Melasma Treatment in Seoul | Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic
Melasma appears as patchy brown or gray pigmentation, often on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. It’s triggered by sun exposure, hormones, genetics, and heat. Unlike typical dark spots, melasma is deeper and more resistant—requiring professional care.

Melasma Treatments at Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic
1. Laser Toning (Nd:YAG / Pico)
A low-energy laser that breaks down pigment without damaging the skin barrier. Ideal for long-term melasma control with minimal downtime.
2. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Targets superficial pigmentation and improves skin clarity. Often used as part of a combination therapy plan for faster brightening.
3. Rejuran Tone-Up or Skin Boosters
These injectable treatments improve skin tone, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce pigment sensitivity over time.
4. Brightening Peels
Mild chemical exfoliants remove dull surface cells and lighten melanin build-up, especially for hormonal melasma.
5. Prescription-Strength Creams
Customized topical formulas with ingredients like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, or tranexamic acid to help manage melasma at home.
