Pico Laser in Gangnam, Seoul

What Is Pico Laser?

Pico Laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy in picoseconds, shattering pigment particles without damaging surrounding tissue. It's highly effective for melasma, freckles, age spots, acne scars, and skin rejuvenation. Compared to traditional Q-switched lasers, it’s safer, faster, and causes less downtime.

The Treatment Experience in Seoul

1. Pigmentation Diagnosis and Laser Matching

Dermatologists assess skin tone and type to determine the ideal wavelength and intensity for your concern. Some clinics offer multi-wavelength pico lasers for enhanced flexibility.

2. Precision Laser Application

After applying numbing cream, the laser is applied across affected areas using handheld devices. Sessions take 15–30 minutes depending on coverage.

3. Cooling & Aftercare

Mild redness or warmth may occur, typically resolving within a day. Clinics provide post-laser skincare such as cooling masks and LED therapy.

Results and Maintenance

Dark spots begin fading after 1–2 sessions, with clearer, brighter skin over 3–5 sessions. It also improves skin texture and reduces pore size. Maintenance every 3–6 months helps preserve clarity.
