Quick Answer

What Is Acne Laser Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?

Acne laser treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses a Dual Toning approach combining PicoSure picosecond laser with Genesis Nd:YAG laser. PicoSure shatters melanin pigment and stimulates collagen with ultra-short 750-picosecond pulses, while Genesis delivers sub-threshold microsecond pulses to kill C. acnes bacteria and reduce diffuse redness. The Dual Toning Package costs ₩259,000 (excl. VAT).

Laser-based acne treatment differs fundamentally from RF microneedling acne treatments by using focused light energy rather than electrical current. PicoSure’s Focus Lens Array creates localized micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response without breaking the skin surface, making it ideal for patients who want acne control with absolutely zero downtime. The Genesis Nd:YAG laser (1064nm) gently heats the upper dermis to shrink blood vessels feeding inflammatory acne while simultaneously stimulating new collagen production — a dual benefit that addresses both active lesions and the redness they leave behind.

Treatment Process

How Acne Laser Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong

Our four-step dual-laser acne protocol addresses active breakouts and post-acne discoloration simultaneously.

Acne consultation and skin assessment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong clinic Seoul

Consultation & Acne Assessment

Dr. Baek Seung-Jae evaluates your acne type, skin tone, and treatment history to determine optimal laser parameters. The assessment distinguishes between active inflammatory acne, post-inflammatory erythema (redness), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots) — each requiring different wavelength settings. If your acne includes deep cystic lesions, Dr. Baek may recommend combining laser with the Acne All-Kill Package for comprehensive results.

PicoSure picosecond laser toning treatment for acne at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul

PicoSure Laser Toning

The PicoSure laser delivers 750-picosecond pulses through a Focus Lens Array, creating Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) zones in the upper dermis. These microscopic pressure waves shatter melanin deposits causing post-acne dark spots while triggering collagen and elastin remodeling. The ultra-short pulse duration means minimal heat damage to surrounding tissue, making PicoSure safe for all skin tones including Fitzpatrick III-V.

Genesis Nd:YAG laser treatment for acne redness and inflammation at RE:BERRY Myeongdong

Genesis Nd:YAG Laser Treatment

The Genesis 1064nm Nd:YAG laser delivers rapid sub-threshold microsecond pulses across the full face, gently heating the papillary dermis to 42-44 degrees Celsius. This controlled thermal effect collapses dilated capillaries responsible for acne redness (PIE), destroys C. acnes colonies in sebaceous follicles, and stimulates fibroblast-mediated collagen synthesis. The treatment feels like warm sunlight and requires no numbing cream.

“The key to effective acne laser treatment is understanding which wavelength targets which pathology.

At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, we combine both for comprehensive results.”

Clinical Science

The Science Behind Acne Laser Treatment

Peer-reviewed research supporting PicoSure and Genesis laser efficacy for acne treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.

Picosecond Laser Technology for Acne and Post-Acne Marks

PicoSure operates at 755nm wavelength with pulse durations of 750 picoseconds — approximately 100 times shorter than traditional Q-switched nanosecond lasers. This ultra-short pulse duration generates photomechanical (pressure wave) effects rather than photothermal (heat) effects, creating Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) cavities in the dermis without thermal injury to surrounding tissue. The Focus Lens Array diffracts the beam into high-fluence and low-fluence zones, concentrating energy at microscopic focal points to trigger intensive collagen and elastin remodeling. Brauer et al. (2015) demonstrated that PicoSure with Focus Lens Array produced significant improvement in facial acne scars with 94% patient satisfaction after 3 sessions, with clinical improvement persisting at 6-month follow-up. The photomechanical mechanism is particularly advantageous for Fitzpatrick III-V skin types because it minimizes the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) that frequently complicates thermal laser treatments in darker skin.

Genesis Nd:YAG Laser for Acne Inflammation and Redness

The Genesis laser uses 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength delivered in rapid microsecond pulses at sub-threshold fluences. The 1064nm wavelength penetrates to the papillary dermis (0.5-1.5mm) where it targets two chromophores: oxyhemoglobin in dilated capillaries and water in the dermal extracellular matrix. By heating the papillary dermis to 42-44 degrees Celsius — below the 60 degrees Celsius threshold for thermal coagulation — Genesis collapses abnormally dilated blood vessels feeding inflammatory acne lesions while stimulating fibroblast proliferation and neocollagenesis. Lee et al. (2010) showed that Genesis laser treatment at 14 J/cm2 produced a 53% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions and a 47% improvement in post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) scores after 4 biweekly sessions. The sub-threshold approach means patients experience no downtime, no wound, and no risk of scarring — making it the ideal complement to PicoSure in a dual-toning protocol.

Synergistic Dual Toning Mechanism

Combining PicoSure (755nm photomechanical) with Genesis (1064nm sub-threshold photothermal) addresses acne through complementary pathways. PicoSure’s LIOB zones break down melanin aggregates in post-acne hyperpigmentation and stimulate deep collagen remodeling, while Genesis addresses the vascular and inflammatory components. Kim et al. (2018) found that combination picosecond-nanosecond protocols achieved 72% improvement in acne-related skin quality compared to 48% for single-laser protocols, with no increase in adverse events. This synergistic approach is particularly effective for the mixed presentation common in Asian patients — active papulopustular acne coexisting with post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation.
