Pico Toning, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Unique Features

1. Ultrafine Pigment Decomposition in Picosecond Units

Pico Toning is a procedure that uses extremely short laser pulses, in picosecond (one trillionth of a second) units, to break down melanin pigment even more finely.

At our clinic, we don't just apply strong energy; we prioritize precise parameter control to reduce skin irritation while more uniformly and finely breaking down pigments.

2. Customized Pico Toning Considering Pigment Type and Skin Depth

Melasma, blemishes, freckles, and ABNOM (Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-like Macules) each have different depths and reaction characteristics.

At our clinic, we approach pigments sensitive to stimulation, such as melasma, more gently, while for dermal pigments like ABNOM, we apply higher energy and intensive treatment when necessary.

When multiple types of pigments are present, we apply different outputs and irradiation methods to each area for meticulous treatment.

3. Real-time Skin Response Monitoring and Immediate Adjustment

Pico Toning is not just a procedure of simply irradiating with equipment.

During the procedure, the medical staff directly monitors the skin's reaction and immediately adjusts parameters such as spot size, energy intensity, and irradiation area as needed.

We proceed by checking the skin condition with the patient in the mirror, aiming for a customized treatment tailored to the actual skin condition, rather than a merely perfunctory toning.

4. Precise Pigment Analysis Using Mark-Vu

We meticulously analyze the depth and distribution of pigments, which are difficult to distinguish accurately with the naked eye, using the Mark-Vu skin diagnostic device.

Since the treatment approach can vary depending on whether the pigment is epidermal or dermal, we establish a treatment plan based on objective skin data.

5. Complex Pigment Treatment-Centered Approach, Not Just Simple Whitening

If melasma, ABNOM, and blemishes coexist, strong treatment with a single method can make the pigments more sensitive.

Our clinic considers the skin condition, reducing irritation while applying different approaches for each type of pigment.

We proceed with the treatment in a way that considers both skin condition recovery and pigment improvement.

The Uniqueness of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Pico Toning

Pico Toning is a pigment treatment method that delivers high energy in a much shorter time than conventional nanosecond lasers, breaking down pigments even more finely.

It is particularly effective for various pigmented lesions such as melasma, blemishes, freckles, and ABNOM, and can be expected to improve both skin tone and overall skin clarity.

However, Pico Toning is not a procedure where results are determined solely by the 'equipment name'.

Energy intensity and irradiation method must vary depending on the type of pigment, skin sensitivity, and the degree of melanin activity.

1. Micro Pigment Decomposition Using Ultrafast Lasers

Pico Toning is characterized by using extremely short irradiation times in picosecond units to break down pigment particles more finely and uniformly.

Since energy is concentrated in a short period, it can reduce the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues while still providing pigment treatment.

At our clinic, we meticulously adjust output intensity, irradiation speed, spot size, and other parameters according to the skin condition to minimize skin irritation.

2. Customized Pico Toning Treatment by Condition

1) Melasma

Melasma involves a highly sensitive state of melanocytes, so excessive stimulation can actually worsen the pigmentation.

At our clinic, after analyzing the extent and depth of melasma with the Mark-Vu diagnostic device, we proceed with Pico Toning in a way that considers the skin's reaction and reduces irritation.

We use short pulses in picosecond units to finely break down melanosomes, aiming for gradual improvement while minimizing skin irritation.

During the treatment, we check the skin's reaction with the patient in the mirror and immediately adjust the output and irradiation range if necessary.

2) ABNOM (Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-like Macules)

ABNOM is a pigmented lesion located deep in the dermal layer, often requiring higher energy and a more precise approach than typical epidermal pigments.

Especially when melasma is present, a delicate approach is required for melasma, while a more intensive approach is needed for ABNOM. Therefore, precise parameter adjustment by medical professionals is crucial.

At our clinic, we customize the spot size, energy intensity, and number of shots, considering the patient's skin type and pigment depth.

3) Freckles · Sunspots · Other Pigmentary Disorders

While freckles and sunspots are relatively quick-responding pigmentary disorders, managing irritation is extremely important when melasma is also present.

Instead of simply applying strong irradiation, we monitor the skin's reaction in real-time and, if necessary, change the handpiece or finely adjust parameters during the procedure.

Understanding Pico Toning

Pico Toning is a pigment treatment that uses extremely short laser energy in picosecond units to finely break down melanin pigments.

Because the irradiation time is shorter than traditional laser toning, it can break down pigment particles more finely and help reduce thermal damage to surrounding tissues.

Through this, you can expect improvement in various pigmentary disorders such as melasma, freckles, sunspots, and ABNOM, along with overall skin tone improvement.

A Message from the Director

I believe that pigment treatment is not just a procedure of applying laser, but rather, it's crucial how meticulously one analyzes and adjusts the skin condition.

Especially pigmentary disorders like melasma cannot be resolved with strong treatments alone. It's important to precisely deliver the necessary energy while minimizing skin irritation.

Our clinic carefully observes each patient's individual skin response, striving to provide personalized pigment treatment, not just a simple procedure.

Post-Treatment Precautions

• You may wash your face and apply light makeup starting from the day of the procedure.

• It is important to diligently apply sunscreen.

• After the procedure, your skin may temporarily become red or dry, so we recommend focusing on moisturizing and soothing care.

• It is advisable to avoid strong scrubs or irritating treatments for a certain period.

• If redness or sensitivity persists for a long time, please consult with the medical staff.
