Pigmentation Treatment in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: Pigmentation treatment at Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon starts with identifying what kind of pigment you have — melasma, freckles, sun spots, post-acne marks or general uneven tone — because each needs a different plan. Treatment is then matched to the diagnosis, most often pico or Q-switched laser in toning or spot mode, plus sun protection. The listed first-visit Pico Light Black Toning session is ₩29,000 (VAT excluded); spot and combined plans are priced after consultation.

Why diagnosis comes first
"Pigmentation" covers several conditions that look similar but behave differently. A laser setting that clears a sun spot can worsen melasma, and a spot that looks like a freckle may need medical examination. Any brown or dark mark that is new, changing in size, shape or colour, irregular or bleeding is examined medically first, before any cosmetic treatment is considered.
Common pigment types and where to read more
- Melasma: blurry, symmetrical patches linked to hormones, sun and heat — see melasma treatment .
- Freckles (ephelides): small, genetic spots that darken in summer — see freckle removal .
- Sun spots (solar lentigines): sharper spots from cumulative sun damage — see sun spots treatment .
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: marks left after acne or irritation — see PIH treatment .
- Diffuse dullness and uneven tone: see uneven skin tone treatment .
How a treatment plan is built
After assessment, the physician chooses between whole-face toning (gentle, repeated sessions), targeted spot treatment (higher energy on individual lesions) or a combination. Skin type, recent sun exposure, medication and your downtime tolerance are all factored in. Learn about the technology on our pico laser page.
Realistic expectations
Many spots lighten noticeably, but results vary and some pigment, particularly melasma, can return with sun exposure or hormonal changes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is part of every plan. We do not promise complete or permanent clearance.
Pigmentation Treatment FAQ
How do I know which type of pigmentation I have?
Pigment type is best identified by a physician examining the skin, sometimes with magnification or imaging. Melasma, freckles, sun spots and post-inflammatory marks differ in pattern, edge, depth and triggers, and each responds to different settings.
Should a dark spot be checked before laser treatment?
Yes. A spot that is new, growing, changing colour or shape, has an irregular border, itches or bleeds should be examined medically first. Laser is only used on pigment assessed as benign, and suspicious lesions may need further evaluation.
What does pigmentation treatment cost in Busan at Daybeau Seomyeon?
The listed first-visit price for Pico Light Black Toning is ₩29,000 per session, excluding VAT. Spot treatments, Q-switched laser toning and combined plans are priced after consultation, once the pigment type and number of sessions are known.
Will pigmentation come back after treatment?
It can. Sun exposure, heat, hormones and inflammation can produce new or recurring pigment, especially melasma. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and occasional maintenance sessions help keep results more stable over time.
