▶ Pico Fractional Laser (Skin Texture & Fine Line Treatment)

First-Time Trial Full Face: ¥33,000 (tax incl.)
Full Face: ¥44,000 (tax incl.)

Nose + Cheeks: ¥27,500 (tax incl.)

▶ Pico Fractional Laser (Skin Texture & Fine Line Treatment)

This treatment involves the use of a PicoSure laser equipped with a special focusing lens that increases energy density, which is then applied to the skin. It is a comprehensive skin rejuvenation laser treatment primarily aimed at improving skin texture. The treatment involves the phagocytic activity of immune cells, so we recommend evaluating the results over the course of several months. Treatment with PicoSure delivers significantly greater effectiveness compared to traditional Q-switched YAG or Ruby lasers. For targeted pigment spots (such as well-defined age spots or freckles), Pico Spot Laser treatment is recommended.

▶ Pico Fractional Laser (Skin Texture & Fine Line Treatment)

Redness, Warmth, Itching, Swelling: Mild redness or warmth may occur following the treatment. These symptoms usually subside within a day, or a few days at most. In rare cases, swelling may be more noticeable. If you are concerned, please schedule a follow-up consultation.
Treatment Response: In rare cases, the treatment may not respond as expected. Please note that no refunds will be provided in such cases. The number of sessions required and the degree of improvement in pigmentation, skin texture, and fine lines may vary between individuals.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): In some cases, pigmentation may become darker within a month after treatment. In rare cases, this darkening may exceed the original pigmentation. If this occurs, gradual improvement may be achieved with the use of oral medications or hydroquinone cream (additional fee applies).
Pimples: In rare cases, you may experience an increase in pimples. This is usually temporary, but in very rare instances, the condition may persist for a longer period of time.
Hypopigmentation (White Spots): In extremely rare cases, hypopigmentation may occur. If you notice any such changes, please be sure to inform us at your next visit.

▶ Pico Fractional Laser (Skin Texture & Fine Line Treatment)

The Pico Fractional Laser treatment is most effective when received once a month. If you notice any darkening of pigmentation, please inform us at your next visit.
Medications: Oral medications are essential during the laser treatment period. The following are typically prescribed to enhance treatment outcomes and support recovery.
●Hythiol (L-cysteine)
Works with vitamin C to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis, thereby helping to prevent pigmentation and promote the removal of existing melanin.
●Cinal (Vitamin C + Pantothenic acid)
Provides antioxidant effects that help suppress melanin synthesis.
●Tranexamic acid
Suppresses plasmin, a melanocyte-activating factor involved in melanin synthesis. As it is also a hemostatic agent, it should not be used by individuals with a history of thrombotic disorders or those taking oral contraceptives. Use for three consecutive months, followed by a break of at least one month. Discontinue if you experience side effects such as abdominal discomfort, swelling, stiff shoulders, or irregular menstruation.
●Juvela (Vitamin E)
Supports skin metabolism and circulation while providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits for pigmentation improvement.
UV Exposure: Please be sure to protect the treated area from ultraviolet (UV) exposure by using sunscreen or products such as U•Vlock.
Hydroquinone Cream: Please avoid using hydroquinone cream on the laser-treated areas for 1 week after the procedure.
Scabbing: In rare cases, scab-like formations, similar to mascara marks, may appear on the skin after the procedure. Please do not forcibly remove the scabs; instead, allow them to fall off naturally with gentle facial cleansing.
Skincare Products: Please refrain from using skincare products or medications that contain ingredients such as hydroquinone or retinol, which may cause peeling or redness, during the course of laser treatment.
Other Concerns: If you have any questions or notice anything unusual, please do not hesitate to contact us.

▶Pico Laser Toning (A Gentle Treatment for Spots and Dullness)

This is a gentle laser treatment that uses low-energy settings to avoid causing scabbing, while gradually reducing overall skin dullness and improving skin clarity. The treatment involves the phagocytic activity of immune cells, so we recommend evaluating the results over the course of several months. Treatment with PicoSure delivers significantly greater effectiveness compared to traditional Q-switched YAG or Ruby lasers.

Redness, Warmth, Itching, Swelling: Mild redness or warmth may occur following the treatment. These symptoms usually subside within a day, or a few days at most. In rare cases, swelling may be more noticeable. If you are concerned, please schedule a follow-up consultation.

Melasma: While PicoSure picosecond laser toning can improve melasma in some cases, there are instances where it may worsen. If this occurs, topical treatments such as tretinoin and hydroquinone may be used.

▶Pico Laser Toning (A Gentle Treatment for Spots and Dullness)

Maintenance Toning: Picosecond laser toning should initially be performed every one to two weeks. Once you start seeing noticeable improvements, receiving treatments once a month will be more effective. If you notice any darkening of pigmentation, please inform us at your next visit.
Medications: Oral medications are essential during the laser toning treatment period. The following are typically prescribed to enhance treatment outcomes and support recovery.
●Hythiol (L-cysteine)
Works with vitamin C to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis, thereby helping to prevent pigmentation and promote the removal of existing melanin.

Discontinue if you experience side effects such as abdominal discomfort, swelling, stiff shoulders, or irregular menstruation.
Cleansing and Makeup: You may gently wash your face and apply makeup starting from the day of treatment. If you are accustomed to scrubbing your face, please switch to a gentler cleansing routine. Additionally, avoid letting the shower water come directly in contact with your face and practice gentle skincare.
UV Exposure: Please be sure to protect the treated area from ultraviolet (UV) exposure by using sunscreen or products such as U•Vlock.
Scabbing: In rare cases, scab-like formations, similar to mascara marks, may appear on the skin after the procedure. Please do not forcibly remove the scabs; instead, allow them to fall off naturally with gentle facial cleansing.

▶Pico Spot Laser (targeted treatment for well-defined pigmentation lesions)

This is a high-intensity laser treatment designed to target well-defined, pinpoint pigmentation (age/dark spots) or birthmarks. The laser is applied in a spot-treatment manner, creating small scabs that naturally fall off as part of the healing process. The treatment also involves the phagocytic activity of immune cells, so we recommend evaluating the results over the course of several months.

▶Pico Spot Laser (targeted treatment for well-defined pigmentation lesions)

Scabbing: Scabs may form on the treated areas, and the pigmentation may temporarily appear darker. These are signs of a normal and favorable healing process. Please do not forcibly remove the scabs; instead, allow them to fall off naturally with gentle facial cleansing.
Redness, Warmth, Itching, Swelling: Mild redness or warmth may occur following the treatment. These symptoms usually subside within a day, or a few days at most. In rare cases, swelling may be more noticeable. If you are concerned, please schedule a follow-up consultation.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): In some cases, pigmentation may become darker within a month after treatment. In rare cases, this darkening may exceed the original pigmentation. Multiple sessions of Pico laser toning (at additional fee) are often effective in improving this condition.
Hypopigmentation (White Spots): Rarely, hypopigmentation may occur. Please note that treatment for white spots can be difficult.
Treatment Response: In rare cases, the treatment may not respond as expected. Please note that no refunds will be provided in such cases. The number of sessions required and the degree of improvement may vary between individuals.

▶Pico Spot Laser (targeted treatment for well-defined pigmentation lesions)

Ointment: For pigmented spots larger than a few millimeters, please keep the treated area covered with tape for approximately ten days to two weeks after the procedure. The tape does not need to be replaced daily; please only replace it if it comes off. Please apply a thin layer of the prescribed ointment to the treated area; directly on small spots, and over the tape for larger spots that are covered. Keep the treated area consistently moisturized with the ointment, and continue application until the new skin has fully re-epithelialized.
Medications: Post-laser oral and topical medications are essential. The following are typically prescribed to enhance treatment outcomes and support recovery.
●Hythiol (L-cysteine)
Works with vitamin C to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis, thereby helping to prevent pigmentation and promote the removal of existing melanin.
●Cinal (Vitamin C + Pantothenic acid)
Provides antioxidant effects that help suppress melanin synthesis.
●Tranexamic acid
Suppresses plasmin, a melanocyte-activating factor involved in melanin synthesis. As it is also a hemostatic agent, it should not be used by individuals with a history of thrombotic disorders or those taking oral contraceptives. Use for three consecutive months, followed by a break of at least one month. Discontinue if you experience side effects such as abdominal discomfort, swelling, stiff shoulders, or irregular menstruation.
●Hydroquinone cream
Begin using this cream approximately two weeks after scabbing has fallen off and the new skin is fully epithelialized and dry. Apply a thin layer at night using a cotton swab, directly to the targeted area. If you experience significant redness or itching, stop using the cream and consult us.
UV Protection: Please be sure to take sufficient measures against UV exposure by using sunscreen and products such as U•Vlock.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): If PIH occurs, hydroquinone cream may be used. However, do not apply it to the laser-treated area for 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure. When you begin using the cream, apply a thin layer precisely to the treated area using a cotton swab or similar tool after washing your face at night. Discontinue use if you experience severe redness, itching, or other irritation.
Additional Laser Treatment: Please allow at least two months between sessions for additional laser treatment of pigmentation or birthmarks.
Skincare Products: Please refrain from using skincare products or medications that contain ingredients such as hydroquinone or retinol, which may cause peeling or redness, during the course of laser treatment.
