Pigmentation treatment in Korea: clarify what kind of pigmentation you have
Melasma, freckles, lentigines, post-acne marks, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are not the same condition. A treatment that helps one type may be ineffective or aggravating for another.
Why skin tone matters
Patients with darker or more pigment-reactive skin can develop prolonged post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after aggressive lasers, peels, or inflammation. Tell the clinician about:
- previous post-laser darkening
- melasma history
- acne marks
- recent sun exposure
- medications and hormonal factors where relevant
Questions before treatment
- What diagnosis or pigment pattern is being considered?
- Is the treatment intended for melasma, discrete spots, redness, or post-inflammatory pigment?
- Which device and settings are planned?
- What recurrence or rebound is possible?
- What sun protection and aftercare are required?
