I started Pico Toning to improve my dull skin tone.

📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Hongdae Station Branch"

After doing some outdoor activities, even though I tried my best to apply sunscreen, I noticed that freckles and blemishes really flared up on my cheekbones. On top of that, my overall skin tone became dull, so even when I applied makeup, it looked dark and lifeless, which made me feel so depressed.

So, after frantically searching for lasers that are good for whitening, I booked an appointment at Maypure to coincide with my plans in the Hongdae area and visited the salon. The consultation manager examined my skin and recommended Pico Toning, saying it was the most suitable treatment for addressing pigmentation and improving overall skin tone.

They explained in detail that Pico Toning causes less skin damage than regular toning and breaks down pigments into smaller particles, so the complexion brightens up faster, which really gave me confidence haha. After storing my belongings and washing my face, I went into the laser room, and as I lay there with my eyes covered, my heart started pounding.

Once the Pico Toning procedure actually started, it felt like rubber bands were snapping on my face. It wasn't as painful as I expected—just a slight stinging sensation—so I could handle it perfectly well without numbing cream. I was so grateful that the director paid extra attention to the darker pigmentation on my cheekbones and treated them meticulously.

My face was a little red right after the procedure, but it subsided quickly after applying a soothing pack, so I had no trouble meeting a friend in Hongdae to eat and hang out haha. It has been a week since my first Pico Toning session, and while the melasma hasn't dramatically disappeared since it's only been once, I definitely feel like my complexion has brightened up when I wake up in the morning.

I heard that you usually need to receive laser toning treatments consistently for about 10 sessions at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks to see definite results. I decided to take this opportunity to definitely brighten my skin tone, so I went ahead and signed up for the 10-session package haha. I'll make sure to attend diligently according to my remaining Pico Toning schedule and come back later to leave another review! If you're worried about a dull complexion, I recommend getting a consultation!
