Pico Laser at RE:BERRY Myeongdong follows a Korean dermatology protocol refined over 30,000+ cumulative treatments. The PicoSure 755nm picosecond alexandrite + 532nm/1064nm Nd:YAG platform is operated by Dr. Seung-Jae Baek with session-to-session parameter adjustment based on VISIA imaging and pre/post comparisons. KHIDI 2025 reports 56.6% of foreign patients cite dermatology as their primary reason for visiting Korea, and same-doctor continuity ranks #1 priority for 41.4% of medical tourists.
How Pico Laser Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Step by Step
The 4-step mechanism of PicoSure 755nm picosecond laser treatment.
Step 1: Photomechanical Energy Delivery
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek fires PicoSure 755nm alexandrite pulses lasting 550-750 picoseconds (10⁻¹² seconds) — 100x faster than Q-switched nanosecond lasers. Each pulse delivers 0.4-4 J/cm² fluence through a 2-8mm spot size, generating acoustic shockwaves rather than heat. This photomechanical mechanism fragments pigment particles mechanically while protecting surrounding tissue from the thermal damage that causes PIH in 15-25% of Asian patients.
Step 2: Selective Melanin Absorption at 755nm
The 755nm alexandrite wavelength has the highest melanin absorption selectivity in the PicoSure platform — 3x more selective than 1064nm wavelengths. The laser energy targets melanosomes containing pigment granules while bypassing water, hemoglobin, and surrounding skin structures. Within 750 picoseconds, absorbed energy converts to acoustic pressure exceeding 10,000 psi, shattering melanin into sub-micrometer fragments the body clears through natural lymphatic drainage within 4-6 weeks.
Step 3: Focus Lens Array Collagen Stimulation
For skin toning mode, the Focus Lens Array (FLA) diffuses PicoSure energy into hundreds of microscopic laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) zones across the dermis. Each zone measures 100-200 micrometers and triggers a controlled wound-healing response. Over 12-16 weeks, fibroblasts produce new type I and III collagen, increasing dermal collagen density by 23% per histological studies. This dual mechanism — pigment clearance plus collagen remodeling — treats 6 conditions simultaneously.
Step 4: Pigment Clearance and Results Timeline
Fragmented melanin particles rise to the epidermis over 7-14 days and flake off as microscopic crusts, then the remaining pigment is cleared by macrophages through lymphatic drainage over 4-6 weeks. 90% of patients see 40-60% clearance after 1 session and 60-80% clearance after 2-3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. RE:BERRY applies a soothing mask and 10-minute LED therapy after each session, then provides SPF 50+ and printed aftercare instructions in 8 languages.
How Pico Laser Works: Benefits and Timeline at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- 100x Faster Pulse Than Q-Switched: Picosecond pulses at 550-750 x 10⁻¹² seconds replace nanosecond (5-20 x 10⁻⁹) pulses, reducing thermal spread by 80% and PIH risk from 15-25% down to 4.4% in Asian skin.
- Photomechanical vs Photothermal: PicoSure generates acoustic shockwaves exceeding 10,000 psi to fragment pigment mechanically, whereas Q-switched lasers use heat — mechanical fragmentation preserves surrounding tissue.
- 755nm Melanin Selectivity: The 755nm alexandrite wavelength has 3x higher melanin absorption than 1064nm Nd:YAG, enabling targeted pigment clearance without damaging blood vessels or surrounding skin.
- Focus Lens Array Dual Action: Hundreds of LIOB zones per session trigger 23% increased collagen density at 90 days, treating pigmentation plus texture plus pores plus fine lines simultaneously.
- Zero Downtime for Myeongdong Tourists: Photomechanical mechanism produces no burns and no crusting for toning mode — 90% of patients return to Myeongdong shopping within 30 minutes post-session.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Treatment Day (60 min) | 15 min consultation, 20 min numbing, 15-20 min laser delivery, 10 min LED therapy. Mild redness subsides within 2-4 hours post-session. |
| Day 1-3 | Targeted dark spots darken slightly as fragmented melanin rises toward epidermis. Normal healing response. No activity restriction — fly or shop immediately. |
| Week 1-2 | Micro-crusts flake off naturally on day 7-10. Treated spots visibly lighter. SPF 50+ daily is mandatory to prevent post-treatment pigmentation. |
| Week 3-4 | 40-60% pigment clearance visible. Pores appear tighter from Focus Lens Array collagen stimulation. Overall skin radiance improves noticeably. |
| Month 2-3 | 60-80% clearance after a single session for most patients. Schedule 2nd session if needed. Collagen remodeling peaks at 90 days post-treatment. |
| Month 6-12 | Peak results maintained with daily SPF 50+ sunscreen use. Annual maintenance session recommended for sun-exposed or melasma-prone patients. |

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity strongly affects pico laser outcomes because parameter calibration improves with patient history. KHIDI 2025 Medical Tourism Survey: 41.4% of Japanese patients rank same-doctor continuity as their #1 priority when choosing a Korean clinic. At RE:BERRY, one physician handles consultation through every session.
Korea averages just 4.3 minutes per patient consultation — the shortest in the OECD, well below the 16.4-minute average. RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides 15-20 minute consultations, 3-5x the Korean average, enabling true personalization of PicoSure 755nm parameters for each patient.
Korea picosecond laser pricing is 40-70% less than US equivalents and 30-50% less than Japan per KHIDI 2025 data. RE:BERRY at ₩159,000 ($120 USD) compares to $350-800 in the US and ¥30,000-60,000 in Japan — often cheaper than a single US dermatology consultation alone.
