How does PicoSure Toning differ from ordinary toning?

Picosecond (one trillionth of a second) pulses shatter pigment more finely to help it clear away, and by reducing thermal stimulation it also helps improve skin texture.

How many sessions do I need?

It depends on the degree of pigmentation; it usually fades step by step over several repeated sessions.

Is there pain or downtime?

It feels like a slight prickling, and there is almost no downtime, so daily life is possible right after the treatment.

How long does the effect last?

Pigmentation can recur due to UV exposure and other factors, so sun protection and regular care are important.

PicoSure Toning

Pigmentation handled precisely, skin texture left smooth — with a 755nm picosecond laser

id PicoSure Toning is a laser toning treatment that finely breaks down pigment with a 755nm Alexandrite picosecond laser and PressureWave™ technology, helping improve pigmentation such as melasma, blemishes and freckles as well as skin texture.

id PicoSure Toning

PicoSure Toning is a laser toning treatment that improves a range of pigment lesions such as melasma, blemishes and freckles while also managing a dull skin tone and skin texture. The treatment proceeds with your skin condition and the characteristics of the pigmentation in mind, helping bring about a clear, even skin tone and a healthier skin condition.

It suits those whose skin tone looks dull, those concerned about pigmentation, and those who want clean, even skin overall.

PicoSure Toning uses a 755nm Alexandrite picosecond laser to deliver high energy over an extremely short time, and works by breaking pigment particles down even more finely through PressureWave™ technology. The broken-down pigment is then helped to clear gradually over time through the body's natural metabolic process.

Rather than burning pigment with heat, it breaks pigment down mainly through a photoacoustic action, reducing the thermal effect on surrounding tissue while helping treat pigment lesions more precisely.

PicoSure Toning — how many sessions do you need?

PicoSure Toning is a laser toning treatment planned as a repeated course, taking your skin condition and the type and depth of the pigmentation into account, rather than a single session. Because the cause and distribution of pigmentation differ from person to person, the number of sessions and the intervals can vary, and tailored treatment proceeds according to the diagnosis of id Clinic's medical team, backed by 20 years of data and know-how.

To maintain a healthier, clearer skin tone, it is important to combine sun protection with consistent skin care.
