, so identifying what is present shapes the settings and the number of sessions she suggests.
The Curated Plan may use Lephton alone or combine it with lifting such as Thermage FLX, or with boosters like Belotero Revive for hydration. Pigment treatments usually need multiple sessions, often spaced one to two weeks apart, but the exact schedule varies by pigment type and is set at consultation.
After your Lephton session
Many people notice only mild redness or warmth afterward, which usually fades fairly quickly, though every skin reacts slightly differently. Makeup and normal routines can often resume soon, and the doctor will tell you when that is appropriate for your case.
Sun protection is especially important after any laser, because UV exposure can work against tone improvement. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, keep skin moisturized, and avoid harsh exfoliants, saunas or other heat for a short period as advised by your doctor, particularly between sessions.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lephton a lifting or a brightening laser?
It serves both purposes to a degree. Lephton is used for tone-up and colour correction, and it also supports fine elasticity. That is why it may appear in lifting plans and brightening plans at the Apgujeong clinic.
How many Lephton sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals and pigment type. Pigment-related treatments usually require multiple sessions, typically spaced one to two weeks apart. Dr. Song will suggest a schedule after assessing your skin.
Does Lephton hurt?
Lephton is generally considered low in pain, though sensitivity varies from person to person. Most people describe mild warmth or light snapping sensations. The doctor will check your comfort throughout the session.
Can I do Lephton on a short visit?
A single session is possible on a short trip, though pigment concerns often benefit from a series. If you are visiting Gangnam briefly, share your dates so the doctor can suggest a realistic plan.
Can Lephton be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it is sometimes paired with lifting devices, Brighton or skin boosters. Whether combining makes sense for your skin, and in which order, is decided by Dr. Song during the consultation after she has reviewed your tone and elasticity.
