[Precisely targeting even fine pigments] PICOHI PICO TONING

Pico Toning, Kkeut Oriental 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 pigments even more finely.

At our clinic, we don't simply apply strong energy. Instead, we emphasize precise parameter adjustment to reduce skin irritation while breaking down pigments more uniformly and finely.

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. For dermal pigments like ABNOM, we apply higher energy and intensive treatment when necessary.

When multiple types of pigments coexist, we meticulously perform the procedure by applying different output levels and irradiation methods for each area.

3. Real-time Skin Reaction Monitoring and Immediate Adjustment

Pico Toning is not simply a procedure of applying a device.

Even during the procedure, our medical staff directly observe the skin's reaction and immediately adjust parameters such as spot size, energy intensity, and treatment area as needed.

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

4. Precise Pigment Analysis Using Mark-Vu

The Mark-Vu skin diagnostic device precisely analyzes pigment depth and distribution, which are difficult to distinguish accurately with the naked eye.

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

5. Integrated Pigment Treatment Focused Approach, Not Simple Whitening

If melasma, ABNOM, and blemishes coexist, treating them strongly with a single method can actually make the pigments more sensitive.

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

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

The Uniqueness of Pico Toning at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic

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 utilized for various pigmentary disorders such as melasma, blemishes, freckles, and ABNOM, and you can expect both improved skin tone and overall skin clarity.

However, Pico Toning is also not a procedure where results are determined simply by the 'device name'.

The energy intensity and irradiation method must be varied depending on the type of pigment, skin sensitivity, and degree of melanin activity.

1. Ultrafine 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.

Because energy is concentrated for a short period, you can expect pigment treatment while minimizing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues.

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

2. Customized Pico Toning Treatment by Condition

1) Melasma

Melasma involves melanin cells that are highly sensitive, 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.

By using short pulses in picosecond units, we finely break down melanosomes, aiming for gradual improvement while minimizing skin irritation.

Even during the procedure, we check the skin's reaction with the patient in a mirror and immediately adjust the output and irradiation area if necessary.

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

ABNOM is a pigmentary disorder 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 needed for melasma, while ABNOM requires a more intensive approach. Therefore, precise parameter adjustment by the medical staff is crucial.

At our clinic, we tailor the spot size, energy intensity, and number of shots, considering the skin type and depth of pigmentation.

3) Blemishes · Freckles · Other Pigmentary Disorders

Blemishes and freckles are relatively quick-responding pigmentary disorders, but if melasma is also present, irritation control is very important.

Instead of simply applying strong irradiation, our clinic monitors skin reactions in real-time and, if necessary, changes the handpiece or finely adjusts parameters to perform the treatment.

Understanding Pico Toning

Pico Toning is a pigmentation 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 heat damage transferred to surrounding tissues.

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

Pico Toning Treatment Process

STEP 1.

We precisely analyze the depth and distribution of pigmentation using Mark-Vu.

STEP 2.

The director personally assesses the skin condition and establishes a personalized treatment plan.

STEP 3.

Pico Toning parameters are set according to the skin type and pigmentation status.

STEP 4.

During the procedure, skin reactions are monitored, and output and irradiation range are adjusted as needed.

STEP 5.

After the procedure, we will check your skin condition together and guide you on future care methods.

A Message from Our Head Doctor

Pigment treatment isn't just about laser application; it's about meticulously analyzing and adjusting your skin's condition, which I believe is paramount.

Especially for pigment disorders like melasma, strong treatments alone are not enough. It's crucial to precisely deliver the necessary energy while minimizing skin irritation.

Our clinic carefully monitors each patient's skin response, striving to provide personalized pigment treatment rather than just a standard procedure.

Post-Treatment Precautions

• You can 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 procedures for a certain period.

• If redness or sensitivity symptoms persist for an extended period, please consult with our medical staff.
