The blemishes on my cheeks and cheekbones get darker every time the seasons change. I am curious about the treatment cycle and aftercare for Pico Toning.
2026.11.10 10:08
I am in my late 30s, and I came for a consultation because I have noticed that blemishes on my cheeks and cheekbones become darker whenever the seasons change. It feels like some melasma spread after spending some time outdoors this summer, and no matter how much sunscreen I apply, my skin looks dull again the next day. I have been consistently using Vitamin C ampoules and whitening cream at home, but I wonder if this has reached its limit, as my skin is not improving any further.
I am considering Pico Toning and would like to know how many sessions are typically required to see results and if a 2-week interval between treatments is appropriate. Since I work, I am concerned about bruising or scabs lasting a long time, so I am wondering if it is okay to apply makeup and go to work the very next day. I have heard that I should avoid exfoliation during the treatment period, so I would appreciate it if you could also tell me the order of my skincare routine and how to use regenerating creams. I would also like to confirm during the consultation whether Pico Toning alone is sufficient for areas with dark blemishes, or if there are cases where other lasers need to be combined.

What kind of care should I start with for skin prone to severe redness during the change of seasons?[6]
CommentsIt seems like my skin gets more sensitive and my redness gets worse whenever the seasons change. ㅠㅠ Especially when there's a big temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, my face really flushes out, you know? lol At times like this, instead of applying all sorts of products, I think it's better to minimize irritation and focus on moisturizing first.210026.11.09 - 02CommentsIt must be really difficult to decide which laser to choose when you have both melasma and blemishes. Since Pico Toning and Clarity each have different characteristics, I think it would be best to check the type of pigmentation first. Also, I heard that melasma can get darker if irritated, so I really need to make a careful decision.250026.11.09
- 03CommentsI think it would be good to get consistent treatments with the Pico Toning laser. They say the difference is significant after about 10 sessions!280026.11.09
- 01CommentsI think it would be less of a burden if I could start with a small scope. That is a good question.850026.11.04
- 02CommentsIt must be very stressful for you that enlarged pores and scars are difficult to cover up even with makeup. I am also looking into laser treatments, and I’ve heard that combining PicoFraxel or Subcision is very effective.360026.11.09
- 03CommentsAs autumn arrives, the pigmentation that developed during the summer becomes more noticeable, which must be bothersome. I can relate to your confusion, as the treatment cycles vary depending on the type of toning.1100026.11.04

- 02CommentsI understand your desire to make a decision after understanding the frequency and costs. Could I also receive written guidance on the settlement criteria if I change the plan midway?840026.10.30
