Melasma Dermatologist in Gangnam Seoul
Specialist melasma management at Cheongdam JCELL
Melasma is easy to over-treat. A dermatologist confirms the diagnosis, identifies your triggers and builds a gentle, long-term plan to lighten patches and keep them under control.

In short
A melasma dermatologist distinguishes melasma from other pigmentation, considers hormones, sun exposure and skin sensitivity, and combines conservative laser toning or pico laser with topical treatment and maintenance. Cheongdam JCELL Dermatology Clinic's team includes board-certified dermatologist Dr. Youngji Kim.
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.
