Jamsil Pico Toning: How much can it help remove melasma, age spots, freckles, and lentigines?

“I have pretty dark melasma, and I also have age spots,

so I’m thinking about toning.

But I’m worried because I heard that laser or toning treatments can actually make it darker,

so is Pico Toning any better?”

If you’ve had laser treatment before and experienced worse post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or if you’ve heard failure stories from people around you, you may feel hesitant about the procedure itself.

However, facial pigmentation concerns come in many different forms, such as melasma, age spots, freckles, and lentigines, and there are also various devices and treatment methods used to remove them.

When you hear that, it makes you think the reason may have been that the wrong method was used for your skin, and that the effect may not have been very noticeable.

Today, among the many options, I’d like to talk about Pico Toning, which can be used relatively broadly for pigmentation concerns.

I’ve explained in detail how much effect Jamsil Pico Toning can have on each pigmentation concern, so if you’re worried about yours, reading through the whole post may be helpful.

Melasma removal effect

Melasma is a fairly difficult skin concern to manage.

If it is located around the boundary between the epidermis and dermis, choosing the treatment depth becomes quite tricky, and problems also arise if it is placed too deep.

Melasma is caused by a combination of factors such as ultraviolet rays, hormones, and inflammation, so once it appears, it often recurs, and if not handled properly, it can become darker.

By age group, it occurs frequently among people in their 30s to 50s, and since it is not easily removed, it can be considered a major source of distress.

Depending on the depth and extent of the melasma, Pico Toning can be used for melasma as well after a diagnosis.

Because melasma is basically caused by excess melanin pigment located in the skin, the procedure uses Pico Toning with a wavelength that responds well to melanin pigment and delivers energy quickly to the affected area.

You can think of it as energy being emitted in picosecond units, an extremely short amount of time, physically breaking down the problematic area into very small pieces and removing it.

However, depending on the type or form of melasma, another method may be more suitable, or it may need to be combined with other treatments. So if melasma is a concern, an accurate diagnosis should come first before considering a treatment plan.

Age spot removal effect

Age spots are medically called “seborrheic keratosis.”

In simple terms, they are caused by an overgrowth of keratinocytes and melanin as we age.

They usually appear limited to the epidermis, with a slightly raised surface and fairly distinct borders.

Compared with other pigmentation conditions, their color, shape, and edges are clearly defined, which makes them a structure well suited for Pico Toning energy to concentrate on.

After the procedure, scabs may temporarily form, so you should not peel them off by force and should wait until they fall off naturally for proper healing.

However, in the case of long-standing age spots that are very raised or thick, it may be necessary to remove not only the pigment but also the protruding part.

In such cases, other methods such as CO2 laser or Erbium-YAG laser, which are often used for mole removal, may need to be considered.

Freckle removal effect

Freckles tend to become darker due to genetic factors as well as excessive ultraviolet exposure.

That is why many people say their freckles seem to get worse after summer.

Freckles usually appear as small, round brown spots on the central part of the face (cheeks and nose).

Because they are located at a shallow depth, the short, powerful energy of Pico Toning works effectively.

Although it varies from person to person, freckles can usually be improved after about 3 to 5 sessions.

As with other pigmentation concerns, you also need to be extremely careful with sun protection after the procedure to avoid recurrence.

If you’ve had freckles fade and then come back over time, or if you’ve heard someone say their toning treatment failed,

1. it may not have been the right procedure for freckles,

2. sun protection may have been inconsistent,

3. or they may spend a lot of time outdoors and be exposed to sunlight all the time.

Proper aftercare can help improve treatment results, so please make sure to take sun protection seriously!

Lentigines removal effect

Lentigines are not simple pigmentation; they are a state in which melanocytes themselves have proliferated.

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them from moles or age spots just by looking, so an accurate diagnosis is very important.

If the lentigines are limited to the skin surface, removal with Pico Toning is possible.

However, if they have invaded the dermis, they may not fade well even after multiple sessions.

In such cases, a laser method that delivers stronger energy more intensively may be a better fit.

Therefore, it is important to first accurately determine the depth and form of the lentigines through a pre-treatment diagnosis.

Today, we looked at how Jamsil Pico Toning can help with various pigmentation concerns such as melasma, age spots, freckles, and lentigines.

Whenever I hear that someone diligently treated melasma or freckles in the past but it didn’t work well, I feel sorry even as a listener.

They spent time, money, and effort, only for it to end up creating distrust.

Depending on the pigmentation concern you have, the necessary treatment method, number of sessions, treatment depth, and expected results can all be different, so the first step in treatment is to receive an accurate diagnosis of what the pigmentation problem actually is.

What you thought was an age spot may actually be lentigines, and what you thought were just freckles may actually include melasma.

So if you are considering treatment, it would be best to carefully check whether the clinic thoroughly diagnoses the affected area and suggests an appropriate treatment method before making a decision.
