Common questions

I have dark spots and I am in Seoul for one week. How many sessions fit into one trip?

Pico High Toning sessions are spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, so a one-week stay fits one session. Each session takes about 5 minutes, and you can wash and wear makeup the same day. The clinic recommends 5 to 10 or more sessions for a full course, and your doctor plans it with you at consultation.

Can a doctor check whether my spots are melasma before choosing a laser?

Yes. For spots that appeared in your 30s or 40s, a doctor first examines them, then chooses between Pico High or Clarity2 toning, Excel V Plus and Potenza, and agrees the plan with you. Consultation is available in English, Japanese and Chinese.

What is the difference between laser toning and Pico Toning?

Pico Toning devices emit picosecond pulses, much shorter than the nanosecond pulses of conventional laser toning devices. The very short pulses are designed to limit heat spread to surrounding tissue, and the wavelength is one that melanin responds to strongly, which allows more precise pigmentation treatment.

How long does a session take, and how long is recovery?

A Pico High Toning session takes about 5 minutes, and you can return to your daily activities right afterward.

Will my skin flake or scab?

Scabs occasionally form after Pico Toning and fine flakes may appear after Potenza. They shed naturally; do not pick at them or use scrubs.

Can melasma come back?

Melasma is a pigmentation disorder that can recur. UV protection and skin care after treatment are important.

Which skincare should I avoid afterwards?

Retinol-based anti-wrinkle products and brightening or whitening products.
