Pigmentation Treatment in Gangnam Seoul
Melasma, freckles, sun spots & uneven tone at Cheongdam JCELL
Pigmentation can be freckles, sun spots, melasma or post-inflammatory marks — each needs a different approach. We identify the type first, then plan laser and skincare for clearer, more even skin.
In short
Skin pigmentation includes freckles, sun spots (lentigines), melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Each has different causes and depths, so treatment options such as pico laser, laser toning, Q-switched laser, IPL and peels are chosen after a dermatologist assessment. Melasma in particular needs gentle, long-term care.
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.
