What is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation treatment targets excess melanin that causes brown spots, freckles, sun damage and uneven tone. Dermatologists combine pico laser, laser toning, IPL, chemical peels and brightening skincare depending on the type and depth of pigment. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, pigment is diagnosed first so that the right laser and settings are used.

Who it may not suit: People with active infection, recent tanning, or who are pregnant (some treatments are adjusted).
