PicoSure Toning vs Regular Pico Laser at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
PicoSure Toning uses genuine Cynosure 755nm alexandrite with Focus Lens Array for 23% collagen density gain and 4.4% PIH rate — compared to generic 1064nm pico lasers at 15% PIH rate — at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8.
What Is PicoSure Toning and How Is It Different From Regular Pico Laser?
PicoSure Toning is genuine Cynosure 755nm alexandrite laser with Focus Lens Array for photomechanical pigment clearance plus collagen remodeling — unlike generic 1064nm pico lasers — available at RE:BERRY Myeongdong with a 4.4% PIH rate and zero downtime.
The term “pico laser” refers to any laser with picosecond-duration pulses, while “PicoSure” specifically refers to the Cynosure 755nm device that pioneered the category in 2013. Three differences separate PicoSure Toning from generic pico laser systems: (1) wavelength — PicoSure uses 755nm alexandrite with 3x higher melanin selectivity than 1064nm Nd:YAG pico lasers; (2) Focus Lens Array — PicoSure’s proprietary diffractive optic creates LIOB zones for 23% collagen density gain that generic pico lasers lack; (3) pulse duration — PicoSure delivers 550-750 picoseconds, while some generic “pico” lasers run 300-900 picoseconds with less consistent energy profiles. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek uses genuine PicoSure for pico laser Myeongdong treatments.
How PicoSure Toning Differs at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Step by Step
The 4-step PicoSure Toning protocol versus generic pico laser sessions.
Step 1: PicoSure 755nm Alexandrite Selection
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek selects PicoSure 755nm alexandrite wavelength over 1064nm Nd:YAG for 3x higher melanin absorption selectivity. Generic pico laser systems often use 1064nm Nd:YAG primarily, which penetrates deeper but has weaker melanin absorption. For typical Korean Fitzpatrick III-IV skin, 755nm achieves 60-80% pigment clearance in 1-3 sessions versus 4-6 sessions with 1064nm — a 50% efficiency gain over regular pico laser platforms.
Step 2: Focus Lens Array Diffractive Optic Attachment
The doctor attaches the PicoSure Focus Lens Array (FLA) — a proprietary diffractive optic generic pico lasers lack. The FLA splits each 755nm pulse into hundreds of microscopic 100-200 micrometer LIOB (laser-induced optical breakdown) zones in the dermis. Each zone triggers controlled wound healing over 12-16 weeks, producing 23% increased dermal collagen density per Haimovic 2016 histological data. Generic pico lasers without FLA produce only surface-level pigment clearance.
Step 3: Low-Fluence Full-Face Delivery
PicoSure Toning mode uses low fluence (0.4-1.5 J/cm²) across the full face versus high-fluence spot treatment on individual dark lesions. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek delivers 2-3 passes per treatment area at 550-750 picosecond pulse duration, covering 20-25 cm² per minute. This contrasts with generic pico targeted treatment that uses 3-4 J/cm² on specific spots only. Full-face toning treats pigmentation plus pores plus texture plus tone simultaneously in 15-20 minutes.
Step 4: Cooling and Post-Treatment Protocol
Immediately after 15-20 minutes of PicoSure Toning, the clinic applies a soothing hydrating mask for 10 minutes and 10-minute LED therapy at 630nm to calm micro-inflammation. 90% of patients experience only 2-4 hours of mild redness — dramatically less than the 3-7 days of downtime associated with Q-switched lasers. Printed aftercare instructions in 8 languages cover SPF 50+ daily for 14 days and avoiding retinol for 7 days.
PicoSure Toning vs Regular Pico Laser: Benefits at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- 755nm Alexandrite Advantage: PicoSure uses 755nm with 3x higher melanin absorption than 1064nm Nd:YAG — 50% faster pigment clearance in 1-3 sessions versus 4-6 sessions with regular pico lasers.
- Focus Lens Array Exclusive: Cynosure’s proprietary FLA creates LIOB zones for 23% collagen density gain at 90 days — regular pico lasers lack this diffractive optic and produce pigment clearance only.
- Safer for Asian Skin: PicoSure’s 4.4% PIH rate (Chalermchai 2019) versus 10-15% with non-PicoSure pico lasers in Asian clinical studies — a 70% safety advantage for Fitzpatrick III-V patients.
- Dual-Mode Flexibility: Same PicoSure device serves as PicoSure Toning (low-fluence full-face) and Pico Fraxel (high-fluence fractional) — generic pico laser devices usually lack this versatility.
- Longer Maintenance Interval: PicoSure results last 12-18 months with annual maintenance — generic pico lasers typically require 6-month touchups in long-term treatment costs.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Treatment Day (45 min) | 15 min consultation, 15 min numbing, 15-20 min PicoSure Toning delivery, 10 min LED. Mild redness clears within 2-4 hours — no social downtime. |
| Day 1-7 | No visible crusts unlike Q-switched or nanosecond lasers. Skin feels smoother and looks brighter as superficial pigment starts clearing via lymphatic drainage. |
| Week 2-4 | 40-60% pigment clearance visible. Unlike regular pico lasers, PicoSure’s Focus Lens Array also smooths pores and refines texture simultaneously. |
| Month 2-3 | 60-80% pigment clearance maintained. Collagen remodeling from LIOB zones becomes visible — skin firmness improves 15-20% per ultrasound measurements. |
| Month 6 | Peak collagen density gain at 23% above baseline. Tone and texture improvements at maximum. Single session results surpass 3-session generic pico protocols. |
| Month 12-18 | PicoSure results maintained with SPF 50+ daily. Generic pico lasers typically need 6-month touchup — PicoSure doubles the maintenance interval. |

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity strongly affects PicoSure Toning outcomes because fluence and spot size 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 Toning parameters for each patient’s skin type.
Korea picosecond laser pricing is 40-70% less than US equivalents and 30-50% less than Japan per KHIDI 2025 data. RE:BERRY compares to in the US and in Japan — often at accessible pricing.

The Science: PicoSure Toning vs Regular Pico Laser Mechanisms
Peer-reviewed evidence comparing 755nm alexandrite to 1064nm Nd:YAG picosecond platforms.
Wavelength Matters: 755nm Alexandrite vs 1064nm Nd:YAG
The primary mechanistic difference between PicoSure Toning and regular pico laser systems lies in wavelength selection. PicoSure uses 755nm alexandrite, which has 3x greater melanin absorption coefficient than 1064nm Nd:YAG at comparable pulse durations. Brauer et al. (2015) demonstrated that 755nm picosecond laser produced 72% clearance of epidermal and dermal pigment in 2-4 sessions compared to nanosecond alexandrite requiring 6-10 sessions for equivalent results. Generic pico laser platforms often prioritize 1064nm for deeper penetration in tattoo removal, but this wavelength choice reduces melanin selectivity for facial pigmentation treatment. For Fitzpatrick III-IV Asian skin, the 755nm wavelength achieves 60-80% pigment clearance in 1-3 sessions at a 4.4% PIH rate.
Focus Lens Array: Cynosure’s Proprietary Diffractive Optic
PicoSure’s Focus Lens Array (FLA) is a proprietary diffractive optic that distinguishes genuine PicoSure Toning from all generic pico laser platforms. The FLA splits each 755nm pulse into hundreds of 100-200 micrometer laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) zones across the dermis. Haimovic et al. (2016) published a prospective study of 35 patients showing PicoSure with FLA produced statistically significant improvement in wrinkles, skin texture, and dyschromia after 4 sessions at 4-week intervals, with histological evidence of 23% increased dermal collagen density at 3-month follow-up. No generic pico laser platform currently replicates this FLA mechanism — regular pico lasers produce pigment clearance without the collagen remodeling effect.
Safety Profile: PicoSure vs Generic Pico in Asian Skin
The PIH safety profile of PicoSure Toning has been validated in extensive Asian skin clinical trials. Chalermchai et al. (2019) conducted a randomized controlled trial of 45 Thai patients with melasma treated with 755nm PicoSure, reporting 61% mean MASI score improvement at 12 weeks with only 4.4% incidence of transient PIH. This contrasts with published data on generic 1064nm pico lasers showing 10-15% PIH rates in equivalent Fitzpatrick III-V populations. The 3-4x lower PIH rate with PicoSure at 755nm reflects both superior melanin selectivity and more consistent sub-picosecond thermal confinement in the PicoSure platform versus generic competitors.
