Who it's for
This package suits sun spots and age spots, freckles and patchy tone. If you have melasma, strong light can make it worse, so your doctor will usually swap IPL for gentler toning. Read pigmentation types explained. At your consultation, your doctor examines your pigment in good light, sometimes with magnification, to confirm the type before any light is used.
What's included
- IPL Photofacial: broad-spectrum light that lifts visible brown spots and diffuse redness in one pass.
- Pico Toning: picosecond laser that breaks up the finer pigment left behind and evens tone with little downtime.
- LDM Water Drop Lifting: soothing ultrasound after each session to calm heat and redness.
IPL clears the obvious spots, then Pico Toning refines what remains. Compare Pico Toning vs IPL.
The schedule
- Visit 1: consultation, cleansing, IPL for about 20 minutes, then LDM.
- Days 1–7: treated spots turn darker and flake off on their own. Do not pick them.
- Visit 2, about 7–14 days later: once the flakes have cleared, Pico Toning for 15–20 minutes, then LDM.
Fitting the sessions into your trip
Book Visit 1 in the first days of your stay so the second session lands before you fly. A stay of about 10–14 days is ideal. If your trip is shorter, your doctor can adapt the plan to a single visit. Darkened spots are easy to cover with makeup from the next day. Between visits, enjoy Seoul as normal, but wear a hat and sunscreen, and skip saunas, bathhouses and hot yoga for a couple of days after IPL.
What results to expect
Many people see sun spots lighten clearly within a couple of weeks of IPL. Finer pigment fades more gradually with toning. How much clears depends on how deep the pigment sits and how well you protect your skin afterward.
After you fly home
Pigment usually needs a series, so think of this package as the start of a course. Continue toning at a clinic at home or on your next visit, and apply SPF 50 every morning, reapplying outdoors; UV is the main reason spots return. Avoid retinoids and scrubs for about a week after each session. Read sun protection after laser and what to do if you cannot finish a series.
Customizing the package
Your doctor may add Laser Toning or extra Pico Toning sessions, or swap IPL for Excel V if redness is the main issue. Laser is not done on tanned skin or while taking isotretinoin.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers from our medical team. Still unsure? Ask a doctor or browse all patient questions .
Why two visits instead of one?
IPL and Pico Toning work best a little apart. IPL first lifts the visible spots, and once the flakes have cleared, Pico Toning refines the finer pigment that remains.
Can I fly while spots are darker after IPL?
Yes. Darkened spots are a normal, temporary part of healing. Keep the skin moisturized on the plane and wear sunscreen, especially by a window seat. See laser before a flight.
Does this package work for melasma?
Melasma needs gentle, repeated toning, and IPL can sometimes make it darker. Your doctor will adjust the plan if melasma is present. Read melasma treatment options in Korea.
How many sessions will I need in total?
Some sun spots clear in one or two sessions, while freckles and uneven tone usually need a longer course. See how many Pico Toning sessions you need.
When can I wear makeup?
Usually the next day after each session. Use gentle products and remove them carefully so you do not rub off flaking spots.
