Pico Toning, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Unique Features

1. Ultrafine Pigment Breakdown in Picosecond Units

Pico toning using PicoPlus laser is a procedure that uses extremely short laser pulses, in picosecond (one trillionth of a second) units, to break down melanin pigments even more finely.

At our clinic, rather than simply applying strong energy, we prioritize detailed parameter adjustments to reduce skin irritation while more uniformly breaking down pigments into finer particles.

2. Customized Pico Toning Considering Pigment Type and Skin Depth

Melasma, blemishes, and freckles each have different depths and reaction characteristics.

At our clinic, pigments sensitive to irritation, such as melasma, are approached more gently, while dermal pigments receive higher energy and intensive treatment when necessary.

When multiple types of pigmentation coexist, we meticulously apply different outputs and irradiation methods to each area.

3. Real-time Skin Reaction Monitoring and Immediate Adjustment

Pico toning is not merely a procedure of irradiating with equipment.

Even during the procedure, our medical staff directly monitors the skin's reaction, and immediately adjusts spot size, energy intensity, and irradiation range as needed.

We proceed by checking the skin condition with the patient in the mirror, aiming for a personalized treatment tailored to the actual skin condition, not just a formal toning session.

4. Precise Pigment Analysis Using JANUS Pro

Using a Mark-Vu skin diagnostic device, we meticulously analyze the depth and distribution of pigments, which are difficult to distinguish accurately with the naked eye.

Since the treatment approach may vary depending on whether the pigment is epidermal or dermal, we establish a treatment plan based on objective skin data.

5. Integrated Pigment Treatment Focused Approach, Not Just Simple Whitening

If melasma and blemishes coexist, treating them aggressively with a single method can make the pigments more sensitive.

Our clinic considers the skin condition, reducing irritation while applying different approaches for each type of pigment.

We proceed with treatments that consider both skin condition recovery and pigment improvement.

The Special Features of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Pico Toning

Pico toning is a pigment treatment method that delivers high energy in a much shorter time than conventional nanosecond lasers, breaking down pigments even more finely.

It is particularly used for various pigmentary disorders such as melasma, blemishes, and freckles, and can be expected to improve skin tone and overall skin clarity simultaneously.

However, pico toning is not a procedure where results are solely determined by the “equipment name”.

The energy intensity and irradiation method must vary depending on the type of pigment, skin sensitivity, and the degree of melanin activity.

1. Ultrafine Pigment Breakdown Using Ultrafast Lasers

Pico toning is characterized by using extremely short irradiation times, in picosecond units, to break down pigment particles into smaller, more uniform pieces.

Because energy is concentrated for a short period, pigment treatment can be expected while reducing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues.

At our clinic, we meticulously adjust the output intensity, irradiation speed, spot size, and other parameters according to the skin condition, striving to minimize the burden of skin irritation.

2. Customized Pico Toning Treatment by Condition

1) Melasma

Melasma is a condition where melanin cells themselves are highly sensitive, so excessive irritation can actually worsen the pigmentation.

At our clinic, after analyzing the scope and depth of melasma using a Mark-Vu diagnostic device, we proceed with pico toning in a way that considers skin reaction and reduces irritation.

We use short pulses in picosecond units to finely break down melanosomes, aiming for gradual improvement while minimizing skin irritation.

Even during the procedure, we check the skin's reaction with the patient in the mirror, and immediately adjust the output and irradiation range if necessary.

2) Blemishes · Freckles · Other Pigmentary Disorders

While blemishes and freckles are pigmentary disorders that generally respond quickly, irritation control is crucial if melasma also coexists.

Rather than simply irradiating strongly, we perform treatments while checking skin reactions in real-time, changing handpieces or finely adjusting parameters as needed.

Understanding Pico Toning

Pico Toning is a pigment treatment that finely breaks down melanin pigments using very short laser energy in picosecond (picosecond) units.

Because the irradiation time is shorter than traditional laser toning, it can break down pigment particles more finely and help reduce heat damage transferred to surrounding tissues.

Through this, you can expect improvement in various pigmentary disorders such as melasma, blemishes, freckles, and ABNOM, along with an overall improvement in skin tone.

Pico Toning Treatment Process

STEP 1.

We precisely analyze the depth and distribution of pigments using JANUS Pro.

STEP 2.

The director directly checks the skin condition and establishes a personalized treatment plan.

STEP 3.

Pico Toning parameters are set according to skin type and pigment condition.

STEP 4.

During the treatment, we check the skin's reaction and adjust output and irradiation area as needed.

STEP 5.

After the treatment, we jointly check the skin condition and guide you on future care methods.

A Message from the Director

I believe that pigment treatment is not just about irradiating with a laser, but rather how finely the skin condition is analyzed and controlled.

Especially pigmentary disorders like melasma cannot be solved by strong treatments alone; it is crucial to precisely deliver the necessary energy while minimizing skin irritation.

Our clinic carefully monitors the skin reaction of each and every patient, striving to provide personalized pigment treatment rather than a simple procedure.

Precautions After Treatment

• You can wash your face and apply light makeup from the day of the procedure.

• It is important to diligently use sunscreen.

• After the procedure, your skin may temporarily become red or dry, so we recommend focusing on moisturizing and soothing care.

• It is advisable to avoid strong scrubs or irritating treatments for a certain period.

• If redness or sensitivity persists for a long time, please consult with the medical staff.
