Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Gangnam Seoul
Clearer, more even skin at Cheongdam JCELL
Hyperpigmentation — melasma, sun-induced spots and post-inflammatory marks — treated with lasers and skincare matched to its cause, depth and your skin tone.

In short
Hyperpigmentation means areas of skin become darker due to excess melanin. Common causes include sun exposure, hormones (melasma), and inflammation from acne or irritation (PIH). Treatment combines appropriate lasers — such as pico laser, laser toning or Q-switched laser — with topical care and strict sun protection.
At Cheongdam JCELL Dermatology Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, pigmentation is assessed by type and depth before a laser or treatment is chosen. Book in English on WhatsApp: +82-10-9989-4990.
