"I’m worried about melasma and spots...

Can I just get Picotoning?"

These days, there are many people who come into the consultation room asking this, since they hear that Picotoning is effective for melasma and spots.

To be honest, the answer is both yes and no.

You may wonder what kind of answer that is, but there is no single correct answer when it comes to treating melasma or spots.

The right approach differs depending on the skin, so each case has to be handled differently.

So today, let’s talk about which pigments Picotoning is effective for, and how the approach should differ depending on spots and melasma.

How does Picotoning improve pigmentation?

Picotoning is a procedure that delivers laser energy in picosecond units.

A picosecond is one trillionth of a second, which is about 1,000 times faster than conventional nanosecond lasers.

Why is such a fast speed important for pigment treatment?

When the speed is faster, the laser stays in contact with the skin for a shorter time, reducing heat damage. Instead, strong shock waves are generated, breaking melanin pigment into very fine particles.

These finely broken pigment particles can be processed more easily by the body’s immune cells. As a result, pigment removal becomes more efficient while skin damage is reduced.

How should spots and melasma be approached?

Many people think spots and melasma are similar, but in fact they have different causes and require different treatment methods.

Spots are usually located closer to the skin surface, so their borders are relatively clear. These spots respond well to Picotoning.

Depending on the amount of spotting, visible improvement can usually be expected after about 5 sessions.

Melasma, on the other hand, is different.

In addition to ultraviolet rays, various factors such as hormones, heat, and stress work together to trigger melasma.

Moreover, the pigment is often located deep within the dermis.

For that reason, melasma can sometimes be difficult to fully resolve with Picotoning alone.

To see results, Picotoning often needs to be combined with other lasers, oral medication, topical medication, and lifestyle improvements.

If you want to see results

If you want effective treatment for pigmentation such as melasma or spots, the first step is to accurately identify what type of pigmentation you have.

That is because the treatment plan changes depending on whether it is spots, melasma, or a mix of both.

Even if they look similar to the naked eye, a precise diagnostic device such as Mark-Vu often shows that the depth and distribution are different.

The next thing needed is patience.

Pigment treatments including Picotoning do not produce results after just one session.

You need to receive treatment consistently about 5 to 10 times at 1- to 2-week intervals before you can feel the changes.

Therefore, we hope you continue treatment according to the interval recommended by the medical staff.

Lastly, you should be careful about UV protection during the procedure.

After treatment, the skin is in a weakened state, so if it is directly exposed to ultraviolet rays, the skin produces more melanin to protect itself.

This can make the skin darker, so please be sure to pay attention to sun protection.

Today, we talked about whether Jamsil Picotoning is the right answer for treating melasma and spots.

Picotoning is one of the procedures effective for pigmentation concerns. In other words, it may be the right answer for some people, but not for others.

Therefore, if you are concerned about pigmentation on your skin, we recommend starting with a careful diagnosis.
