Best Pigmentation Treatments in Gangnam for Asian Skin
Asian skin is beautiful and resilient, but it is also more prone to pigmentation and to darkening after irritation. That makes the choice of pigmentation treatment especially important. Korean clinics have extensive experience treating Asian skin safely.
1. Why Asian skin needs a tailored approach
Asian skin produces melanin readily, which protects against sun damage but also increases the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after aggressive treatments. Gentle, controlled settings are key.
2. Pico laser
Pico laser targets spots with ultra-short pulses and less heat, lowering the risk of PIH. It is excellent for sun spots and freckles. Typical price: KRW 200,000 to KRW 600,000 per session.
3. Laser toning
Low-energy Nd:YAG laser toning evens tone and manages melasma with no downtime. It is often the foundation of treatment for diffuse pigmentation.
4. Melasma treatment plans
For melasma, combination plans with laser toning, gentle pico and tranexamic acid give the best results, typically over five to ten sessions. Typical price: KRW 150,000 to KRW 350,000 per session.
5. Supportive skin boosters
Rejuran and exosome support the skin barrier and calm inflammation, which can help reduce the risk of PIH after laser.
6. Avoiding post-inflammatory pigmentation
Choose an experienced doctor who adjusts settings for your skin.
Use strict sun protection before and after treatment.
Avoid picking crusts or using harsh products.
Follow aftercare instructions carefully.
7. Planning
Pigmentation often needs several sessions. Visitors can start with a pico session for spots and continue toning at home or on future visits.
