[Pigmentation, Pores, Regeneration King] Pico Triple Toning

Pico Toning, Kkeut Clinic's Unique Features

1. Ultra-fine Pigment Decomposition in Picosecond Units

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

At our clinic, we emphasize precise parameter adjustment to uniformly break down pigments into finer particles while minimizing skin irritation, rather than simply applying strong energy.

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 irritation-sensitive pigments like melasma more gently, and for dermal pigments, we apply higher energy and intensive treatment when necessary.

When multiple types of pigments are present, we carefully perform the procedure by applying different output levels 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 monitor the skin's reaction and immediately adjust 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 treatment tailored to the actual skin condition, not just a perfunctory toning.

4. Precise Pigment Analysis Using JANUS Pro

We precisely 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 may 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 and blemishes are present simultaneously, strong treatment with a single method can make the pigments more sensitive.

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

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

The Special Features 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 more finely.

It is particularly used for various pigmentary disorders such as melasma, blemishes, and freckles, and you can expect both skin tone improvement and overall skin clarity enhancement.

However, pico toning is not a procedure where the results are determined simply by the “equipment name” alone.

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

1. Fine Pigment Decomposition Using Ultrafast Lasers

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

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

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

2. Customized Pico Toning Treatment by Condition

1) Melasma

Melasma is a condition where melanocytes themselves are very 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 minimizes irritation, considering the skin's reaction.

Using short pulses in picosecond units, we finely break down melanosomes, aiming for gradual improvement while reducing skin irritation.

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

2) Blemishes · Freckles · Other Pigmentary Disorders

While blemishes and freckles are pigmentary disorders that respond relatively quickly, when melasma is also present, irritation control is extremely important.

At our clinic, rather than simply applying strong irradiation, we monitor skin reactions in real-time. If necessary, we change handpieces or finely adjust parameters to perform the treatment.

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 it can help reduce thermal damage transmitted to surrounding tissues.

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

Pico Dual Toning: Kkeuthan Clinic's Unique Approach

Dual Toning, The Specialty of Kkeuthan Clinic

Simply combining Pico Toning and Genesis Toning does not guarantee the same treatment effects for everyone.

Our Pico Dual Toning meticulously analyzes each patient's individual skin condition to create an optimized, customized plan,

helping to achieve more precise and effective improvements.

Rather than simply focusing on the number of treatments or the name of the equipment,

we comprehensively consider complex issues such as pigment depth and distribution, skin reactions, and concerns like elasticity, redness, and pores.

Based on this, we classify patients into a total of five types to determine the appropriate treatment direction for each individual.

① Pigment-Centric Type: Skin primarily showing melasma, blemishes, and epidermal pigmentation

This is diagnosed as a case where melanin pigments are concentrated in the epidermal layer.

For such skin, intensive treatment using Pico Toning may be necessary.

The focus is on achieving a clear and even skin tone.

② Complex Type: Skin where melasma and redness are observed together

This is a case where dermal pigmentation is accompanied by vascular redness.

Rather than strong stimulation, it is important to irradiate broadly with low output, inducing a gradual skin reaction.

This approach is worth considering for those with sensitive skin or who have not seen significant results from past treatments.

③ Redness-Centric Type: Skin with prominent redness around the cheeks or nose

This skin condition is characterized by micro-vascular dilation, a sensation of heat, and sensitive redness.

In this case, by repeatedly irradiating with a high-output Genesis laser,

it can help stabilize blood vessels and restore the skin barrier.

④ Fine Lines Type: Skin that is thin, dry, and has many fine lines

This type is characterized by a lack of moisture, rough skin texture, and decreased elasticity.

By deeply and broadly overlapping Genesis toning treatments,

the aim is to promote collagen production in the dermal layer and improve skin texture.

⑤ Pore-Centric Type: Skin with concerns about acne scars and enlarged pores

This may be a condition characterized by reduced elasticity around the pores or the appearance of scars.

At this time, a treatment method that utilizes deep thermal stimulation to induce skin remodeling may be considered.

*Pico Dual Toning: Why Kkeut Han Clinic Chooses It

Kkeut Han Clinic's Pico Dual Toning

does not simply mean a combination treatment using two types of lasers together.

1. Depth and degree of pigment deposition

2. Skin type sensitivity and recovery ability

3. Complex factors such as elasticity, redness, and pores

Carefully considering all these factors,

we plan the laser wavelength, output intensity, type of handpiece used, and even the number of shots, all customized for each individual.

Establishing a treatment plan perfectly tailored to each individual.

This is the special advantage of Kkeut Han Clinic's Dual Toning.

───────────────

Cases to Consider the Procedure

• Those who feel that toning alone is insufficient and expect simultaneous improvement in pores and skin texture.
• Those who wish to reduce the burden of procedures with fewer sessions while still expecting improvement.
• Those with deep skin concerns due to darkened melasma and various pigmentations.

───────────────

Procedure Process

• STEP 01. Cleansing
• STEP 02. 1:1 Customized Consultation and Procedure

───────────────

Precautions After Procedure

• Cleansing and makeup are possible on the day of the procedure. It is recommended to pay careful attention to UV protection.
• After the procedure, soothing and moisturizing care is more important than usual for temporarily irritated skin.
• Temporary swelling or redness may appear in the treated area. This usually subsides naturally over time, so there is no need to worry excessively. However, if symptoms persist for more than a few days, it is advisable to contact the clinic for consultation.

What is Melasma, Not Just Blemishes?

Melasma differs from the simple phenomenon of excessive melanin production causing skin pigmentation.

Melanocytes, pigment cells that produce melanin in the deeper parts of the skin, become abnormally activated.

The produced melanin pigment spreads over a wide area and shows a pattern of recurring appearance.

This can be understood as a complex pigmentation disorder that affects the dermal layer and persists for a long time.

In particular, external factors such as UV exposure and hormonal changes act as important causes that stimulate melanocytes.

At this time, subtle inflammatory reactions and vascular-related factors within the skin complexly influence each other.

Unlike typical mole formations, it has the characteristic of pigment spreading in a blurry, wide pattern.

Histologically, the number of melanocytes may be within the normal range,

but the cell size increases, and dendrites, the dendritic structures that transfer melanin to the surroundings, distinctly expand.

As a result, melanin pigment is more widely transferred to surrounding skin cells.

Furthermore, in some cases, subtle capillary dilation or flushing reactions may accompany melasma lesions.

This pattern is sometimes separately classified and described as 'vascular melasma'.

Rather than viewing melasma as a standalone disease, it's more about the skin reacting sensitively to external stimuli,

and can be considered a result that appears due to various stimuli in a structurally unstable skin condition.

Therefore, rather than merely removing pigment, a treatment approach that addresses both the fundamental cause of melasma and the structural problems of the skin is crucial.

While Pico Dual Toning can be effective for general pigmentary disorders, the need for Pico Dual Toning is especially emphasized in melasma treatment compared to general toning.
