Pigment & Whitening
Melasma · Freckles · Sun Spots · Dull Tone — Korean pigment removal & K-Beauty whitening protocols tailored for Asian and global skin types.
Korean Solution for Melasma, Freckles & Dull Skin Tone
Sun exposure, hormonal change and previous wrong laser can worsen melasma and pigmentation — especially for Asian skin types. In Seoul, board-certified dermatologists use multi-layer laser toning, whitening programs and medical skincare to safely brighten and even out skin tone while protecting the skin barrier. Meditrip Seoul connects international patients with trusted Gangnam pigment specialists who have extensive experience with foreign skin types.
Main Pigment & Whitening Treatments
Laser Toning (ND:YAG / Pico)
Gentle low-fluence laser toning to gradually break down melasma and diffuse pigmentation while minimizing downtime. Suitable for Asian and mixed skin concerned about rebound or post-inflammatory darkening.
Pico Laser for Spots & Freckles
High-precision pigment shattering for freckles, sun spots and age spots. Shorter pulse width allows targeted pigment removal with less heat damage and faster recovery.
Melasma Protocol (Combination Care)
Customized protocols combining toning laser, brightening boosters, gentle peeling and prescription skincare to control melasma safely over time. Focus on long-term stability, not aggressive one-time sessions.
Whitening IV & Brightening Peel
Medical whitening drips and chemical peels designed to improve overall brightness and skin clarity, often combined with laser for synergistic effect.
Redness + Pigment Combo
For patients with both pigment and redness, vascular laser (for flushing and broken capillaries) is combined with pigment laser to unify skin tone.
Maintenance & Home Care Program
Doctor-supervised homecare routine (whitening cream, sun protection, antioxidant care) to maintain results after returning home. Written instructions and online follow-up are available for overseas patients.
