For pigmentation treatment, 532\u2009nm irradiation was delivered with 3 and 4\u2009mm spot sizes at fluences ranging from 0.4 to 1.0\u2009J\/cm\u00b2, and 1064\u2009nm irradiation was applied with 2, 3, and 4\u2009mm spot sizes at fluences of 1.2 to 3.0\u2009J\/cm\u00b2. For rejuvenation treatment, 1064\u2009nm irradiation (8\u2009mm spot size, 0.4\u2009J\/cm\u00b2) was employed. Skin samples were collected immediately after treatment and at 7 and 30 days post\u2010irradiation. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate epidermal morphology and melanosome ultrastructure. Fontana\u2013Masson staining was performed to assess melanin distribution and content, combined with CD163 immunofluorescence to visualize the colocalization of melanin and macrophages. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analyses were conducted to determine tyrosinase expression levels. Multiplex immunohistochemistry was further applied to detect melanocytic markers (SOX10, MART\u20101), collagen I\/III, growth factors (TGF\u2010\u03b21, GDF11), and barrier\u2010related proteins (filaggrin, claudins).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Picosecond laser treatment immediately induced epidermal vacuolization and melanosome disruption, followed by a progressive reduction in epidermal melanin over time, which was more prominent in the 532\u2009nm treatment group compared with 1064\u2009nm. Fontana\u2013Masson and immunofluorescence staining revealed abundant CD163\u2010positive macrophages colocalized with melanin in the dermis on Day 7, indicating active phagocytosis of pigment debris. SOX10\u2010 and MART\u20101\u2010positive melanocytes were rare at Day 0 and absent thereafter in laser\u2010treated skin. Western blot analysis showed that tyrosinase expression was significantly downregulated from Day 7 and remained suppressed through Day 30, suggesting inhibition of melanogenesis. Regarding rejuvenation, dermal collagen I and III slightly decreased at Day 7 but markedly increased by Day 30. TGF\u2010\u03b21 and GDF11 were upregulated following treatment. Filaggrin and claudins increased at Day 7 and declined at Day 30 but remained above baseline, indicating improved barrier integrity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Picosecond lasers effectively induced pigment reduction, immune\u2010mediated clearance and melanogenesis inhibition, while concomitantly promoting dermal regeneration and epidermal barrier repair.
