What Are the Principle and Effects of Pico Toning That Breaks Pigment Into Tiny Pieces?

Hello.

I am Director Choi Won-woo, a dermatologist with 23 years of experience.

If you are looking into dermatology clinics near Apgujeong because of pigment concerns such as melasma or blemishes, you may have come across the word “pico” at least once. There are various devices available for pigment management, but the one that has recently been drawing attention is undoubtedly “Picolight Black.”

The reason this device is gaining so much popularity in dermatology clinics is not simply because it is a “new machine,” but because its fundamental approach to pigment is different from that of existing devices.

So let’s take a deeper look at how Picolight Black works and what effects it can produce.

An innovation in pigment treatment in Apgujeong: What is Picolight Black?

Many people feel stressed by darkening blemishes every time they look in the mirror, but the reason they hesitate to undergo treatment is often pain or a long recovery period.

Picolight Black is a device that applies picosecond technology, which achieves the astonishing speed of one trillionth of a second. It is a safe pigment laser approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and its key feature is that it concentrates high peak power in an extremely short time to break pigment into fine particles.

Going beyond simply removing pigment, it offers a level of satisfaction that is on a different level from existing methods by allowing selective treatment of only the targeted area while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.

The principle of toning that pulverizes pigment like grains of sand at 1,000 times faster speed

The core principle of pico toning, which many people are curious about, lies in “speed.” Compared with the nanosecond devices commonly used in the past, Picolight Black boasts an irradiation speed that is about 1,000 times faster.

Why does this difference in speed matter? To put it simply, while conventional methods broke pigment into large “pebble” sizes, the latest pico laser splits pigment particles into extremely fine “sand” or even “dust” levels and disperses them. These finely fragmented pigment particles are then much more easily and quickly eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.

Although the energy is stronger, the irradiation time is shorter, so it has a smart mechanism that increases effectiveness while lowering the risk of side effects.

Personalized pigment care completed with hybrid pico wavelengths

The pigment in our skin varies in depth, shape, and color. Therefore, rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment, a customized approach based on the lesion is essential.

Picolight Black uses two hybrid wavelengths, 532nm and 1064nm, to precisely address pigment at various layers.

• 532nm wavelength: Primarily responds to red and yellow pigments located in the superficial layers of the skin. It has excellent melanin absorption and is effective for blemishes and light-colored tattoo treatment.

• 1064nm wavelength: Penetrates deep into the dermis and is used for black pigment deposition or tattoo removal.

Thanks to this dual-wavelength system, it is possible not only to improve mixed melasma and blemishes, but also to remove difficult color tattoos.

In addition, through the principle of creating microscopic cavities in the dermis (the LIOB phenomenon), it induces collagen regeneration, so you can also expect additional effects such as pore tightening, improvement of fine wrinkles, and smoother skin texture, which is why patient satisfaction at dermatology clinics in Apgujeong is very high.

The situations that require professional pico toning treatment are more varied than you might think. If you are dealing with any of the concerns below, Picolight Black may be necessary.

✔️ Those who are not satisfied with standard laser toning

✔️ Those concerned not only with melasma and blemishes, but also with dark pigmentation

✔️ Those who want smoother skin texture along with an overall whitening effect

✔️ Those who are sensitive to pain during procedures and prefer a more comfortable treatment

✔️ Those who need to return to daily life immediately after the procedure due to a busy schedule

✔️ Those who want to remove old tattoos cleanly without worrying about scars

As such, pico lasers can be broadly applied regardless of the type of pigment disorder, and are especially suitable for those who want a clear change while reducing skin irritation.

Lastly, here are the questions we are asked most often before treatment.

Q. How much pain is involved during the procedure?

A. Although it varies from person to person, the pain is usually minimal enough that the procedure can be done without numbing cream, so it can be received without much burden.

Q. How long does the procedure take and how often is it done?

A. It varies by area, but it usually takes a short time of about 5 to 20 minutes. The interval is generally every 1 to 4 weeks and is adjusted according to each person’s skin condition.

Q. Does it interfere with daily life after the procedure?

A. There is little disruption, to the extent that you can wash your face and apply makeup on the same day. However, after the procedure, please apply sunscreen carefully, and it is best to be cautious with actions that generate heat in the skin, such as saunas, steam rooms, and drinking alcohol.
