Pico Toning, Kkeut Clinic's Unique Features

1. Ultra-fine Pigment Breakdown using Picosecond Units

Pico toning is a procedure that uses extremely short laser pulses, measured in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second), to break down melanin pigments even more finely.

At our clinic, we emphasize precise parameter control rather than simply applying strong energy. This allows us to reduce skin irritation while breaking down pigments more uniformly and finely.

2. Customized Pico Toning Considering Pigment Type and Skin Depth

Melasma, blemishes, and freckles each have different depths and response characteristics.

At our clinic, we approach pigments sensitive to irritation, such as melasma, more gently. For dermal pigments, we apply higher energy and concentrated treatment when necessary.

When multiple types of pigments are present together, we meticulously apply different power outputs and irradiation methods to each area.

3. Real-time Skin Response Monitoring and Immediate Adjustment

Pico toning is not merely a procedure of irradiating with equipment.

During the procedure, medical staff directly observe the skin's response and immediately adjust the spot size, energy intensity, and treatment area as needed.

We proceed by checking the skin condition with the patient using a mirror, aiming for a customized treatment tailored to the actual skin condition, rather than a routine toning procedure.

4. Precise Pigment Analysis Using JANUS Pro

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

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

5. Integrated Pigment Treatment Approach, Not Just Simple Whitening

If melasma and blemishes are present simultaneously, strong treatment with a single method can make the pigments even more sensitive.

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

We proceed with treatments that consider both skin condition recovery and pigment improvement.

The Uniqueness of Kkeut 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 pigmentary disorders such as melasma, blemishes, and freckles, and can be expected to improve skin tone and overall skin clarity.

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

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

1. Micro Pigment Breakdown Using Ultrafast Lasers

Pico toning is characterized by using extremely short pulse durations, measured in picoseconds, to break down pigment particles into smaller, more uniform pieces.

Because energy is concentrated for a short period, pigment treatment can be expected while reducing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues.

At our clinic, we strive to minimize skin irritation by precisely adjusting output intensity, irradiation speed, spot size, and other parameters according to the skin condition.

2. Customized Pico Toning Treatment by Condition

1) Melasma

Melasma is a condition where melanocytes themselves are highly sensitive, so excessive stimulation can actually worsen the pigmentation.

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

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

During the treatment, we observe the skin's response with the patient using a mirror and, if necessary, immediately adjust the output and treatment area.

2) Blemishes · Freckles · Other Pigmentary Disorders

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

At our clinic, rather than simply applying strong irradiation, we observe the skin's reaction in real-time, changing handpieces or finely adjusting parameters as needed during the procedure.

Understanding Pico Toning

Pico toning is a pigment treatment that uses very 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, ABNOM, along with an overall improvement in skin tone.

Pico Toning Procedure Steps

STEP 1.

We precisely analyze the depth and distribution of pigments using JANUS Pro.

STEP 2.

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

STEP 3.

Pico toning parameters are set according to skin type and pigment condition.

STEP 4.

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

STEP 5.

After the procedure, we collaboratively check the skin condition and provide guidance on future care.

A Message from the Director

I believe that pigment treatment is not just about applying laser, but rather how finely the skin condition is analyzed and controlled.

Particularly, pigmentary disorders like melasma cannot be solved with strong treatments alone; it is crucial to precisely deliver the necessary energy while minimizing skin irritation.

Our clinic carefully observes the skin reaction of each and every patient, striving to provide personalized pigment treatment rather than a simple procedure.

Post-Procedure Precautions

• Cleansing and light makeup are possible from the day of the procedure.

• It is important to diligently use sunscreen.

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

• It is best to avoid strong scrubs or irritating procedures for a certain period.

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