For concerns about blemishes, dark spots, and freckles, Pico Laser!
When I look in the mirror, I get worried
About blemishes and freckles
Hello.
I am Director Kim Ha-won.
Today, I am going to provide detailed information about
the Pico Laser, which many people are curious about.
The Pico Laser
can care for various pigment problems
all at once.
Thanks to this, it is known as
a procedure that creates a bright and even skin tone.
The working principle of the Pico Laser
The Pico Laser operates
in units called 'picoseconds'.
This is an incredibly short time of
one trillionth of a second.
This ultra-fast energy
is delivered into the skin.
So it accurately locates
only the pigmented areas
and breaks them down into fine particles.
The surrounding healthy skin tissue
is barely affected.
This is because it selectively destroys
only the melanin pigment.
Therefore, there is less pain
when receiving the treatment.
The recovery speed is also
notably fast.
Why is it effective for various types of pigment problems?
The Pico Laser
has one major strength.
It precisely targets and decomposes
only melanin pigment.
It almost does not irritate
normal skin areas.
So it can effectively treat superficial blemishes
and also dark spots and freckles deep within the skin.
The ability to improve a wide range of pigments
is its biggest advantage.
What happens to the pigment particles
that are crushed by the laser?
👉 Our body's immune cells gradually absorb them.
And they are naturally
excreted from the body.
So the results improve
over time, rather than just after the treatment.
You can feel the change of
having a brighter and more even skin tone.
The stimulation on the skin is
minimized.
However, the effects are
noticeable over a wide range.
Therefore, it is great for those who have
complicated pigment concerns.
Reasons why pigmentation is
more pronounced during the changing seasons
🍂 The skin barrier weakens
Problems arise due to
the dry air during transitional seasons.
As the skin barrier breaks down,
it creates an environment where
melanin is produced more easily.
🍂 UV damage accumulates
The accumulated
UV damage from summer
becomes more apparent in autumn.
It appears on the skin surface,
making the pigmentation look darker.
🍂 Changes occur in the regeneration rhythm
The skin's turnover,
or regeneration cycle,
becomes irregular, causing issues.
The process of naturally excreting pigments
becomes less smooth.
🍂 Sebum production decreases
When the skin's defenses weaken,
the melanin-producing
cells can become even more active.
What is the treatment process like?
🩺 1:1 Personalized Consultation
First, through a consultation time with a specialist,
various aspects will be assessed.
What specific areas of
freckles, blemishes, and dark spots
are you most concerned about?
Also, what outcomes
you desire will be carefully confirmed.
When consulting at Hongdae Acne Dermatology,
you can provide details about your skin type
and usual care routine for a more accurate diagnosis.
🩺 Markview Skin Precision Diagnosis
Skin tone, depth of pigmentation,
condition of pores, elasticity, etc.,
are measured precisely.
Then, an optimized treatment plan
is established for the individual.
🩺 Actual Treatment Process
If necessary,
an anesthetic cream is applied before
the treatment takes place.
It usually takes
about 10 to 20 minutes.
🩺 Recovery Stage
After the treatment,
there might be slight redness or
a tingling sensation.
However, in most cases,
it settles down quickly before
the day is over.
The fact that there is almost no downtime is
a significant advantage.
Treatment Frequency and
When Effects Appear
📅 Treatment Frequency
Usually, it is performed at intervals of
2 to 4 weeks.
📅 When Effects Begin
From the 2nd to 3rd session,
the pigmentation begins to lighten and
the skin tone starts to improve.
📅 Stable Effects
After consistently performing more than 5 sessions,
the effects become firmly established.
📅 For Persistent Freckles and Dark Spots
Because there is a possibility of recurrence,
long-term
management of more than 10 sessions may be required.
📅 Duration of Effects
Although there are individual differences,
the effects last for about
6 months to 1 year.
I hope the information about the Pico Laser introduced today will help alleviate some of your curiosity.
Concerns related to pigments such as dark spots and freckles vary greatly from person to person.
Therefore, it is recommended to establish a plan that fits your skin condition through consultation with an expert.
When seeking a dermatology clinic, it is best to confirm the treatment experience, equipment,
and aftercare system thoroughly.
If this article has helped even a little with maintaining healthy and clear skin, I would be delighted.
Thank you!
Kim Ha-won.
