Sun Spot Treatment in Gangnam Seoul
Removing sun-induced spots at Cheongdam JCELL
Sun spots (solar lentigines) are flat brown spots from years of UV exposure. Pico laser, Q-switched laser or IPL can lighten them effectively, often in just a few sessions.
In short
Sun spots, also called solar lentigines or age spots, are well-defined brown spots caused by cumulative sun exposure on the face, hands and other exposed areas. They often respond well to pigment lasers such as pico or Q-switched laser, or to IPL for more widespread sun damage.
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.
