Whenever you look in the mirror, you may be bothered by freckles or light blemishes spread around your cheekbones, or an overall dull skin tone. If pigmentation does not easily fade even with consistent use of whitening cosmetics, it is said that you can consider Pico Toning.

Today, I will summarize the reasons why melasma and blemishes form, the effects and features of Pico Toning, the treatment cycle, and who it is recommended for.

1. Reasons why freckles/blemishes form

1) Repeated exposure to ultraviolet rays

The primary cause of the formation or darkening of melasma and blemishes is ultraviolet (UV) rays. It is said that when the skin is exposed to UV rays, melanin cells become activated, increasing the likelihood of blemishes such as melasma and freckles forming.

 

2) Hormonal changes

Melasma can also appear in connection with hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or the use of birth control pills. It is said that changes in female hormones can stimulate melanocytes, leading to the development of melasma.

 

3) Genetic influence

It is said that if there is a family history of melasma, the likelihood of developing it is relatively higher.

 

4) Skin inflammation

Brown marks can remain on the skin after inflammation occurs. In particular, it is said that hyperpigmentation can occur if you repeatedly touch or forcibly squeeze acne.

2. What is PicoToning?

Pico Toning utilizes the principle of delivering laser energy in picoseconds to break down pigments into very fine particles. It is said to help alleviate melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues through rapid irradiation.

3. PicoToning Effects

1) Improvement of melasma and pigmentation

One of the most frequently mentioned effects of Pico Toning is the improvement of melasma and pigmentation. It is said that when laser energy is delivered to melanin pigments, the pigment particles are broken down into smaller sizes, and as they undergo the skin's metabolic processes, you can expect the pigments to gradually lighten.

 

2) Improvement of dull skin tone

If melanin pigments are unevenly distributed across the skin, the face can appear dull or patchy overall. It is said that Pico Toning can help to even out the overall skin tone.

 

3) Relief of acne pigmentation marks

If brown marks remain after acne has subsided, it could be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is said that Pico Toning can help lighten brown acne marks by breaking down the melanin pigment remaining in the skin.

4. PicoToning Cycle / Recommended Frequency

In addition to the effects of Pico Toning, many people are curious about the treatment cycle and recommended number of sessions. The Pico Toning cycle and recommended number of sessions are as follows.

 

- PicoToning Cycle: 1-week intervals

- Recommended Pico Toning sessions: 5-10 or more

5. Pico Toning Recommended for

It is said that Pico Toning can be considered if you have the following skin concerns.

 

- Cases where light freckles are widely spread on the cheekbones and forehead

- When the entire face is dull and the skin tone is uneven

- When brown marks remain after acne has subsided

- When pigmentation becomes noticeable after UV exposure

 

However, since distinct dark spots or freckles may require different treatments, it is important to receive the appropriate procedure after an accurate diagnosis.

6. Q&A

1) How should I care for my skin after a Pico Toning procedure?
