Laser Toning & PicoSure Pigment Care
Multi-session 1064nm Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser Toning and PicoSure picosecond laser protocol targeting dermal melasma, freckles, PIH, and stubborn pigment lesions.
Treatment Overview & Clinical Mechanism
Laser Toning & PicoSure Pigment Care in our Pigmentation & Hair Removal department combines 1064nm Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser Toning with PicoSure picosecond laser technology. Using selective photothermolysis and photomechanical pressure waves, these wavelengths shatter dermal and epidermal melanin granules into ultra-fine particles cleared naturally by macrophages without burning surrounding tissue.
At ReYeonK Clinic, every pigment protocol begins with a 1:1 diagnostic consultation with Dr. Lee Doochan, Dr. Kim Hyunsu, and Dr. Choi Hyunho to differentiate mixed melasma, solar lentigines, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and calibrate fluence safely.
Ideal Candidates & Target Concerns
- Patients with recurrent dermal or mixed melasma and blotchy facial tone
- Individuals with sunspots, solar lentigines, freckles, or age spots
- Patients with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after acne breakouts
- Those seeking safe removal or fading of unwanted dark or colored tattoos

Potential temporary side effects include localized erythema (redness), mild swelling, bruising, transient dryness or flaking, pigmentary shifts, or rare infection/vascular complications, which require proper post-treatment care and physician guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why are multiple sessions needed for melasma?
Melasma melanocytes are easily stimulated by excessive heat; low-fluence multi-session Laser Toning and PicoSure gradually clear melanin without triggering rebound hyperpigmentation.
Q. Can I pair this with vascular or mole care?
