Can One Laser Fix All Pigmentation Problems?

Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB.

Many international patients ask us: “Can one type of laser remove all my dark spots or melasma?” The answer: not really — and not safely.

At YSBB Skin Clinic in Seoul, we treat melasma and pigmentation using a step-by-step approach, customized for your skin type, pigment depth, and treatment history. Why? Because melasma is not just a surface issue — it’s a complex pigment disorder that involves different skin layers and often returns if not treated carefully.

Here’s our dermatologist-designed 4-step protocol to safely and effectively brighten and even out your skin tone.

Why Step-by-Step Treatment Matters

Melasma often affects deeper skin layers (the dermis). Strong or aggressive laser treatment can worsen it. That’s why a gentle, repeated approach is key.

Sunspots, freckles, and PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) tend to sit closer to the surface and respond faster — but can darken if treated improperly.

Every person’s skin responds differently. That’s why layered, tailored treatment offers the best results with the least risk.
