Melasma Treatment in Cheongdam, Gangnam Seoul
Gentle, long-term melasma care at JCELL
Melasma needs patience and a gentle hand. We combine low-energy laser toning, pico laser and skincare to lighten patches gradually — while protecting sensitive skin from rebound.
In short
Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition, usually brown or gray-brown patches on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip, influenced by sun exposure, hormones and skin sensitivity. Treatment at Cheongdam JCELL Dermatology Clinic focuses on gentle laser toning or pico laser at conservative settings, combined with topical care and daily 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.
