Pigmentation Dermatologist in Gangnam Seoul
Specialist care for melasma and dark spots at Cheongdam JCELL
A pigmentation dermatologist diagnoses the type and depth of your pigmentation and chooses lasers and settings that clear spots without triggering rebound — especially important for melasma.
In short
A pigmentation dermatologist evaluates whether spots are melasma, freckles, sun spots, PIH or other lesions, then plans pico laser, toning, Q-switched laser, IPL or topical care accordingly. 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.

- Safe laser settings for your skin tone
- Melasma-aware treatment planning
- Checking spots that change or look unusual
