Dark spots, melasma, and dullness occur when melanin is overproduced due to UV exposure, hormonal changes, friction, and other factors, and remains in the skin. After the age of 30 in particular, metabolism slows and melanin becomes harder to expel, causing spots to darken and become more noticeable. In addition to daily UV protection and brightening skincare, laser treatment at a medical facility is an effective solution. Lasers precisely target and break down melanin, bringing out the skin's natural clarity.

For melasma and overall dullness, combining gentle laser treatment with oral medication is effective, and selecting the right treatment for each condition is essential.

Our clinic uses the PicoWay laser. Manufactured by Syneron Candela (USA), this medical-grade picosecond laser delivers significantly shorter pulse durations than conventional lasers, minimizing thermal damage to the skin while providing effective treatment.

PicoWay uses cutting-edge technology to finely break down pigment, making it capable of targeting blue and red pigments that conventional lasers struggle to treat. Its minimal thermal effect and use of photoacoustic energy allow it to shatter pigment more finely than traditional nanosecond lasers, reducing downtime and the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. With three wavelengths -- 532nm, 730nm, and 1064nm -- it can address a wide range of skin concerns including dark spots, pores, skin firmness, and skin brightening.

Furthermore, because each pulse is delivered in an extremely short time, treatment sessions are quick, and post-treatment redness, swelling, and risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are minimized, with little impact on daily life. By promoting skin cell turnover, improvements in firmness and clarity can also be expected.

This state-of-the-art medical laser covers a wide range of skin concerns beyond just dark spot treatment. With a treatment that balances safety and effectiveness, you can work toward your ideal skin.

PicoWay Wavelengths & Features

PicoWay is a state-of-the-art device that uses ultra-short picosecond laser pulses to address a wide range of concerns including dark spots, melasma, and tattoos.
By switching between multiple wavelengths, treatments can be customized to each specific condition.

• 532nm
  A wavelength that reaches the superficial layers of the epidermis. Ideal for freckles, sun-induced dark spots, and superficial pigmentation.
• 730nm
  A wavelength developed specifically for Asian skin types, including Japanese skin. Effective for melasma and overall dullness, enabling gentle treatment with minimal irritation.
• 1064nm
  A wavelength that penetrates deep into the skin. Effective for ADM (acquired dermal melanocytosis), birthmarks, deep dermal pigmentation, and dense tattoos.

By combining these wavelengths, we can address everything from superficial spots to deep pigmentation, resulting in an overall improvement in skin tone.

Those Who Want to Quickly Improve Dark Spots, Freckles & Melasma

This treatment finely shatters pigment from dark spots, freckles, melasma, and more, while minimizing skin damage and downtime.
It is especially recommended for those who want to improve dark spots and melasma as quickly as possible. The minimal heat stimulation also reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Additionally, by utilizing multiple wavelengths, it can effectively treat both superficial and deep-layer pigmentation.
This is the ideal treatment for those who want to achieve clear, radiant skin in a short period of time.

Those Who Want to Improve Pore Size & Skin Firmness

The picosecond laser's micro-stimulation promotes the production of collagen and elastin, boosting the skin's regenerative power from within.

As a result, pores are tightened and the skin is guided toward a smoother, more refined texture.
Another benefit is minimal downtime, with little disruption to daily life.

This treatment is recommended for those who want to minimize the appearance of pores and naturally restore youthful firmness to their skin.

Those Who Want Minimal Downtime

Post-treatment redness and swelling are mild, and in many cases makeup can be applied on the same day, making this a comfortable option even for those with busy schedules or upcoming commitments.

This is the perfect treatment for those who want to improve dark spots and pores but want to avoid lengthy downtime.
