Review of clearer skin tone after consistently receiving Pico Toning in Hongdae

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

Hello everyone! Haha. Maybe it's because the sunlight has been so strong lately, but blemishes that weren't there before have started creeping up around my cheekbones. I thought I was applying sunscreen diligently, but I guess it wasn't enough. ㅠㅠ Every time I looked in the mirror without makeup, I was incredibly stressed about my uneven skin tone. There's a limit to how much I can cover it up with makeup, and since applying heavy makeup isn't really my style, I decided I needed to find a fundamental solution. So, I looked into lasers known for treating pigmentation, and since I had an appointment in Hongdae anyway, I took the opportunity to get a consultation for Pico Toning and went straight to the procedure.

Although my blemishes weren't very dark, they were shallow and spread out, making them the main culprit behind my overall dull complexion. The director carefully examined my skin condition and advised that Pico Toning—which gently breaks down and eliminates pigments multiple times rather than applying strong energy all at once—was the most suitable treatment for my skin right now. Being a wimp when it comes to pain, I asked if it would hurt a lot, but they reassured me that it would only feel like a slight prick with a rubber band. Haha. In reality, there was a slight burning smell and it did sting a bit during the treatment, but thankfully, it was bearable enough without anesthetic cream.

After the procedure, they even applied a cooling soothing pack, so the heat on my face subsided quickly. There was a slight redness on the first day, but it was all gone by the next morning, and I could feel my skin texture becoming incredibly soft when I washed my face. I have received my third session now, and I can definitely see a noticeable improvement in my skin tone, becoming more even and clearer. Before, foundation used to look grayish, but now, even just dabbing on a thin layer of cushion foundation gives off a natural glow.

They say consistency is key when it comes to laser treatments. While it's difficult to expect dramatic results with just one or two Pico Toning sessions, I think consistently receiving about 10 sessions will definitely give you clearer skin than before. I make sure to stop by every time I have an appointment near Hongdae to check in without fail haha. Oh, and please keep in mind that after the laser treatment, you should apply twice as much moisturizer as usual and make sure to wear sunscreen even indoors to maximize the synergistic effect. I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with a dull complexion or light blemishes.
