[Putting it to the Test]
Just words with nothing to show for would be boring, right?

2
00:00:02.425 --> 00:00:06.375
So, I drew some freckles and melasma on a mannequin’s face!

3
00:00:06.375 --> 00:00:08.725
[How well will the pigment disappear?]
Let’s see how quickly

4
00:00:08.725 --> 00:00:10.675
[A laser better than Pico Toning?]
we can make those spots vanish

5
00:00:12.225 --> 00:00:15.476
PD: I heard you got a machine even better than Pico Toning...

6
00:00:15.476 --> 00:00:18.526
That’s right! Word travels fast, huh?

7
00:00:18.526 --> 00:00:20.726
PD: You know I have a lot of freckles and melasma...

8
00:00:20.726 --> 00:00:22.626
PD: Could you tell us how it differs from Pico Toning?

9
00:00:22.626 --> 00:00:23.476
Alright...

10
00:00:23.476 --> 00:00:25.476
〈PicoSure Laser Pigment Test - 1. Differences between Pico Toning and PicoSure〉
It’s a bit complicated.

11
00:00:25.476 --> 00:00:27.576
You see, the meaning of "Pico"

12
00:00:27.576 --> 00:00:30.476
[Picosecond = One-trillionth of a second] *Super fast!
just refers to how fast the shots are delivered.

13
00:00:30.476 --> 00:00:34.176
[Pico Toning and PicoSure differ in wavelength]
The primary difference between Pico Toning and PicoSure lies in the wavelength.

14
00:00:34.176 --> 00:00:35.976
Think of it as a completely different kind of laser.

15
00:00:35.976 --> 00:00:37.826
The difference in wavelength is that significant.

16
00:00:37.826 --> 00:00:40.427
The wavelength we commonly refer to with Pico Toning is

17
00:00:40.427 --> 00:00:42.977
[Pico Toning wavelength: 1064nm]
1064 nm,

18
00:00:42.977 --> 00:00:46.127
[PicoSure wavelength: 755nm]
while PicoSure operates at 755 nm.

19
00:00:46.127 --> 00:00:48.527
This 755 nm wavelength in PicoSure is

20
00:00:48.527 --> 00:00:52.227
far more precise in targeting melanin, which means it’s especially effective

21
00:00:52.227 --> 00:00:54.527
at breaking down dark pigments.

22
00:00:54.527 --> 00:00:57.227
〈2. Advantages of PicoSure - 3 Modes〉
PicoSure also has other unique strengths.

23
00:00:57.227 --> 00:00:59.127
In addition to the toning function,

24
00:00:59.127 --> 00:01:00.927
it also offers a Zoom Pass mode,

25
00:01:00.927 --> 00:01:04.077
[Pico Zoom Pass - Great for deep and dark pigmentation]
which allows for more precise targeting, making it excellent for

26
00:01:04.077 --> 00:01:05.777
removing deep and stubborn pigmentation.

27
00:01:05.777 --> 00:01:07.578
It also has the Focus mode,

28
00:01:07.578 --> 00:01:09.028
which is great for improving skin refinement

29
00:01:09.028 --> 00:01:11.078
[Pico Focus - Great for skin refinement and pigmentation]
and effectively targeting dark pigments.

30
00:01:11.078 --> 00:01:13.678
The first mode I'll be using is the Toning Mode.

31
00:01:13.678 --> 00:01:16.078
[PicoSure Toning Mode: Dark Circles, melasma]
Toning Mode is ideal for

32
00:01:16.078 --> 00:01:18.178
[Best for lighter pigment like general pigmentation]
lighter pigmentation, like dark circles, melasma,

33
00:01:18.178 --> 00:01:20.228
and general discoloration.

34
00:01:20.228 --> 00:01:22.578
〈3. Features of PicoSure Focus Mode〉
PicoSure Focus Mode has

35
00:01:22.578 --> 00:01:24.828
a more intensive setting.

36
00:01:24.828 --> 00:01:26.828
It uses relatively strong energy,

37
00:01:26.828 --> 00:01:30.778
[Pico Focus Mode: Strong energy, great for fine lines, anti-aging,]
It uses relatively strong energy, making it excellent for fine lines, anti-aging

38
00:01:30.778 --> 00:01:33.979
[pore tightening, scar reduction, and skin renewal]
pore tightening, scar reduction, and even promoting skin regeneration.

39
00:01:33.979 --> 00:01:35.929
When you look at the Focus Mode,

40
00:01:35.929 --> 00:01:39.629
It has this mesh-like pattern! Kind of like a mosquito screen.

41
00:01:39.629 --> 00:01:42.779
[Mesh-like Pattern]
The one you can see when you open a window.

42
00:01:42.779 --> 00:01:45.779
Each of these dots applies strength with perfect evenness.

43
00:01:45.779 --> 00:01:50.179
[Even spots]
You’ll notice the dots appear white consistently.

44
00:01:50.179 --> 00:01:53.829
This precise, even application shows

45
00:01:53.829 --> 00:01:56.729
skin care treatment can be applied uniformly,

46
00:01:56.729 --> 00:01:58.279
[Advantage: Treats the skin evenly and effectively!]
which is an incredible advantage for consistent results.

47
00:01:58.279 --> 00:02:02.130
〈4. PicoSure Zoom Pass Mode〉
Zoom Pass Mode is best suited for more concentrated pigment.

48
00:02:02.130 --> 00:02:05.130
[Pico Zoom Pass Mode: Targets blemishes, lentigo, freckles, tattoo removal, etc.]
It’s designed to precisely target

49
00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:07.930
[Ideal for darker, deeper pigmentation]
smaller, deeper pigmentation,

50
00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:10.080
like blemishes, sun spots, freckles, and tattoos.

51
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.180
[Pico Zoom Pass: More intense than Toning!]
Zoom Pass Mode is indeed more painful than Toning.

52
00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:15.880
As you can see, Zoom Pass Mode has a small shot.

53
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:17.880
Although each shot is small,

54
00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:21.080
he treated area turns noticeably white with each shot.

55
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:22.880
While on paper,

56
00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:26.981
the printed black turns white immediately with the strong treatment,

57
00:02:26.981 --> 00:02:28.681
on our skin,

58
00:02:28.681 --> 00:02:30.381
it appears white for a moment,

59
00:02:30.381 --> 00:02:33.731
[Pigment turns white briefly, then darkens again]
but then dark color emerges again slightly.

60
00:02:33.731 --> 00:02:37.831
What this means is that the pigment is effectively burned and forms a sort of scab-like residue,

61
00:02:37.831 --> 00:02:40.331
which appears darker as it heals.

62
00:02:40.331 --> 00:02:43.481
These darkened areas are gradually absorbed

63
00:02:43.481 --> 00:02:45.781
or shed by the body,

64
00:02:45.781 --> 00:02:49.031
[Darkened pigment is absorbed or naturally shed!]
reducing the pigmentation over time.

65
00:02:49.031 --> 00:02:51.581
Since it specifically targets black pigment,

66
00:02:51.581 --> 00:02:56.082
the darker the pigment, the more it can hurt!

67
00:02:56.082 --> 00:02:57.982
So, it reacts to black?

68
00:02:57.982 --> 00:03:00.682
Exactly!
But because these lasers

69
00:03:00.682 --> 00:03:02.432
aren't smart enough,

70
00:03:02.432 --> 00:03:06.532
[Can't distinguish between dark skin tone and dark pigment]
they can't distinguish between dark skin tones and dark pigment.

71
00:03:06.532 --> 00:03:09.582
For people with darker skin tones,

72
00:03:09.582 --> 00:03:12.182
like those with naturally dark complexions or Black skin,

73
00:03:12.182 --> 00:03:14.632
we have to be extra cautious with laser treatments.

74
00:03:14.632 --> 00:03:18.432
[If you have a dark skin tone, PicoSure may not be suitable]
Strong lasers like PicoSure are often not recommended.

75
00:03:18.432 --> 00:03:21.483
On the other hand, if you have fair skin,

76
00:03:21.483 --> 00:03:22.883
Do I have a fair skin? Haha

77
00:03:22.883 --> 00:03:25.633

〈4. How Much Pigmentation Can One Laser Shot Remove?〉
Just words with nothing to show for would be boring, right?

80
00:03:30.683 --> 00:03:35.383
So, I drew some freckles and melasma on a mannequin’s face.

81
00:03:35.383 --> 00:03:39.833
[Freckles - Zoom Pass]
I’ll use the Zoom Pass mode on the freckles on the left side

00:03:46.183 --> 00:03:47.984
Let’s see how quickly

[How much pigment will one laser shot remove?]
the freckles and melasma lighten

86
00:03:51.334 --> 00:03:53.134
with just one shot.

87
00:03:53.134 --> 00:03:55.434
Of course, keep in mind that

88
00:03:55.434 --> 00:03:58.634
this is different from real skin,

89
00:03:58.634 --> 00:03:59.984
and since the freckles are just drawn on the surface,

90
00:03:59.984 --> 00:04:02.284
you may not see the exact same results

91
00:04:02.284 --> 00:04:04.234

[Before Zoom Pass / After One Pico Zoom Pass]
[Freckles lightened after one session with Pico Zoom Pass]

Looks a bit lighter, right?

100

This is how we gradually lighten melasma, bit by bit.

Shh! Keep this between us!

102
00:04:32.785 --> 00:04:35.985
〈5. Precautions for Laser Treatment〉
Are you satisfied?

103
00:04:35.985 --> 00:04:38.285
Of course, it's definitely a lot more powerful where

104
00:04:38.285 --> 00:04:40.236
it's treated with Zoom Pass.

105
00:04:40.236 --> 00:04:42.686
Even so, it's a little ambiguous

106
00:04:42.686 --> 00:04:44.636
to treat melasma with Zoom Pass.

107
00:04:44.636 --> 00:04:46.986
Because Zoom Pass is so powerful that

108
00:04:46.986 --> 00:04:48.986
the cells that produce melasma,

109
00:04:48.986 --> 00:04:50.836
in other words, even cells that make melanin pigment

110
00:04:50.836 --> 00:04:54.986
[Melanin production actually increases with cell stimulation!]
can be stimulated and release more melanin..

111
00:04:54.986 --> 00:04:56.586
As I said before,

112
00:04:56.586 --> 00:04:58.636
these days, melasma is now viewed more as a condition

113
00:04:58.636 --> 00:05:00.736
to be managed than one to be treated.

114
00:05:00.736 --> 00:05:04.586
[If it's a bit too strong, it gets worse...]
It can get darker with a little stimulating treatment.

115
00:05:04.586 --> 00:05:06.337
So even IPL, which was powerful,

116
00:05:06.337 --> 00:05:07.437
these days,

117
00:05:07.437 --> 00:05:09.487
it's a taboo to treat melasma.

118
00:05:09.487 --> 00:05:10.887
That's why.

119
00:05:10.887 --> 00:05:12.987
It's a little less bright,

120
00:05:12.987 --> 00:05:15.787
but if you receive it safely and consistently,

121
00:05:15.787 --> 00:05:18.187
it will get brighter little by little,

122
00:05:18.187 --> 00:05:19.587
and it won't leave any melasma at the end.

123
00:05:19.587 --> 00:05:22.187
All laser treatments, even if they claim to target only black color

124
00:05:22.187 --> 00:05:23.737
and dark pigments,

125
00:05:23.737 --> 00:05:25.187
as they are ultimately still laser treatments,

126
00:05:25.187 --> 00:05:27.137
it can still cause skin dryness after the procedure!

127
00:05:27.137 --> 00:05:29.987
[After treatment, moisturizer and sunscreen are necessary!]
So make sure to moisturize after the treatment.

128

Make sure to apply sunscreen well

129
00:05:32.137 --> 00:05:33.638
to help prevent any secondary pimentation

from setting in.

131
00:05:34.838 --> 00:05:39.388
Sometimes when you get treatments like Pico Toning or PicoSure,

132
00:05:39.388 --> 00:05:41.488
the ultra-fine laser can

133
00:05:41.488 --> 00:05:44.888
[Could cause trouble due to pores irritation!]
stimulate your pores, so they forget what they have to do.

134
00:05:44.888 --> 00:05:47.788
This can lead to tiny bumps, almost like little whiteheads,

135
00:05:47.788 --> 00:05:50.688
due to disrupted oil secretion.

136
00:05:50.688 --> 00:05:54.238
[Most of them relax after 2 to 3 days]
Usually, they disappear in about 2–3 days.

But if you notice they’re not going away,

138
00:05:56.488 --> 00:05:59.439
it’s likely not from the laser.

139
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:00.839
It could be due to hormonal changes,

140
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.039
weather, climate,
