[Putting it to the Test] Just words with nothing to show for would be boring, right?
So, I drew some freckles and melasma on a mannequin’s face!
[How well will the pigment disappear?] Let’s see how quickly
[A laser better than Pico Toning?] we can make those spots vanish
PD: I heard you got a machine even better than Pico Toning...
That’s right! Word travels fast, huh?
PD: You know I have a lot of freckles and melasma...
PD: Could you tell us how it differs from Pico Toning?
Alright...
〈PicoSure Laser Pigment Test - 1. Differences between Pico Toning and PicoSure〉 It’s a bit complicated.
You see, the meaning of "Pico"
[Picosecond = One-trillionth of a second] *Super fast! just refers to how fast the shots are delivered.
[Pico Toning and PicoSure differ in wavelength] The primary difference between Pico Toning and PicoSure lies in the wavelength.
Think of it as a completely different kind of laser.
The difference in wavelength is that significant.
The wavelength we commonly refer to with Pico Toning is
[Pico Toning wavelength: 1064nm] 1064 nm,
[PicoSure wavelength: 755nm] while PicoSure operates at 755 nm.
This 755 nm wavelength in PicoSure is
far more precise in targeting melanin, which means it’s especially effective
at breaking down dark pigments.
〈2. Advantages of PicoSure - 3 Modes〉 PicoSure also has other unique strengths.
In addition to the toning function,
it also offers a Zoom Pass mode,
[Pico Zoom Pass - Great for deep and dark pigmentation] which allows for more precise targeting, making it excellent for
removing deep and stubborn pigmentation.
It also has the Focus mode,
which is great for improving skin refinement
[Pico Focus - Great for skin refinement and pigmentation] and effectively targeting dark pigments.
The first mode I'll be using is the Toning Mode.
[PicoSure Toning Mode: Dark Circles, melasma] Toning Mode is ideal for
[Best for lighter pigment like general pigmentation] lighter pigmentation, like dark circles, melasma,
and general discoloration.
〈3. Features of PicoSure Focus Mode〉 PicoSure Focus Mode has
a more intensive setting.
It uses relatively strong energy,
[Pico Focus Mode: Strong energy, great for fine lines, anti-aging,] It uses relatively strong energy, making it excellent for fine lines, anti-aging
[pore tightening, scar reduction, and skin renewal] pore tightening, scar reduction, and even promoting skin regeneration.
When you look at the Focus Mode,
It has this mesh-like pattern! Kind of like a mosquito screen.
[Mesh-like Pattern] The one you can see when you open a window.
Each of these dots applies strength with perfect evenness.
[Even spots] You’ll notice the dots appear white consistently.
This precise, even application shows
skin care treatment can be applied uniformly,
[Advantage: Treats the skin evenly and effectively!] which is an incredible advantage for consistent results.
〈4. PicoSure Zoom Pass Mode〉 Zoom Pass Mode is best suited for more concentrated pigment.
[Pico Zoom Pass Mode: Targets blemishes, lentigo, freckles, tattoo removal, etc.] It’s designed to precisely target
[Ideal for darker, deeper pigmentation] smaller, deeper pigmentation,
like blemishes, sun spots, freckles, and tattoos.
[Pico Zoom Pass: More intense than Toning!] Zoom Pass Mode is indeed more painful than Toning.
As you can see, Zoom Pass Mode has a small shot.
Although each shot is small,
he treated area turns noticeably white with each shot.
While on paper,
the printed black turns white immediately with the strong treatment,
on our skin,
it appears white for a moment,
[Pigment turns white briefly, then darkens again] but then dark color emerges again slightly.
What this means is that the pigment is effectively burned and forms a sort of scab-like residue,
which appears darker as it heals.
These darkened areas are gradually absorbed
or shed by the body,
[Darkened pigment is absorbed or naturally shed!] reducing the pigmentation over time.
Since it specifically targets black pigment,
the darker the pigment, the more it can hurt!
So, it reacts to black?
Exactly! But because these lasers
aren't smart enough,
[Can't distinguish between dark skin tone and dark pigment] they can't distinguish between dark skin tones and dark pigment.
For people with darker skin tones,
like those with naturally dark complexions or Black skin,
we have to be extra cautious with laser treatments.
[If you have a dark skin tone, PicoSure may not be suitable] Strong lasers like PicoSure are often not recommended.
On the other hand, if you have fair skin,
Do I have a fair skin? Haha
and deep pigmentation,
[Best results for fair skin with dark pigmentation!] this treatment is likely to show even better results.
〈4. How Much Pigmentation Can One Laser Shot Remove?〉 Just words with nothing to show for would be boring, right?
So, I drew some freckles and melasma on a mannequin’s face.
[Freckles - Zoom Pass] I’ll use the Zoom Pass mode on the freckles on the left side
[Melasma - PicoSure Toning] and the standard PicoSure Toning mode
on the melasma on the right.
Let’s see how quickly
[How much pigment will one laser shot remove?] the freckles and melasma lighten
with just one shot.
Of course, keep in mind that
this is different from real skin,
and since the freckles are just drawn on the surface,
you may not see the exact same results
on your skin.
[Deep, dark pigment! PicoSure Zoom Pass Mode for Freckles]
(Precisely targets and fades each spot!)
This way, we focus on each freckle,
[Before Zoom Pass / After One Pico Zoom Pass] [Freckles lightened after one session with Pico Zoom Pass]
lightening it up just like this.
[Diffuse, lighter pigmentation PicoSure Toning Mode for melasma]
The result would be like this.
[Before PicoSure Toning / After One PicoSure Toning Session] Looks a bit lighter, right?
[Dark pigmentation faded after one PicoSure Toning session] This is how we gradually lighten melasma, bit by bit.
Shh! Keep this between us!
〈5. Precautions for Laser Treatment〉 Are you satisfied?
Of course, it's definitely a lot more powerful where
it's treated with Zoom Pass.
Even so, it's a little ambiguous
to treat melasma with Zoom Pass.
Because Zoom Pass is so powerful that
the cells that produce melasma,
in other words, even cells that make melanin pigment
[Melanin production actually increases with cell stimulation!] can be stimulated and release more melanin..
As I said before,
these days, melasma is now viewed more as a condition
to be managed than one to be treated.
[If it's a bit too strong, it gets worse...] It can get darker with a little stimulating treatment.
So even IPL, which was powerful,
these days,
it's a taboo to treat melasma.
That's why.
It's a little less bright,
but if you receive it safely and consistently,
it will get brighter little by little,
and it won't leave any melasma at the end.
All laser treatments, even if they claim to target only black color
and dark pigments,
as they are ultimately still laser treatments,
it can still cause skin dryness after the procedure!
[After treatment, moisturizer and sunscreen are necessary!] So make sure to moisturize after the treatment.
Make sure to apply sunscreen well
to help prevent any secondary pimentation
from setting in.
Sometimes when you get treatments like Pico Toning or PicoSure,
the ultra-fine laser can
[Could cause trouble due to pores irritation!] stimulate your pores, so they forget what they have to do.
This can lead to tiny bumps, almost like little whiteheads,
due to disrupted oil secretion.
[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,
it’s likely not from the laser.
It could be due to hormonal changes,
weather, climate,
or even stress.
In that case, make sure to come in for treatment.
〈6. Laser treatment interval〉 Usually, if you do a treatment like this,
[PicoSure Toning : Every 2 weeks] most people get PicoSure Toning every two weeks.
[Zoom Pass / Focus Mode: Every 4 weeks] For Zoom Pass and Focus Mode,
we usually recommend
about a 4 week interval between treatments.
