PicoSure

Picosecond laser toning that gently breaks up melasma and blemishes.

About Procedure

About PicoSure

PicoSure is a 755 nm picosecond laser that delivers energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), shattering pigment into fine particles primarily through pressure waves rather than heat so the body can clear them.

With less heat stress on surrounding skin, it is used to improve melasma, blemishes and dull skin tone, and you can expect a clearer complexion with each session.

SIA Clinic Gangnam offers PicoSure Toning in 1 or 5 sessions, Body PicoSure Toning, Zoom Pass and Pico Focus Toning options, and Standard and Premium PicoSure packages.
