Pico Laser Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul
RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses PicoSure — the world’s first picosecond aesthetic laser — to treat pigmentation, melasma, enlarged pores, and dull skin with minimal downtime. Board-certified dermatologists Dr. Seung-Jae Baek and Dr. Hoon-Sung Son customize every session with precise energy parameters for your skin type and concerns.
What Is Pico Laser and Why Choose Myeongdong Seoul?
Pico laser (PicoSure) delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter pigment particles and stimulate collagen without damaging surrounding tissue. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers PicoSure toning from ₩159,000 (first visit) and the Dual Toning Package (PicoSure + Genesis) at ₩259,000 — performed by board-certified dermatologists in Seoul’s most accessible location, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station.
Picosecond lasers represent the latest evolution in skin laser technology, operating 100 times faster than traditional Q-switched nanosecond lasers. The PicoSure platform at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses a 755nm alexandrite wavelength that targets melanin with exceptional specificity while generating a photomechanical (pressure wave) effect rather than photothermal (heat) damage. This means pigment particles are fractured into tiny fragments easily cleared by the body’s immune system, with significantly less inflammation and downtime than older laser technologies. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Head Director Dr. Seung-Jae Baek has performed thousands of PicoSure treatments across all Fitzpatrick skin types, making this clinic a top choice for pigmentation treatment and glass skin laser toning for international visitors.

Pico Laser Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Step by Step
From consultation to aftercare, every pico laser session is tailored to your skin type and goals.
Skin Analysis & Consultation
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek examines your skin with dermoscopy and high-resolution imaging to identify pigmentation type (epidermal vs. dermal), depth, and distribution. This is crucial because superficial freckles, sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and melasma each require different PicoSure parameters. Many patients arrive with mixed pigmentation that needs a customized multi-wavelength approach.
PicoSure Laser Treatment
After cleansing and optional topical numbing, the PicoSure handpiece delivers picosecond pulses across the treatment area. For toning, the Focus Lens Array creates microscopic zones of high-intensity energy that stimulate collagen and elastin production (LIOB — Laser Induced Optical Breakdown). For targeted spots, the flat beam directly shatters pigment. Treatment takes 15-30 minutes depending on area coverage.
Post-Treatment Cooling & Dermio Care
Immediately after pico laser, RE:BERRY applies Dermio Care — a medical-grade LED and cooling device that reduces inflammation and accelerates healing. LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) ultrasound may be added to enhance skin recovery. This combination minimizes the mild pinkness typical after picosecond laser treatment.
Aftercare & Next Session Planning
Your dermatologist provides written aftercare instructions in your language, including SPF requirements, skincare dos and don’ts, and expected timeline. PicoSure toning sessions are typically spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Most patients see visible pigmentation improvement after 3-4 sessions, with optimal results at 6-10 sessions. Follow-up consultation available via WhatsApp (+82-2-776-2822).

The Science Behind Picosecond Laser Technology
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting PicoSure pico laser treatment for pigmentation, pores, and skin rejuvenation.
Picosecond vs Nanosecond: Why Pulse Duration Matters
Picosecond lasers operate at pulse durations of 550-750 picoseconds — approximately 100 times shorter than traditional Q-switched nanosecond lasers. This ultra-short pulse duration shifts the primary tissue interaction from photothermal (heat-based) to photomechanical (pressure wave-based). When a picosecond pulse strikes a melanin granule, it creates a rapid thermal expansion that generates a pressure wave, shattering the pigment into particles small enough for macrophage clearance. Because less heat is generated, the surrounding tissue experiences minimal thermal damage, dramatically reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — a critical advantage for Fitzpatrick III-V skin types common among Asian patients.
PicoSure Focus Lens Array and LIOB Effect
PicoSure’s proprietary Focus Lens Array redistributes laser energy into a pattern of high-intensity and low-intensity zones. The high-intensity micro-spots create Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) — microscopic vacuoles in the epidermis and dermis that trigger wound healing cascades without breaking the skin surface. Habbema et al. (2014) demonstrated that these LIOB zones stimulate production of collagen III and elastin fibers, resulting in measurable improvements in skin texture, pore size, and fine lines. This dual mechanism — pigment destruction plus collagen remodeling — is why PicoSure delivers glass skin results beyond what pigment-only lasers achieve.
755nm Alexandrite Wavelength Specificity
PicoSure’s 755nm alexandrite wavelength has a melanin absorption coefficient approximately 3 times higher than 1064nm Nd:YAG at equivalent fluences. Bernstein et al. (2017) showed that 755nm picosecond laser achieved 75% or greater clearance of benign pigmented lesions in 1-3 treatments, compared to 4-6+ treatments with 1064nm Q-switched systems. For recalcitrant melasma, Chalermchai et al. (2019) reported significant improvement with low-fluence PicoSure toning at 2-week intervals, with lower recurrence rates than conventional toning approaches.
