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.
