Targeted Pigmentation Control for Brighter, More Even Skin

Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition characterized by blotchy, brown or gray patches, most commonly on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we offer safe and effective laser treatments designed specifically to lighten melasma, restore skin clarity, and prevent recurrence—under the supervision of expert dermatologists.


Understanding Melasma

Melasma is triggered by factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control), genetics, and inflammation. It is notoriously difficult to treat and prone to recurrence. Key characteristics include:

  • Symmetrical brown or grayish patches
  • Commonly affects the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin
  • Aggravated by UV light, heat, and some topical products
  • Requires gentle, repeated treatments and strict sun protection


Diagnosis at Yeongjong Central

Successful melasma treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis and a tailored approach. During your consultation, the dermatologist will evaluate:

  • Depth of pigmentation (epidermal, dermal, or mixed)
  • Skin type and sensitivity
  • History of flare-ups, hormone exposure, or skincare use
  • Customized laser and topical treatment strategy

Melasma cannot be permanently "cured," but it can be well-managed with consistent care.


Treatment Process

1. Skin Preparation and Protection

  • Skin is cleansed and prepped
  • Cooling gel or protective eye shields are used for comfort and safety

2. Gentle Laser Toning Session

  • Q-switched Nd:YAG or pico laser is applied at low fluence
  • The laser breaks up melanin particles gradually over multiple sessions
  • You may feel a mild warmth or tingling sensation

3. Post-Laser Soothing Care

  • A calming mask or brightening ampoule is applied
  • Sunblock and aftercare guidance are provided to prevent rebound pigmentation
