1. What is Pico Toning in Korea?

1) What kind of treatment is pico toning?

Pico toning is a cosmetic dermatology treatment that utilizes a "picosecond laser," which emits laser pulses for extremely short periods of time.

The laser's energy works to break down melanin pigment into smaller particles, aiming to improve blemishes, dullness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Its characteristic feature is that it uses low-power lasers to irradiate a wide area, tailored to the individual's skin condition.

 

2) Characteristics of Pico Toning

Pico toning is a treatment that aims to even out skin tone by targeting melanin pigment.

The downtime is relatively short, and multiple treatments may be necessary depending on your skin condition.

However, since the appropriate irradiation method varies depending on the type of blemish, a prior consultation is essential.

 

3) Who should consider Pico Toning?

Pico toning is recommended for those with the following skin concerns:

• For those who are concerned about blemishes

• For those who want to even out dullness and uneven skin tone.

• For those concerned about hyperpigmentation from acne scars

Please note that melasma can worsen with laser treatment, so a doctor's diagnosis is necessary.

2. Expected effects of Korean Pico Toning

1) Spot care

Pico toning targets melanin pigment, aiming to improve pigmentation concerns such as age spots.

However, the appropriate treatment method varies depending on the type and depth of the blemish.

For dark spots, other treatments such as pico spot may be considered.

 

2) Care for dullness and uneven skin tone

Pigmentation caused by ultraviolet rays and other factors is one of the reasons why skin can appear dull.

Pico toning addresses dullness and uneven skin tone caused by pigmentation, aiming for a more even skin tone.

The effects vary from person to person, and multiple treatments may be necessary.

 

3) Care for hyperpigmentation from acne scars

After acne inflammation subsides, brown discoloration may remain.

Pico toning is one of the treatments considered for managing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

However, for acne scars that are red or have uneven texture, a different treatment may be more appropriate.

3. Price and downtime of pico toning

1) Price of Korean Pico Toning

The cost of pico toning in Korea varies depending on the clinic, the treatment area, and the number of sessions.

Maypure is offering a special event price of 40,000 won for one Pico Toning treatment in Korea.

However, event prices may vary depending on the period and participating clinics, so be sure to check the latest information before making a reservation.

 

2) Downtime and side effects

Pico toning is considered a treatment with a relatively short downtime.

However, temporary redness and dryness may occur, and there is a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.

After the treatment, avoid rubbing your skin and be sure to moisturize and protect it from UV rays.

4. Things to know before getting pico toning in South Korea

1) Number of treatments and intervals between them

Pico toning may require multiple treatments, depending on the condition of your skin.

At Maypure, we recommend 5 to 10 treatments at one-week intervals as a guideline.

However, the number of treatments and intervals required will vary depending on the type of blemish and your skin condition, so you should consult with a doctor to determine the appropriate number of treatments.

 

2) Post-treatment skincare

After pico toning, your skin may temporarily become dry or sensitive.

When washing your face, avoid rubbing too hard and focus on gentle, moisturizing care.

It's also important to use sunscreen when going outside to prevent the worsening of hyperpigmentation caused by ultraviolet rays.

 

3) Points to note when taking the test during your trip to South Korea

If you're planning to get pico toning during your trip to South Korea, be sure to consider your post-treatment plans.

Depending on the condition of your skin after the treatment, you may need to avoid prolonged outdoor activities or using harsh skincare products.

It's reassuring to confirm in advance about post-return care and any necessary additional treatments.

5. Q&A

Q1. Is pico toning in Korea effective after just one session?

Some people notice a difference after just one treatment, but the effects vary from person to person.

Depending on the type of blemish and the degree of hyperpigmentation, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary.

 

Q2. Can I apply makeup immediately after pico toning?

Depending on your skin condition, you may be able to apply makeup from the day of the procedure.

However, if you experience symptoms such as redness, do not force yourself to continue and follow the post-treatment instructions.
