Melasma Treatment in Seoul, Korea | Gangnam YAAN Skin Clinic

Melasma is one of the most common and stubborn skin pigmentation issues, especially for those living in sun-exposed environments. If you're struggling with uneven skin tone, brown patches, or hormonal pigmentation, YAAN Skin Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul offers proven, dermatologist-led solutions for effective melasma treatment.

What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that appears as brown or grayish patches, typically on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and jawline. It is often triggered by:

  • Sun exposure
  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control pills)
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Skin irritation or heat exposure

Unlike regular sunspots, melasma tends to be deeper, more diffuse, and often recurs without proper management.


Melasma Treatment Options at YAAN Skin Clinic

YAAN Skin Clinic specializes in customized melasma care using a multi-modal approach that targets both surface-level pigment and deeper dermal causes:

1. Laser Toning (Q-switched or Picosecond):
Gentle laser energy breaks down melanin clusters over multiple sessions, reducing pigmentation without harming the skin barrier.

2. Skin Brightening IV Therapy:
Vitamin C and glutathione-based drips help detoxify the skin from within, reducing oxidative stress and supporting an even skin tone.

3. Topical Prescription Programs:
Customized creams containing ingredients like tranexamic acid, kojic acid, and retinoids to control melanin production.

4. Hormonal and Skin Barrier Support:
Melasma is often linked to inflammation and hormonal imbalance. YAAN offers skin-calming treatments and protective skincare protocols to prevent recurrence.
