At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor first identifies the type of pigment, then plans laser toning, pigment lasers, peels or brightening care; most options have little downtime, and results usually build over a course of sessions.

What is hyperpigmentation treatment?
Hyperpigmentation means patches of skin that are darker than the surrounding skin because of extra melanin. Common types include sunspots and freckles from UV exposure, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after acne or irritation, and melasma, which is linked to hormones and sun. Some people have more than one type at the same time, which affects how the plan is built.
Each type behaves differently, so treatment is matched to the pigment. Defined spots often respond to targeted pigment lasers, while diffuse uneven tone and melasma are usually treated with gentle, repeated laser toning. Peels, brightening care and topical treatment support the results. Our pigmentation packages combine laser sessions with skin care for people who want a structured course.
Who is a good candidate for hyperpigmentation treatment?
- Sunspots, age spots or freckles
- Dark marks after acne or irritation
- Patchy or uneven skin tone
- Melasma that has not improved with skincare alone
- People who can commit to daily sun protection
Treatment is usually postponed after a recent tan or sunburn, with active skin infection or inflammation, or during pregnancy. A spot that is new, growing, bleeding or irregular should be checked medically first. People with darker skin may need gentler settings, as explained on our hyperpigmentation on dark skin page.

What are the results and recovery like?
Laser toning usually leaves only mild redness for a few hours. Targeted spot lasers can make spots darken and form tiny crusts that flake off within about a week. Fading continues over several weeks, and most people need a series of sessions for an even result. Pigmentation can return with sun exposure or hormonal changes, so daily sunscreen and occasional maintenance are important. Results vary by pigment type and skin.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most effective treatment for hyperpigmentation?
It depends on the type. Defined spots often respond to pigment lasers, while melasma and diffuse tone usually need gentle, repeated laser toning and skincare.
How many sessions do I need?
Spots may improve in one or two sessions, while melasma and uneven tone often need a longer course. The doctor will give you an estimate at consultation.
Is there downtime after hyperpigmentation treatment?
Usually little. Spot lasers can leave small crusts for about a week, while toning typically causes only brief redness.
Can hyperpigmentation come back?
Yes. Sun exposure, inflammation and hormones can trigger new pigment, so daily sunscreen and maintenance help.
Does laser for pigmentation hurt?
Most people feel a snapping or warm sensation. Numbing cream can be used for more intensive treatments.
