Pico Toning in Myeongdong, Seoul
A gentle picosecond laser that breaks up pigment for a brighter, clearer and more even complexion, with no downtime.
What is Pico Toning? Pico Toning is a low-energy picosecond laser treatment that shatters melanin pigment into tiny particles the body can clear naturally. It is used for melasma, sun spots, freckles, post-acne marks and dull skin tone. At Kleam Clinic Myeongdong, Pico Toning with Vitamin Care starts from ₩99,000 per session.
How Pico Toning works
Picosecond lasers deliver energy in trillionths of a second. This ultra-short pulse breaks pigment through a photo-acoustic effect rather than heat, so the surrounding skin is protected and the risk of rebound pigmentation is lower than with older lasers.
At low "toning" settings, the laser passes evenly over the face to lighten melasma and overall dullness. Kleam pairs Pico Toning with Vitamin Care, and offers Dual and Triple Toning packages that add Genesis and Clarity II blemish laser for stubborn spots.

Pico Toning in Seoul: frequently asked questions
Clear answers to what international guests ask most before booking.
How many Pico Toning sessions do I need?
Many guests see a brighter tone after 1–3 sessions. For melasma, a course of 5–10 sessions 1–2 weeks apart is usually recommended.
Does Pico Toning hurt?
Most guests feel only a light snapping or warm sensation. Numbing is rarely needed at toning settings.
Is there downtime after Pico Toning?
Usually none. You may see mild redness for an hour or two and can wear makeup the same day.
Pico Toning or IPL: which is better for pigmentation?
Pico Toning is gentler and better suited to melasma and darker skin. IPL works well for surface sun spots and redness on lighter skin. Your doctor will recommend the right option.
Can melasma come back?
Melasma is chronic and can be triggered by sun and hormones. Daily sunscreen and occasional maintenance sessions help keep it under control.
Can I do Pico Toning on a short trip?
Yes. One session gives a visible brightening effect with no downtime, and packages can be used across several visits.
