Even when I applied makeup, my overall skin tone looked dull, and the blemishes and marks on my cheeks stood out quite a bit. After much deliberation, I decided to get Pico Toning in Gwangju.

Usually, applying just cushion foundation covered it to some extent, but my skin itself looked dull.

When I took photos like this using the camera's default settings, my skin tone looked patchy, so I was 괜히 self-conscious about taking pictures.

At first, I tried to solve it with home care, using whitening ampoules and consistently applying face masks, but I didn't see as noticeable a change as I expected. So, I decided I needed to get proper treatment this time. I looked into Pico Toning in Gwangju, made an appointment, and visited!

During the consultation, they didn't just look at my melasma; they also checked my skin tone and the condition of any remaining marks.

Since my skin is generally on the thinner side, they explained that it would be better to take a slow approach focusing on evening out my skin tone rather than using harsh methods. I liked that they didn't feel like they were pushing it too hard. After receiving the Gwangju Pico Toning treatment, I felt a slight warmth on the same day, but it didn't get as red as I had expected.

After about two days, I felt like my skin tone looked slightly more even, and after about a week, I was less concerned about my makeup looking cakey.

I tried not to rub my face too much when washing it, and I paid extra attention to applying moisturizer than usual.

For me, rather than seeing a dramatic change all at once after the Gwangju Pico Toning, I felt like my blemishes disappeared after a few days.

In particular, I needed less tone correction when applying makeup, and my skin looked less cakey than before, which I really liked haha.

Hearing a few compliments from people around me saying my skin looked good made me want to keep taking care of it~

For those like me who are worried about dull skin tone or blemishes, I think Gwangju Pico Toning is a good treatment to start with without feeling too much pressure. Of course, the speed of change you experience may vary from person to person depending on their skin type and sensitivity.

For now, I plan to get a few more treatments and keep recording how my skin tone changes and how it lasts!
