If you're struggling with acne scars, pigmentation, or dull skin, you’ve probably heard of Pico Toning.
This laser treatment is one of Korea’s most popular options for achieving smooth, bright skin without major downtime.
I tried 3 sessions during my stay in Seoul — here’s my honest review!
What is Pico Toning?
Pico Toning uses ultra-short laser pulses to break down melanin and improve overall skin tone.
Unlike traditional lasers, it's faster, less painful, and great for Asian and sensitive skin types.
Why I Got It
- Post-acne marks
- Uneven skin tone
- Wanted that “glass skin” look before going back home
Clinic & Cost
I visited a popular clinic in Hongdae that offered an English consultation and a “3-session package” deal.
- Price: 390,000 KRW (~$290 USD) total
- Each session: about 20–25 minutes
Treatment Experience
- Session 1: Slight tingling, redness for 1 day, skin felt softer
- Session 2: Pigmentation started fading, pores looked tighter
- Session 3: Clearer, brighter skin tone — especially on cheeks
Pain Level: 3/10 (like tiny rubber snaps)
No peeling or downtime, just mild redness each time
My Results
- Skin tone visibly brighter
- Post-acne marks faded by around 60%
- Makeup applied more evenly
- Pores and texture improved
Would I Recommend It?
YES — especially if you’re looking for a glow-up without major side effects.
Do it in Korea where the tech is top-tier and prices are reasonable!
