PicoPlus · Seomyeon, Busan · Foreigner-Friendly

PicoPlus in Busan Seomyeon, the power tier of picosecond.

Some pigment does not respond to gentle toning — consolidated spots, deep dermal pigment, tattoo ink. PicoPlus carries the peak power those targets require, in multiple wavelengths and a fractional mode, without abandoning the picosecond safety advantage. From ₩200,000 per session at our Busan, Korea clinic. English, 日本語 and 中文 consults. Medically reviewed by Dr. Jeong Heon Lee, MD.

Does This Sound Familiar?

What Busan patients ask before booking PicoPlus.

  • My spots have not moved despite months of toning — what now?
  • How many sessions does tattoo removal honestly take?
  • Is high-power pico safe on melasma, or will it rebound?
  • What is the fractional pico mode for?
  • PicoPlus or PicoWay — you run both, so which is mine?

All five come up most weeks in Busan. The sections below answer them in order — why consolidated pigment resists toning, honest tattoo session math, the melasma caution at power settings, what fractional pico adds, and the platform assignment rule.

What Is PicoPlus?

Same physics, far more power.

PicoPlus (Lutronic) is a picosecond platform built for targets that entry toning cannot move. It keeps the photoacoustic mechanism — pigment shattered by shockwave rather than cooked by heat — but delivers it at peak powers that fragment consolidated spots and tattoo ink, across multiple wavelengths for different ink colours and pigment depths.

It also carries a fractional handpiece that converts the beam into microscopic high-energy zones, used for texture and scar work rather than pigment. That range is why it sits at ₩200,000 per session on our published list while PicoCare toning sits at ₩20,000 — different jobs, honestly separated at the examination in our Busan, Korea clinic.

How It Works

The science, without the hype.

High peak power, multiple wavelengths — here is what each part does.

01

High peak power

Enough energy per pulse to fracture consolidated pigment and tattoo ink that low-fluence toning leaves untouched.

02

Multiple wavelengths

Different wavelengths suit different ink colours and pigment depths — one platform covering targets a single beam cannot.

03

Photoacoustic safety

Still picosecond: fragmentation happens before meaningful heat spreads, which is what keeps PIH risk manageable on Asian skin.

04

Fractional handpiece

Converts the beam into micro high-energy zones for texture and scar remodelling — a separate job from pigment clearance.

Your Visit, Step by Step

Six steps at our Busan clinic, ten to thirty minutes per pass.

01

Target grading

The doctor grades whether your pigment is toning-responsive or power-requiring at our Busan clinic — and screens melasma before any high-fluence pass.

02

Photos and written plan

Fixed-light photos, then wavelength, mode, session count and price in writing. Tattoo cases get an honest clearance range, not a promise.

03

Numbing where needed

Spot work and tattoo passes are numbed; light passes often need nothing at all.

04

The pass

Wavelength and mode selected per target — ten to thirty minutes depending on area and density.

05

The settling

Spot work frosts then crusts for three to five days; tattoo passes swell and scab longer. Toning-level passes settle in hours.

06

Interval and review

Spots repeat at three to four weeks, tattoos at six to eight — fragments need time to clear, and photos decide each next step.

The Clearance Curve

What treatment honestly delivers.

When What you will notice What to do
Day 0 Treated spots frost white immediately then settle; tattoo zones swell and darken. Ointment and covering per the written protocol. No picking, ever.
Day 1–5 Crusts form and hold over treated spots — concealable but not to be disturbed. Gentle cleansing only. SPF from the moment crusts shed.
Week 2–4 Crusts gone, fresh skin pink then blending; the spot is visibly lighter or gone. The fixed-light photo decides whether a second pass is needed at all.
Course end Stubborn pigment cleared; tattoo clearance graded honestly against the starting photo. Some ink colours never fully clear — stated before the first session, not after.
Honest Suitability

Who it suits in Busan — and who should wait.

A good fit if you…

  • Discrete spots that toning courses have failed to move
  • Tattoo removal wanting honest clearance grading rather than promises
  • Texture and scar work suited to the fractional pico mode
  • PIH-prone skin needing photoacoustic rather than thermal clearance
  • Busan visitors — spot work completes in one visit with travel-friendly crusts

Better to wait if you…

  • Pregnancy — deferred as standard
  • Active tan or recent sun — two shaded weeks first, without exception
  • Melasma-dominant pigment — high-fluence passes are how melasma rebounds, and we decline them
  • Diffuse dullness alone — routed to entry toning at ₩20,000 instead

After your treatment

  • Ointment and covering through the crust days; never pick
  • SPF daily from the moment crusts shed, without exception
  • No sauna, swimming or hard training while crusts hold
  • Fixed-light photos referee clearance — memory flatters, photos do not

Honest limits

  • Some tattoo ink colours never fully clear — graded and stated before the first pass
  • Melasma rebounds at power settings; it is managed conservatively elsewhere on the menu
  • Crust days are intrinsic to spot clearance — clinics hiding them are hiding the mechanism
Our Medical Team

PicoPlus or PicoWay — you run both, so which is mine?

Both are picosecond platforms and their results overlap honestly in the middle. Differences show at the edges: wavelength sets and handpiece behaviour suit different ink colours and pigment depths, and one will read better for a given case than the other. So the assignment at our Busan clinic is made on your actual target — spot depth, ink colour, whether fractional work is part of the plan — rather than on a price tier, since both sit at the same published starting price. Owning two picosecond platforms exists precisely so that choice can be clinical.

Three doctors, one standard of care.

From the Founder

Graded and treated in person by one of our doctors.

The patients who need this machine usually arrive frustrated — months of toning, spots unmoved. The honest answer is that they were treated with the right mechanism at the wrong power. Grading that correctly takes a minute, and it saves people a year of gentle sessions that were never going to reach consolidated pigment.

Quick Answers

How many sessions does tattoo removal honestly take?

It depends on variables we grade before quoting anything: ink colour (black clears most predictably, greens and light blues resist), depth and density, whether it was amateur or professional work, your skin type, and how well your immune system clears fragments. Sessions sit six to eight weeks apart because that clearance takes time. At our Busan clinic we photograph the starting point, give a realistic session range rather than a number, and state plainly which colours may never fully clear — because the alternative is selling a course against a promise nobody can keep.

Is high-power pico safe on melasma?

High fluence is exactly where melasma punishes over-treatment — the pigment can rebound worse than it started, and that outcome is common enough that we treat it as a rule rather than a risk. So melasma-dominant skin is screened out of power settings at our Busan clinic and routed to conservative melasma protocols instead. Where melasma coexists with other stubborn pigment, the sequence matters: melasma is stabilised first, and only clearly separate targets are treated at power.

Everything Else You Might Ask

PicoPlus questions in Busan.

₩200,000 per session on the published list, with the count written at the exam. Where entry toning would serve you at ₩20,000, that is what we recommend. No foreigner markup.

Yes — English, Japanese (日本語) and Chinese (中文). We are a 5-minute walk from Seomyeon Station Exit 2, and clearance photos are reviewed on WhatsApp after you fly home from Busan.

Peak power and wavelength range. Same picosecond mechanism, but at fluences that fracture consolidated spots and tattoo ink which low-fluence toning cannot move.

Stubborn discrete pigment, tattoo ink, and — through the fractional handpiece — texture and scar remodelling. Diffuse dullness belongs to the entry platform instead.

Spot and tattoo work is numbed at our Busan clinic; the sensation is a sharp snap per pulse. Lighter passes often need no numbing at all.

At our Busan clinic spot work frosts then crusts for three to five days; tattoo passes swell and scab longer. Crusts must not be picked.

One to three for most stubborn discrete spots at our Busan clinic, three to four weeks apart, written before you start.

Graded individually by ink colour, depth and density with an honest range rather than a fixed number, spaced six to eight weeks. Some colours never fully clear.

The picosecond mechanism keeps thermal load low, which is what makes power settings manageable on pigment-prone skin — with type-matched settings and a strict no-tan rule.

Not at power settings. Melasma rebounds under high fluence and is managed with conservative protocols elsewhere on our menu — we decline the aggressive version.

Texture and scar remodelling through microscopic high-energy zones — a separate protocol from pigment clearance, planned on its own timeline.

Yes — tattoo removal and sun-consolidated spots book heavily among men at our Busan clinic.

Yes — you can fly out of Busan the same day. Crusts travel fine under ointment; the clearance photo arrives by message.

Sun and self-tanner for two weeks, retinoids for a few days, and any fresh irritation on the target zone.

Picking crusts above all, then sauna, swimming and hard training while they hold, and unprotected sun once they shed.

Stubborn spots visibly cleared in one to three sessions and tattoos lightened across a graded course, read in fixed-light photos. What no honest clinic promises: complete clearance of every ink colour, melasma treated at power, or crust-free spot removal.
