FEATURES

  • What is Pico Toning?

    Pico toning is a treatment that reduces melanin pigments through the shockwaves of a low-output laser, making freckles, spots, melasma, and dullness less noticeable. Pico toning has a high melanin absorption rate and easily reacts with melanin pigments, allowing for the pulverization of even smaller pigment particles that could not be destroyed by conventional lasers. This means it can address small spots that were previously untreatable with laser therapy.

    With pico toning, melanin pigments are gradually broken down and expelled with repeated treatments, and it is characterized by the ability to feel the effects with fewer treatment sessions than conventional lasers. Furthermore, it is a laser treatment that can be applied not only to spots and freckles on the face but also to darkening of the nipples and areolas.

  • Can Approach Melasma, Which Was Difficult to Remove with Conventional Laser Treatment

    Melasma is a type of light brown pigment patch that appears on both cheeks, under the nose, and on the chin. It is characterized by indistinct outlines and symmetrical appearance, and is often seen in women in their 30s and 40s. For common spots, the mainstream treatment method involves intensively irradiating and destroying melanin pigments with a high-output laser, but this is contraindicated for melasma. This is because melasma is sensitive to stimulation, and strong lasers can stimulate melanocytes in melasma, activating melanin production and potentially worsening the symptoms.

    Pico toning is a treatment that can cover these risks. Since it involves uniform and wide-area irradiation with a low-output laser, it is possible to aim for melasma removal without stimulating melanocytes. It is attracting high attention in the cosmetic medical industry as an innovative treatment method that can address melasma other than oral medication.

  • Short Irradiation Time and Less Heat Damage to the Skin

    The "pico" in picosecond laser refers to a unit of time meaning one trillionth of a second. Pico toning is a treatment method that performs irradiation in picoseconds, achieving instantaneous irradiation 1,000 times faster than the conventional fastest nanosecond laser. Because the treatment is performed in a very short irradiation time, there is less pain, and it can even be performed without anesthesia. Furthermore, it is characterized by less heat damage to the surrounding skin because it precisely destroys only the targeted melanin pigments with shockwaves. Less heat damage means less post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scabbing, and almost no downtime.

    BIANCA CLINIC's pico toning uses PicoSure® from Cynosure, a US-based top manufacturer of medical lasers. PicoSure has obtained FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approval in a wide range of fields including spots, wrinkles, and acne scars. If you desire spot treatment with less downtime or wish to try advanced spot treatment, please feel free to consult us.

  • Downtime after Pico Toning

    Redness may appear for several hours after the procedure. Individual differences may lead to risks such as depigmentation, hyperpigmentation, or blistering.

Treatment Benefits

  • Benefit 1: Visible changes with fewer treatment sessions.

    Pico toning can break down pigment particles more finely than conventional lasers. Because it reacts easily with melanin pigments, it can help resolve skin concerns with fewer treatment sessions.

  • Benefit 2: Short treatment time, easy for busy people to receive.

    The approximate irradiation time for pico toning is only about 15-20 minutes. The treatment is completed in a short time, including finishing touches, taking about 30 minutes, so even busy people can utilize their spare time to receive the treatment.

  • Benefit 3: Treatment designed with skin burden in mind, resulting in less downtime.

    Since it is a low-output laser with very short irradiation time, there is less burden on the skin and almost no downtime. Therefore, you can quickly return to your daily life.

FAQ

Q When can I apply makeup after Pico Toning treatment?
A

You can apply makeup on the same day you receive pico toning treatment.

Q Will I experience redness or swelling after Pico Toning treatment?
A

Redness, slight swelling, and stinging may appear for several days after the treatment. Also, depending on your skin condition, blisters or breakouts may appear, or the irradiated area may temporarily darken, but these symptoms usually subside over time. If you experience any concerning symptoms after the treatment, please feel free to consult our clinic for an examination.

Q How much pain is there during Pico Toning treatment?
A

Pico toning uses a low-output laser, so you may feel a slight stinging or tingling sensation during irradiation, but it is not unbearable. Please consult us if you are concerned.

Q When can I shower or bathe after Pico Toning treatment?
A

Both showering and bathing are possible from the same day of the treatment.

Q Are there any precautions for after Pico Toning treatment?
A

Your skin tends to be dry after treatment, so please moisturize thoroughly with lotion and emulsion. Also, sun exposure to the treated area can cause hyperpigmentation, so thorough UV protection is important. Additionally, avoid activities that promote blood circulation, such as strenuous exercise, sauna, and alcohol consumption, on the day of the treatment, as they may prolong downtime.

Q Can I receive Pico Toning treatment if I have a suntan?
A

Individuals who have tanned within 4 weeks of the treatment day cannot receive pico toning. The laser may react strongly to tanned skin, increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation and burns.

Q When can I expect to see the effects of Pico Laser?
A

Some individuals may notice changes in their skin after one pico laser treatment, but greater effects can be expected with repeated treatments. Our clinic recommends 10 to 20 sessions, once every 2 to 4 weeks.

Q Is it okay to have Pico Toning treatment many times?
A

There is no particular limit to the number of treatment sessions. Pico toning is a treatment where greater effects can be expected with repeated sessions. Even after your concerns have improved, we recommend receiving regular treatments to maintain good skin condition. Our clinic offers 10-session and 20-session courses. However, the appropriate treatment interval varies individually depending on your skin condition, so please consult with a doctor regarding your treatment plan.

Q Is it true that Pico Toning treatment reverses if you stop?
A

If you stop pico toning treatment midway, the skin condition in the areas that have already shown effects will not revert to its original state. However, since pico toning is not a treatment that destroys melanocytes (cells that produce melanin pigments), new spots or freckles may appear due to lifestyle habits or aging. To prevent recurrence, it is important to practice thorough UV protection and consistent skincare.
