If you're considering pigmentation or melasma treatment in Seoul, South Korea, this article will help explain what truly sets apart clinics that specialize in this field.

 

Recently, UV levels have been relatively low, making this an ideal time to begin treatment for pigmentation and melasma.

 

But with so many aesthetic dermatology clinics in Seoul,
you might be wondering:

“How can I tell which clinic is truly good at treating pigmentation and melasma?”

 

Today, I’ll walk you through the key points to help you find the right place.

✔ Accurate Diagnosis by a Doctor and Use of Skin Analysis Devices

 

Even though patients may describe their concerns simply as “pigmentation” or “melasma,”
there are actually a wide variety of medical terms used for specific pigment conditions.

 

For example:

• Simple freckles (Ephelides)

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

• Solar lentigines

• Nevus of Ota-like macules

• Café-au-lait spots

• Melasma

• Nevus (moles)
  ...and more.

患者様は「しみが多くて…」「肝斑を治したくて来ました」と言われますが、
実際には診断によって治療法が大きく異なります。

 

そのため、肌の色素を正確に把握するためには、医師による肌診断機（Mark-Vuなど）を使った診察が不可欠です。

これは、しみ・肝斑治療を得意とする美容皮膚科の大きな特徴のひとつです。

✔ 多様なレーザー機器を揃えているかどうか

 

レーザー機器にはそれぞれ異なる波長・照射時間・深さがあり、
1台ですべての色素治療をカバーすることはできません。

 

なぜなら、色素の種類や深さによって反応する波長が異なるため、
診断に合わせて適切な機器を使い分ける必要があるからです。

However, the issue lies in the fact that these laser devices are extremely expensive—often comparable in cost to a luxury car—so only a limited number of clinics are equipped with all the necessary machines.

 

That said, clinics that specialize in pigmentation and melasma treatment are typically well-prepared with multiple laser devices and are able to choose the most appropriate one based on the specific condition.

(This is also why treatment prices can vary from clinic to clinic. 🥲)

✔ Can the clinic actually deliver visible results?

 

Aesthetic dermatology treatments are by no means cheap.

That’s why the question “Will I really see results?” becomes the most important.

 

In fact, at top pigmentation clinics in Seoul, many patients notice visible improvement even after just one or two sessions.

 

※ However, depending on the type and depth of pigmentation, it may be difficult to see significant improvement in only one or two sessions.

We recommend receiving a proper diagnosis and discussing the required number of treatments and costs in advance.🙂

✔ Know the Risks and Safety Considerations Too

Even when photos are taken under the same lighting, angle, and posture,
there are still risks of side effects such as hyperpigmentation, burns, or hypopigmentation associated with treatment.

 

That’s precisely why a clinic’s commitment to “only performing necessary treatments without pushing unnecessary procedures”
is an important factor in determining whether it is truly trustworthy.

By keeping these points in mind when selecting a clinic,
