Vol. 33 Gold & Black Diamond Treatment — June

I look in the mirror and feel amazed; I touch my skin and I’m surprised all over again. In my work, I experience many treatments myself, and there are times when I feel genuinely moved. But this gold-based treatment exceeded my expectations more than anything I’ve experienced in my 18 years in this field.

When I introduce a treatment myself, I almost always try it first before offering it to my clients. This time, I attended a workshop for the first time in several years. Since it was a Sunday, I thought it might be a little inconvenient, and I really had no excuse not to go, so I did. But as I listened to the friendly doctor from Norway sharing his knowledge, I became more alert, my mind started racing, and I felt excited. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to learn about something so thoughtful and effective. After working in this field for so many years, I hear a lot of information, but so much of it feels similar. It is rare to come across something that truly moves me. The laser treatment using gold that I am introducing today is an innovative treatment that brings smiles and high effectiveness — something that both I and the clients who have already tried it want to repeat very soon. The product has existed for a few years, but it only arrived in Australia in this March.

Gold acts as a mediator that absorbs and amplifies the energy from the laser we normally use, delivering it deeper into the skin. Because it amplifies the energy, the laser settings can be lower than usual, which reduces both discomfort and stress on the skin. Gold is made in invisible particles, and its shape and size are designed according to each treatment purpose. The gold that enters through the pores is created small enough not to enter the bloodstream, and it naturally disappears as the skin turns over after treatment. Today, I’d like to introduce two of these treatments: GOLD PTT and GD TONE-UP.

GD TONE-UP contains not only gold particles, but also black diamond particles and three effective brightening ingredients. The liquid is first applied over the entire face, and then treated with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. When the laser hits the black diamond particles, it removes dead skin cells from the pores and skin surface. The gold then amplifies the effects of the laser. This provides even better results than laser treatment alone, including breaking down melanin pigment, which is the source of spots such as melasma, promoting collagen production, and removing fine facial hair. The skin becomes smooth almost immediately, firmness is improved, and the brightening ingredients penetrate more effectively, leaving the skin looking brighter — a true triple-toning effect.

I was so impressed right after treatment that I touched my skin, looked in the mirror, and laughed to myself, saying, “What? It’s so smooth!” For several days after that, I kept doing a double take at my mirror because my face looked so bright and porcelain-like. Of course, results and sensations vary from person to person, but ever since then, I have been sharing that excitement with my clients.

GD TONE-UP is suitable for concerns such as deeper pigmentation like melasma, enlarged or clogged pores, fine lines, and acne. Ideally, treatments are performed every 3 to 4 weeks.

GOLD PTT is especially effective for pores and acne. First, gold particles are infused into the pores of the skin using ultrasound, and then Nd:YAG laser is applied in several settings. This helps suppress acne causes from the sebaceous glands, destroys acne bacteria with heat, improves clogged and enlarged pores, and makes acne scars less noticeable. It is effective for anyone from teenagers to adults with acne that keeps recurring no matter what they do, especially for those with moderate or more severe acne skin. Depending on the condition, the ideal interval is every 2 to 4 weeks.

There are also several other products for different purposes, and among the ones currently awaiting approval from the Australian government, I’m especially excited about the one that is effective for treating dark circles under the eyes. I can hardly wait.

For safety reasons, this treatment is not suitable for people on dialysis, those taking medications that make the skin highly sensitive to sunlight, pregnant women, or those with severe allergies to metals or alcohol.

There are people for whom this treatment is suitable and others for whom it is not, so please come in for a consultation first.

In this month’s issue, we featured a hands-on experience with GD Tone-Up and treatment for the removal of age-related warts.
