Unique Aspects of Picotoning Treatment

1. Precisely breaks down pigments in picosecond units.

Picotoning utilizes the Picoplus laser to more finely break down melanin pigments with short pulses, lasting one-trillionth of a second.

Rather than strong energy irradiation, delicate attention is paid to adjusting laser parameters to reduce skin irritation while evenly micro-fragmenting pigments.

2. Customized Picotoning Considering Pigment Type and Skin Layer

Each type of pigment, such as melasma, blemishes, and freckles, differs in depth within the skin and reaction patterns.

Melasma, which is sensitive to stimulation, is approached gently, while deep dermal pigments may be considered for intensive management with higher energy as needed.

When various types of pigments are present together, the laser output and irradiation method are delicately adjusted according to the specific skin characteristics of each area.

3. Real-time monitoring and adjustment of skin reactions during treatment.

Picotoning is not simply a process of using equipment.

During the treatment, the medical staff closely observes the patient's skin reactions and can immediately adjust spot size, energy intensity, and irradiation range as needed.

The treatment is performed while checking skin changes together with the patient in a mirror, aiming for customized treatment optimized for each patient's individual skin condition, rather than a simple procedure.

4. Precise Pigment Analysis Using JANUS Pro

The depth and distribution of pigments, which are difficult to identify with the naked eye, can be more closely analyzed using a Mark-Vu skin diagnostic device.

Since treatment methods may vary depending on the type of epidermal or dermal pigments, individual treatment plans are established based on objective skin data.

5. Complex Pigment Treatment Approach Beyond Simple Whitening

When melasma and blemishes are present together, treating with only one strong method can make the skin more sensitive or irritate the pigments.

Therefore, skin condition is carefully considered to reduce the burden of irritation and apply customized treatment methods for each pigment type.

The treatment is conducted in a way that both restores skin condition and considers pigment improvement effects.

Understanding the Unique Aspects of Picotoning Treatment

Picotoning is a pigment treatment method that concentrates energy in a much shorter period than traditional nanosecond lasers, breaking pigments into finer particles.

It can be applied to various pigmentary conditions such as melasma, blemishes, and freckles, and can help improve skin tone and overall skin clarity.

However, the results of Picotoning treatment are not solely determined by the name of the equipment used.

It is crucial to adjust the energy intensity and irradiation method according to the pigment type, individual skin sensitivity, and melanin activity.

1. Precisely breaks down pigments with ultra-short pulse lasers.

Picotoning utilizes extremely short laser pulses in picosecond units, characterized by breaking down pigment particles more finely and uniformly.

As energy is concentrated in a short moment, it can reduce the burden of thermal damage to surrounding skin tissue while promoting pigment improvement.

Considering the skin condition, it is important to minimize skin irritation by carefully adjusting the output intensity, irradiation speed, and spot size.

2. Picotoning Treatment Customized to Disease Characteristics

1) Melasma

Melasma is a state where melanocytes are highly sensitive, so strong stimulation can actually worsen hyperpigmentation.

After identifying the extent and depth of melasma with a Mark-Vu diagnostic device, Picotoning is performed in a way that minimizes irritation, considering the skin's reactivity.

Utilizing the short characteristics of picosecond pulses, melanosomes are finely broken down to reduce skin irritation and pursue gradual improvement.

During the treatment, skin reactions are checked with the patient in a mirror, and output and irradiation range are immediately adjusted as needed.

2) Blemishes · Freckles · Other Pigmentary Conditions

Blemishes and freckles are generally pigmentary lesions that respond relatively quickly, but if melasma is also present, stimulation control must be very carefully managed.

Instead of simply applying strong laser shots during the procedure, we closely observe the skin's reaction. We may change handpieces or finely adjust equipment settings as needed, depending on the situation.

Understanding Pico Toning

Pico Toning is a pigment improvement procedure that delivers laser energy to the skin in picoseconds, an extremely short unit of time, to break down melanin pigments into smaller particles.

Compared to traditional laser toning procedures, Pico Toning has an even shorter irradiation time. This helps to break down pigment particles more precisely and can reduce thermal stimulation delivered to the surrounding skin.

This procedure can help improve various pigmentary problems such as melasma, blemishes, freckles, and ABNOM, and contribute to achieving a clearer overall skin tone.

Expected Benefits of Pico Toning

• Can help even out skin tone and create a clearer complexion.

• You can expect to see a lightening of hyperpigmented areas such as melasma, blemishes, and freckles.

• Can help brighten dull-looking skin tone and make it appear more vibrant.

• By delicately breaking down pigment particles, it can offer benefits in making skin texture appear more even overall.

• Can positively influence skin texture, making it smoother and revealing a healthy glow.

• The relatively short recovery period after the procedure can reduce the burden of returning to daily life.

Who is Pico Toning Recommended For?

• It can be considered for those whose skin tone appears dark and dull due to melasma or blemishes.

• We recommend it for those who are concerned about recurring hyperpigmentation.

• It is also suitable for those who have previously undergone other toning treatments but are seeking better results.

• It may be appropriate for individuals who wish to undergo pigment improvement treatment while minimizing skin irritation as much as possible.

• It can be beneficial for those who desire changes in their overall skin tone as well as skin texture.

Pico Toning Procedure Steps

STEP 1.

We accurately diagnose the depth and distribution of pigments within the skin using the Janus Pro device.

STEP 2.

Our medical staff directly examines the patient's skin and creates a customized treatment plan tailored to each individual's condition.

STEP 3.

Considering the patient's skin characteristics and the condition of their pigmented lesions, we custom-adjust the Pico Toning device settings.

STEP 4.

During the procedure, we closely monitor the skin's reaction and flexibly adjust the laser intensity and treatment area as needed.

STEP 5.

After the procedure, we jointly check the skin condition and provide detailed explanations on future care methods.

A Heartfelt Message from Our Medical Director

Pigment treatment is not simply a procedure of firing lasers. I believe the key lies in how delicately one diagnoses the skin condition and adjusts the treatment accordingly.

Particularly for pigmented lesions like melasma, it's difficult to achieve good results by simply approaching with strong energy. A delicate process of minimizing unnecessary skin irritation while delivering the necessary energy to the precise depth is crucial.

We meticulously observe each patient's individual skin reaction and strive to provide personalized pigment improvement rather than a uniform treatment.

Post-Procedure Precautions

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

It is recommended to apply sunscreen carefully to protect your skin.

Your skin may temporarily appear red or feel dry after the procedure. In this case, it helps to use plenty of moisturizing products and focus on soothing your skin.

It is recommended to avoid harsh scrubs or other stimulating treatments for a while.

If redness or sensitive symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult with medical staff for advice.
