"If I get Pico Toning,

will my melasma really fade?"

Many people are curious about this.

They also want to know whether it really works

and, if so, how much improvement they can expect.

In fact, the results vary from person to person,

so it is difficult to make definite statements.

However, the degree of effectiveness

can be confirmed to some extent through clinical research.

Today, we will look at how much melasma fades

through an actual clinical research paper.

How does Pico Toning

fade melasma?

Melasma is a condition in which

an excessive amount of melanin pigment

has accumulated in the skin.

Normal skin on the left, melasma-affected skin on the right

Pico Toning delivers the laser

in extremely short bursts,

measured in picoseconds.

Because the laser is delivered in bursts lasting

as little as one-trillionth of a second,

it leaves less heat in the surrounding skin

while breaking the pigment into very small particles.

That is why it is used to reduce pigment

while minimizing heat-related irritation.

How much does melasma actually fade?

A study applied Pico Toning

to Asian women with melasma.

A paper on Pico Toning

After two treatments given four weeks apart,

the severity of melasma was evaluated using scores.

The more severe the melasma, the higher the score.

The average score decreased from 10.9 to 6.3,

a reduction of approximately 40%.

Comparison of melasma scores

Looking at the melasma scores in more detail,

the area affected by melasma

decreased from 10.6 to 7.0,

Comparison of melasma-affected areas

while the darkness of the melasma

also decreased from 6.4 to 4.6.

Comparison of melasma intensity

Finally, the study examined

how evenly the melasma was distributed.

The uniformity score also decreased from 5.9 to 4.1.

Comparison of melasma uniformity

In other words, the affected area became smaller,

the color became lighter,

and the previously distinct pattern became less defined.

Do you really need 10 Pico Toning sessions?

"The paper showed improvement after just two sessions...

Do I really need 10 sessions?"

You may have often heard

that 10 sessions are needed

to treat melasma in general.

After seeing that melasma faded

after two treatments in the study,

we hope you will not conclude

that you only need a few sessions.

First, it was a small study

that followed only eight people

for approximately eight weeks.

Also, if treatment is continued,

the rate of improvement may not

remain the same.

Most importantly, the cells that produce melanin

remain alive in people with melasma,

so the condition can easily return

when stimulated by ultraviolet rays or hormones.

Therefore, rather than thinking

that treatment can be completed quickly

after just two or three sessions,

we hope you will think of it as treatment

provided over a sufficient number of sessions

while minimizing irritation,

followed by ongoing maintenance care.

Jamsil Pico Toning is not a treatment

that removes melasma all at once.

As mentioned at the beginning,

the results vary from person to person,

so it is difficult to make definite promises.

However, the study results confirmed

the effectiveness of Pico Toning.

Therefore, if your melasma is treated

over a sufficient number of sessions,

with irritation minimized according to its condition,

you may see improvement.
