I'm concerned about discoloration on my cheeks. How are Pico Toning and Collagen Toning different?
I'm really worried these days because there are parts of my face that look darker.
In particular, there are some spots on my cheeks that look discolored here and there, and it bothers me every time I apply makeup.
I wish my skin tone were even overall, but since there are dull spots, it doesn't feel like my skin looks clean.
At first, I tried managing it with whitening cosmetics, but I thought it would be good to look into dermatological procedures as well, so I am looking into them.
Among the treatments at Maypure, Pico Toning and Collagen Toning caught my eye. Although their names look similar, it seems they have different purposes.
If skin pigmentation is your biggest concern like mine, would it be right to look into Pico Toning first?
I am also curious if collagen toning is a procedure that is closer to managing skin elasticity or texture.
And I heard that the recommended treatment might vary depending on whether the pigmentation is melasma or blemishes.
As I enter my 40s, I am concerned about my skin texture as well as my skin tone. What should I consult about to manage both together?
Due to my work life, I am also curious about skin reactions and care methods after the procedure.

What information should I prepare before the consultation regarding pigmentation and skin problems?[4]
CommentsIt can be confusing to know what to address first when you have both melasma and acne scars. It would be a good idea to make a note of when the discoloration started to deepen and a list of the products you normally use. You won't regret deciding whether to proceed with treatment if you take your time after hearing the procedure during the consultation!270026.10.29 - 02CommentsIt seems like blemishes get much darker after summer passes; I'm the same way. I've heard that now, while the weather is warming up and filling in the lines, is actually a good time to start, so I think it would be a good idea to get a consultation. If you have dry skin, be sure to ask about post-procedure moisturizing care, the scabbing period, and whether you can apply makeup.310026.10.29

If you are worried about getting treatments too frequently, ask them to set the interval based on your skin type during the consultation, and also inquire at which session you want to check your progress. They say it is really important to be meticulous about sun protection after the procedure!6990026.10.22
