Dual-mode treatment combining fractional and toning
Improve skin concerns from multiple angles
BIANCA CLINIC's PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment utilizes the PicoSure laser from CynoSure, Inc. of the USA. Its dual irradiation of fractional mode and toning addresses not only wrinkles, pores, and acne scars, but also dark spots and dullness, providing comprehensive improvement for your skin concerns.
Fractional mode uses a lens that converts the laser into a dotted (fractional) pattern to deliver high-density laser energy, creating microscopic cavities within the epidermis to promote skin reconstruction and rejuvenation. Toning is a treatment that gradually breaks down and expels melanin pigment by showering the skin with low-output laser energy. This improves dark spots and dullness while guiding the skin toward a translucent, porcelain-like complexion. The BIANCA METHOD's Pico Focus (Pico Fractional) utilizes these two types of laser irradiation to address diverse concerns, enhance skin condition, tighten pores, and refine the skin to a beautiful state.

CHARACTERISTICSPicoFocus (PicoFractional) is
PicoFocus (PicoFractional) is a treatment that uses a high-density laser to create micro-cavities within the epidermis, promoting skin regeneration. It aims to increase collagen and elastin in the dermis to improve wrinkles, enlarged pores, and dark spots. PicoFocus (PicoFractional) is also effective in improving uneven, crater-like acne scars.
BIANCA CLINIC's PicoFocus (PicoFractional) addresses dark spots and dullness when combined with toning. It improves superficial pigmentation while stimulating the dermis to restore firmness and elasticity from within. It's recommended not only for those seeking to improve various skin concerns, but also for those who wish to "restore their skin's inherent beauty" or "achieve skin rejuvenation." Consistent treatments also effectively combat sagging.
Using Cynosure's "PicoSure"
PicoSure, used for pico-focused (pico-fractional) treatments, is manufactured by Cynosure, Inc., a leading U.S. medical laser manufacturer. It is FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved for the removal of pigmented lesions such as age spots, freckles, and ADM (Acquired Dermal Melanocytosis), as well as for the improvement of fine wrinkles and acne scars.
PicoSure delivers laser energy in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second), featuring an irradiation time 1/1000th of a second shorter than the previously standard nanosecond lasers. It causes minimal thermal effects on the skin, and for toning, it can break down pigments using shock waves.
Conventional CO2 fractional laser treatments create numerous microscopic holes on the skin's surface to stimulate regeneration, resulting in downtime of about one week with symptoms like stinging, heat sensation, redness, and rough skin texture. In contrast, PicoSure's PicoFocus (Pico Fractional) treatment uses high-density laser pulses to create cavities within the epidermis. This approach avoids damaging the skin's surface, minimizing overall skin trauma.
BIANCA provides high-quality treatments
At BIANCA CLINIC, our physicians, with their accumulated knowledge and experience, carefully assess each patient's skin type and symptoms to propose the optimal treatment plan. Furthermore, PicoSure laser treatments are performed exclusively by physicians and nurses who have successfully completed BIANCA CLINIC's rigorous, high-difficulty training program. Not every staff member is qualified to perform this procedure.
The training is rigorous, requiring several months of intensive study to thoroughly master knowledge of pigmentation treatment, PicoSure output settings, and irradiation techniques. Using the established BIANCA METHOD and the solid skills acquired through training and accumulated case experience, we deliver highly satisfying results that cannot be achieved by simply applying laser irradiation.
Benefits
MERITCombined with toning, this dual treatment can also improve dark spots.
BIANCA CLINIC's PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment combines toning with dual irradiation. It offers comprehensive improvement for concerns ranging from pores, acne scars, and redness to rough skin, dark spots, and dullness.
A treatment that promotes skin reconstruction and restores its inherent beauty
The treatment uses a high-density laser to create micro-cavities within the epidermis, promoting skin reconstruction. It increases collagen and elastin in the dermis, restoring the skin's inherent beauty.
Minimizes skin irritation while delivering high efficacy
PicoFocus (PicoFractional) is appealing because it can target the epidermis without damaging the skin's surface. It improves skin texture without forming scabs, minimizing disruption to daily life.
Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSFor those concerned about both skin texture and deep dark spots, combination therapy is recommended.
PicoFocus (PicoFractional) improves skin texture while also addressing dark spots and dullness. However, for those concerned about deep dark spots, we recommend combination therapy with PicoSpot.
Pico Spot is a treatment where the physician spot-applies pico laser to each individual spot, offering the advantage of greater effectiveness per session compared to Pico Focus (Pico Fractional) or Pico Toning. It is particularly effective on areas with numerous scattered sunspots or freckles caused by UV exposure. Although spots may temporarily darken for 4-5 days after treatment, tape protection is not required as with conventional lasers. Combining it with Pico Focus (Pico Fractional) allows treatment while addressing skin tone unevenness.
PicoFocus (PicoFractional) is recommended for those who cannot afford downtime.
PicoFocus (PicoFractional) is a skin rejuvenation laser treatment ideal for those who cannot afford downtime. After treatment, mild redness typically lasts about one day, and since scabs do not form, it has minimal impact on daily life. Makeup can be applied immediately after the procedure, and any remaining redness can be easily covered with primer or foundation. It is recommended for individuals who wish to avoid disruptions to work or personal life, or who prefer to conceal any downtime.
Additionally, compared to previous fractional lasers, the discomfort during treatment has been reduced. If you've previously given up or stopped treatment due to pain, we encourage you to consider this option. If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult with the doctors or nurses at BIANCA CLINIC.
After PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment, avoid irritation in your daily life.
PicoFocus (PicoFractional) is a treatment that offers high efficacy while minimizing downtime. However, with higher output settings, redness and warmth may take more than three days to subside. Since the skin is sensitive after laser treatment, avoid friction and irritants, and protect your skin from dryness and UV rays.
Aftercare for treatments like PicoFocus (PicoFractional) and PicoSpot involves basic steps such as avoiding rubbing the skin during washing or cleansing, steering clear of cosmetics containing scrub or peeling ingredients, and applying a low-irritation sunscreen during the day. Masks can also irritate the skin, so please avoid wearing them if you experience redness or flushing.

Physician's examination and counseling
During your consultation, we will explain the details of PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment. A physician will examine your skin condition. Using the high-performance skin diagnostic device “VISIA,” we analyze your skin's precise condition—beyond what can be determined by visual inspection alone—and propose an appropriate treatment plan. Please share any concerns, questions, or anxieties you may have, along with your specific wishes.
Anesthesia
During treatment, you may feel warmth or a prickling sensation like being flicked with rubber bands. While anesthesia is generally not required for PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment, we can apply anesthetic cream to reduce discomfort if you are concerned. Please let us know if you would like this option.

Frequently Asked Questions About PicoFocus (Pico Toning + Pico Fractional)
Q&AWhen do the effects of PicoFocus (PicoFractional) become apparent after treatment?
When the shockwaves from the PicoFocus (PicoFractional) laser reach the dermis, micro-cavities form within the epidermis, triggering an inflammatory response. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, with effects gradually becoming apparent over time following treatment.
How often should I get PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatments?
PicoFocus (PicoFractional) delivers increasingly noticeable results with each session. The recommended interval between laser treatments is approximately 4 weeks. Depending on your skin condition, we recommend 5 to 10 treatments. BIANCA CLINIC offers single-session, 5-session, and 10-session plans.
Are there any side effects or downtime?
The course and condition after PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment vary by individual, but mild redness, warmth, or itching may occur. Most symptoms subside within 24 hours and have minimal impact on daily life. When combined with PicoSpot treatment, redness, mild swelling, blisters, or acne-like symptoms may develop over several days, and pigmentation in the treated area may temporarily darken.
When can I apply makeup after the treatment?
Makeup may be applied immediately after PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment. The clinic does not provide makeup supplies. Patients who wish to apply makeup after treatment should bring their own supplies as needed. For PicoSpot treatment, makeup may be applied starting the following day.
When can I start bathing and exercising after treatment?
After PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment, bathing and showering are permitted starting the same day. Please refrain from strenuous exercise, sweaty sports, saunas, alcohol consumption, and smoking until the following day.
Can I receive treatment even if I have a sunburn?
If you have sunburned within the past four weeks, you cannot receive treatment.
Can I receive PicoFocus (PicoFractional) treatment while pregnant?
At BIANCA CLINIC, we kindly ask that all pregnant individuals refrain from receiving any treatments. We appreciate your understanding.
Can I have anesthesia during treatment?
During treatment, you may feel warmth or a prickling sensation like being flicked with rubber bands. However, most people find this level of discomfort tolerable without anesthesia. If you have any concerns, please let us know.
