If you are bothered by freckles, blemishes, or a dull skin tone around your cheeks when looking in the mirror, hyperpigmentation may be the problem. Especially in seasons like now, when exposure to UV rays increases, pigmentation that previously appeared light may look darker, causing concern.

Many people visiting Sanbon Dermatology Clinic are curious about why melasma and blemishes appear, what Pico Toning is, and whether it is suitable for their skin. Today, I will explain in detail the reasons for pigmentation, what Pico Toning is, who it is recommended for, and precautions after the procedure.

1. Reasons for pigmentation

1) UV exposure

One of the main causes of pigmentation is ultraviolet rays. It is said that repeated exposure to UV rays can lead to excessive melanin production, causing pigmentation such as freckles and blemishes to become darker.

 

2) Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes can also cause melasma. It is said that melasma can appear due to hormonal shifts caused by pregnancy or the use of birth control pills.

 

3) Post-acne inflammatory reaction

Skin affected by inflammation, such as acne, can produce excessive melanin during the healing process. It is said that this can leave behind hyperpigmentation, such as red or brown marks.

2. Sanbon Dermatology Pico Toning

If you are concerned about pigmentation issues such as freckles or blemishes, you might consider Pico Toning.

Pico-toning is a treatment method that uses a laser to break down pigment particles deep within the skin for a short duration in picoseconds. It is said to be effective in alleviating melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

 

- Pico Toning Treatment Cycle: 5-10 sessions recommended at 1-week intervals.

3. Recommended Candidates for Pico Toning at Sanbon Dermatology

Pico Toning is said to be a procedure worth considering in the following cases.

 

1) When freckles or blemishes appear to be getting darker

Melasma and blemishes can darken due to UV rays, hormones, and skin irritation. It is said that if you have pigmentation widely spread around your cheekbones and cheeks, you might consider Pico Toning.

 

2) When the overall skin tone is dull

It is said that if your skin tone is generally dark and uneven, you can try skin tone improvement management through Pico Toning.

 

3) Cases where acne marks remain for a long time

If brown marks persist for a long time even after acne has subsided, it could be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In such cases, you can consider Pico Toning.

4. Precautions After Pico Toning Procedure

It is said that proper aftercare is important following Pico Toning to prevent pigmentation from darkening again. It is recommended to follow the instructions below after the procedure.

 

1) UV protection

Since the skin may become sensitive to external stimuli after the procedure, you should apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out, and it is recommended to use a hat or parasol if you plan to be outdoors for an extended period.
