Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: Pigmentation treatment breaks up excess melanin so the body can clear it. The right approach depends on the type: freckles and sun spots respond well to targeted Pico or Q-switched laser, while melasma needs gentle, repeated low-energy toning plus sun protection and home care. At Daybeau Seomyeon, first-visit Pico Light Black Toning is ₩29,000 per session (VAT excluded); most toning plans run 5–10 sessions.

Pico toning vs laser toning
Pico toning uses picosecond pulses that shatter pigment with less heat, which suits melasma-prone and darker skin types. Laser toning with nanosecond Q-switched lasers is an established alternative. Your doctor chooses based on pigment depth and skin sensitivity. See also Pico laser .
Why melasma needs a careful plan
Melasma can rebound if treated too aggressively. Plans therefore use gentle settings, regular intervals, strict daily SPF and sometimes oral or topical support. Expect gradual fading over several sessions rather than one-off removal.
Aftercare
- SPF 50 every day, reapplied outdoors.
- Avoid saunas and very hot environments, which can trigger melasma.
- Use gentle, non-irritating skincare between sessions.
Pigmentation FAQ
How many Pico toning sessions do I need?
Most people need 5–10 sessions about 1–2 weeks apart for melasma or diffuse pigmentation. Freckles and sun spots may need only 1–3 targeted sessions.
Is there downtime after Pico toning?
Usually only mild redness for a few hours. Targeted spot treatments can leave small dark crusts that flake off in about a week.
Can melasma be cured permanently?
Melasma can be lightened significantly, but it tends to recur with sun, heat and hormonal changes. Ongoing sun protection and maintenance sessions help keep it controlled.
