Pico·Dual·Gold-Diamond Toning

A procedure that uses lasers of various wavelengths and methods to brighten skin tone and improve pigmentary disorders. 'Pico Toning' shatters pigment into fine particles with fast, powerful energy. 'GentleMax/Genesis Toning' stimulates the dermal layer to improve overall skin tone and texture. 'Pico Dual Toning' uses two wavelengths simultaneously for a powerful effect, treating pigment in both the epidermis and dermis at once. 'Gold Diamond Toning' is a premium option for even brighter, more radiant skin. We provide customized treatments by selecting or combining the optimal toning method for your skin condition.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions patients ask about this treatment.

Targeted pigment treatment without skin irritation

No. Our toning treatment selectively destroys pigment within the skin, not on the surface, so it doesn't cause unnecessary irritation. It's an effective care program where repeated sessions lighten pigmentation and brighten skin tone. However, your skin may feel temporarily dry after the treatment, so please focus on moisturizing.

Consistent management and prevention over a cure

There is currently no treatment that can completely eliminate melasma. This procedure aims to manage and prevent melasma by breaking down the pigment rising from within the skin and suppressing new pigment formation to lighten it. Consistent treatment is the most important thing.

Cautions

Pre & post-care
