Checklist for choosing a clinic for Melasma & pigmentation

1. Start with diagnosing the pigment type Melasma, freckles, lentigines and acquired dermal pigmentation look alike but call for different treatment plans. When you consult a clinic in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area, have them explain which pigments are mixed in which areas of your face before treatment begins.
2. Check your sun protection habits Even with laser, pigment returns quickly if you don't block the sun. You need sunscreen even on cloudy days or by a window indoors, reapplied every two to three hours. Before starting treatment in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area, have your current sun protection routine reviewed.
3. Precautions with oral and topical medication Oral medications such as tranexamic acid need caution in people with a history of blood clots or who also take oral contraceptives, and topical brightening agents can cause redness or stinging. When you get a prescription in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area, tell the doctor about every medication you take and your full medical history.
4. Laser intensity and intervals Melasma can darken or fade unevenly under strong laser stimulation, so low-intensity sessions spaced apart are common. When a clinic in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area explains the treatment plan, ask about intensity, number of sessions and alternatives if it doesn't work.
5. A plan for preventing relapse Even after treatment ends, melasma commonly darkens again in summer or during hormonal changes. When wrapping up treatment in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area, decide in advance how much longer to use maintenance topical medication and in which season to come back for a check.

Warning signs to watch for

1. One spot that turns unusually dark A single spot among widespread patches that turns unusually dark, develops blurring borders, grows or bleeds may not be simple pigmentation. Before having it lasered away, check with a doctor in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area whether a biopsy is needed.
2. Pigment that darkens after treatment If the color has deepened a few weeks after a procedure, it may be post-inflammatory pigmentation or worsening melasma. Rather than repeating the same procedure right away, have the cause checked in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area and adjust the interval and method.
3. Scattered white spots Small white spots appearing here and there after many pigment laser sessions at short intervals may be hypopigmentation, which can be slow to recover or may remain. If you notice such changes, stop the procedures and see a doctor in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area first.
4. Brightening creams with unknown ingredients Brightening creams of unclear origin that promise fast results may contain high-concentration ingredients or steroids, and long-term use can thin the skin or make blood vessels show. Bring the products you've been using to a clinic in the Seoul National University·Sadang·Dongjak area to have them checked.
