Your Dark Spot Removal Journey
Online Skin Assessment
Send close-up photos of your dark spots via WhatsApp (+82-2-776-2822). Our coordinator identifies the pigmentation type (sun spots, melasma, PIH, freckles) and recommends a treatment plan.
In-Clinic Diagnosis
Dr. Baek or Dr. Son examines your skin under magnification and UV light to determine the depth, type, and cause of your pigmentation. They select the optimal laser wavelength and settings.
Skin Preparation
Your face is thoroughly cleansed. Sunscreen and makeup are removed. Topical numbing may be applied for more intensive treatments (optional for standard toning).
Laser Treatment
PicoSure delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses that shatter melanin particles without heat damage. Genesis laser provides broad-spectrum rejuvenation. Multiple passes target dark spots at various depths.
Post-Treatment & Aftercare
Cooling and soothing agents are applied. You receive SPF 50+ sunscreen and aftercare instructions. Follow-up session is scheduled at 2–4 weeks.
Dark Spot Removal Results — What to Expect
- Precision Pigment Targeting PicoSure’s 755nm wavelength specifically targets melanin while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. Picosecond pulses shatter pigment more effectively than older nanosecond lasers.
- All Spot Types Treated Effective for sun spots, age spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), freckles, and uneven skin tone. Different settings target different pigmentation depths.
- No Downtime Standard laser toning has no downtime. Mild pinkness resolves within hours. You can apply makeup and return to activities immediately.
- Progressive Improvement Each session builds upon the last. Dark spots fade progressively with 70–90% improvement achievable over 3–6 sessions.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0–2 | Mild pinkness at treatment sites. Dark spots may temporarily appear slightly darker as melanin rises to the surface. This is normal and expected. |
| Week 1–2 | Micro-crusting may form on treated spots, then naturally flake off. Underneath, lighter skin begins to appear. Strict sun protection is critical. |
| Week 3–4 | Treated spots are visibly lighter. Overall skin tone appears more even. This is when the second session is typically scheduled. |
| Month 2–3 (After 3+ Sessions) | Significant improvement visible. Most superficial dark spots are 70–90% faded. Deeper melasma shows progressive lightening. Skin tone is notably more even. |
| Month 4–6 (After Full Course) | After 4–6 sessions, most patients achieve their desired level of spot removal. Maintenance sessions every 2–3 months preserve results and prevent new spot formation. |

The Science Behind Dark Spot Removal
How Picosecond Lasers Remove Dark Spots
Dark spots (hyperpigmentation) result from excess melanin accumulation in the epidermis and/or dermis. Sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, and aging trigger melanocytes to produce excess melanin, which clusters into visible spots. The depth and density of melanin deposits determine the treatment approach.
PicoSure delivers laser energy in picosecond (trillionths of a second) pulses — 100x shorter than traditional nanosecond lasers. This ultra-short pulse duration creates a photomechanical effect that shatters melanin particles into microscopic fragments without significant thermal damage to surrounding tissue. The body’s immune system then naturally clears these fragments over 2–4 weeks. Genesis laser adds 1064nm wavelength for deeper pigment and overall skin rejuvenation.
Kang et al. (2024) demonstrated that PicoSure + Genesis dual toning achieved 82% dark spot clearance at 12 weeks (5 sessions) versus 61% with PicoSure alone, with lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 56(8), 689–697. | Alexiades-Armenakas MR et al. Arch Dermatol. 2008;144(9):1136-1140. doi:10.1001/archderm.144.9.1136
Dark Spot Removal Patient Reviews — RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I had sun spots from years of tropical sun exposure. After 4 sessions of the Dual Toning Package at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, my spots have almost completely vanished. Dr. Baek was extremely precise — each session targeted the spots without affecting the rest of my skin.”
“I tried the first-visit PicoSure toning for ₩159,000 and was amazed at how much lighter my spots were after just one session. I’ve now done 3 sessions total and my skin tone is more even than it’s been in 10 years.”
“Melasma has been my biggest skin struggle. Dr. Son carefully explained that melasma requires a gentle, consistent approach rather than aggressive treatment. After 5 sessions, my melasma is 70% lighter. Still ongoing but very happy.”
“I had dark marks from old acne. The PicoSure + Genesis combination faded them beautifully. My skin is finally clear and even-toned. The before and after photos are incredible — I keep showing them to friends.”

We treat sun spots, age spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH from acne), freckles, liver spots, and uneven skin tone. Dr. Baek or Dr. Son diagnoses your specific type during consultation.
Yes. All photos are real RE:BERRY Myeongdong patients taken under standardized clinical lighting with no retouching or filters.
Sun spots: 2–4 sessions. PIH (acne marks): 3–5 sessions. Melasma: 5–8 sessions. Freckles: 2–3 sessions. Sessions are spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Spots begin to fade visibly after the first session. Most patients see significant improvement after 3 sessions (6–8 weeks). Deep melasma requires more patience — 3–6 months for optimal results.
Standard laser toning feels like mild warm prickling — most patients rate it 1–2 out of 10. No numbing required for basic toning. More intensive treatments may use topical numbing.
Standard laser toning: no downtime. Mild pinkness for a few hours. You can apply makeup and SPF immediately. More intensive treatments: 1–2 days of mild pinkness.
Treated spots are removed. However, new spots can form from ongoing sun exposure. Strict SPF 50+ use, sun avoidance, and maintenance toning every 2–3 months prevent recurrence.
Melasma is a chronic condition influenced by hormones and UV exposure. We can significantly lighten melasma (70–90%) but maintenance treatments and sun protection are needed long-term to prevent recurrence.
Sun spots (solar lentigines) are discrete, well-defined brown spots caused by UV damage. Melasma is a diffuse, often symmetrical brown/gray discoloration triggered by hormones, UV, and heat. They require different treatment approaches.
Yes, with proper settings. PicoSure’s picosecond technology is safer for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) than older lasers because it uses photomechanical rather than photothermal mechanisms, reducing PIH risk.
Yes. PicoSure toning costs $300–$600 per session in the US. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers it from ₩159,000 (~$120 USD) for first-visit patients.
Discontinue retinol, AHA/BHA, and other actives 3–5 days before your laser session. Resume 5–7 days after treatment. Your doctor provides specific pre-treatment instructions.
Yes. Dark spot removal pairs well with skin boosters (Rejuran, Re2O) for overall rejuvenation, or with lifting treatments. Your doctor plans an optimal combination schedule.
SPF 50+ broad-spectrum (UVA+UVB) physical/mineral sunscreen is essential. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors. We recommend Korean medical-grade sunscreens and can suggest specific products.
Yes. A single Dual Toning session (₩259,000) takes about 30 minutes and delivers visible results. Each additional session in future visits builds on the improvement.
Genesis uses 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength to target deeper pigmentation and stimulate collagen. It complements PicoSure’s surface-level pigment targeting for comprehensive spot removal.
PicoSure is also used for tattoo removal, but tattoo removal requires different settings and more sessions. Contact us separately for tattoo removal consultations.
Common: mild pinkness for a few hours. Uncommon: temporary darkening of treated spots (normal healing process). Rare: post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (minimized by proper settings and sun protection).
Contraindications: active tan/sunburn, pregnancy, active skin infection, recent isotretinoin use (within 6 months), and certain photosensitizing medications. Your doctor screens during consultation.
