I have a question regarding who is recommended for Pico Toning due to melasma and pigmentation that have spread around my cheekbones.
Even though I thought I was diligently applying sunscreen all year round, once blemishes started to appear, they just sat on the surface and showed no signs of fading, even when I applied a generous amount of home whitening cream. Since my complexion looked dull, I kept hearing that I looked tired, so I am considering taking this opportunity to try Pico Toning, which is said to be good for destroying pigmentation.
I looked it up and heard that it is a laser treatment that breaks down only melanin cells without leaving scars or scabs on the surface of the skin. I have a particularly thin skin barrier and a sensitive constitution prone to redness, so I am wondering if I fall within the recommended range for Pico Toning, as it is a treatment that can be safely performed even on people with this skin type. I am a bit worried that if it is handled incorrectly, it could cause the pigmentation to become darker.
I've heard that it's usually difficult to notice changes after just one session, and that you need to sign up for a package of at least 5 or 10 sessions and visit regularly to see a clearer complexion. However, I'm not sure if a separate recovery period is necessary. I've roughly made an appointment planning to take a day off next week, but I would appreciate it if you could advise on any precautions I should take on the day of the procedure or what type of sunscreen I should apply. I'll use that as a reference when I go to the clinic. I welcome candid tips and insights from those who have experience with Pico Toning!
