Overview
Pico Laser is widely used in Korean dermatology clinics for pigmentation, freckles, dull skin tone, and selected tattoo removal cases. It can be used in different modes, including toning-style treatments and more targeted pigment approaches. For melasma-prone skin, careful diagnosis and conservative settings are important because aggressive treatment may worsen pigmentation. Visitors should ask whether the goal is brightening, spot treatment, melasma care, or tattoo removal.
