Treatment Overview
Deep Pico Rejuvenation is an advanced Pico Laser protocol in Korean dermatology designed to penetrate deeper into the dermis to treat wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, and skin laxity, while also improving pigmentation. Unlike regular Pico Toning, which mainly targets superficial pigment, Deep Pico uses higher fluence and special fractional handpieces to stimulate collagen and elastin remodeling at a deeper level.
It is often chosen by patients who want anti-aging, scar improvement, and texture repair with less downtime compared to fractional CO₂ lasers.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Wrinkles, Scars, Pores, Aging, Pigmentation family (Pico Toning, UltraPulse CO₂, Mosaic Fractional, INFINI RF, Thermage FLX):
- Deep Pico Rejuvenation: Best for scars + wrinkles + collagen remodeling.
- Pico Toning: Best for pigment and light rejuvenation.
- UltraPulse CO₂: Best for severe scars and deep resurfacing.
- Mosaic Fractional: Best for pores and fine texture with faster recovery.
- INFINI RF: Best for dermal tightening and scar revision.
Purpose & Benefits
- Scar Improvement: Reduces acne scars and atrophic marks.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines and early to moderate wrinkles.
- Pore Refinement: Collagen stimulation tightens enlarged pores.
- Skin Tightening: Firms mild sagging and improves elasticity.
- Pigment Control: Breaks down melanin clusters for even tone.
- Collagen Remodeling: Fractional Pico technology stimulates long-term regeneration.
- Gentle Alternative: Less downtime than ablative CO₂ or plasma lasers.

Deep Pico Rejuvenation in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults with acne scars, wrinkles, or enlarged pores.
- Patients with photoaged skin or uneven texture.
- Individuals who want rejuvenation and tightening without aggressive downtime.

- Rare Risks: Post-inflammatory pigmentation (rare with expert care).
Surgical Techniques Used
Deep Pico Rejuvenation uses fractional and high-fluence Pico laser delivery:
- Laser Device: Pico laser (532/755/1064 nm, depending on target depth).
- Fractional Handpiece: Creates microthermal zones for collagen remodeling.
- Ultra-Short Pulses: Shatters pigment and stimulates fibroblasts.
- Dual Action: Improves pigmentation + texture simultaneously.
- Protocol: 3–5 sessions every 3–4 weeks; yearly maintenance optional.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Mild redness, skin feels tighter.
- 1–3 Days: Slight dryness or flaking.
- 2–4 Weeks: Noticeable improvement in pores, scars, and wrinkles.
- 3–6 Months: Ongoing collagen remodeling for tightening.
Aftercare Tips:
- Apply SPF 50+ daily.
- Use hydrating, barrier-repair skincare (HA, ceramides).
- Avoid scrubs, acids, or retinoids for 3–5 days.
- Stay on schedule with multiple sessions for best results.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Smoother and firmer-feeling skin.
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Pigmentation fades, scars and pores improve.
- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Wrinkles reduced, skin tighter.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–18 months with maintenance.
