1. Are freckles making your skin look uneven?

While some find freckles charming, others seek a clearer complexion. In Gangnam, Korea’s top dermatology hub, freckle removal is safe, effective, and tailored to your skin type.

2. What causes freckles?

Freckles are small brown spots caused by increased melanin due to genetics and UV exposure. They often appear more prominently after sun exposure and are common on the cheeks and nose.

3. What’s the best treatment for freckles?

Popular treatments include Pico laser, IPL, and laser toning. These target melanin clusters without damaging surrounding tissue, gradually lightening freckles over several sessions.

4. What’s the procedure like?

Most sessions last 15–30 minutes and feel like a series of quick snaps on the skin. A numbing cream may be used, and there’s usually little to no downtime beyond mild redness.

5. How many sessions are needed?

Patients typically see visible improvement after 2–3 sessions, with optimal results after 4–6. The exact number depends on your skin’s pigmentation level and response.

6. How long do results last?

With proper sun protection, results can be long-lasting. However, new freckles may appear over time with continued sun exposure, making SPF a daily essential.

7. How much does freckle removal cost in Korea?

A single session ranges from ₩100,000 to ₩300,000 ($75–$230 USD). Many clinics offer discounted packages for multiple visits.
