1. Noticing flat brown patches on your skin?

Sun spots, also called solar lentigines, often appear after years of sun exposure. Fortunately, Gangnam clinics offer non-invasive treatments to reduce these blemishes and restore clear skin.

2. What are sun spots and how do they form?

They’re larger and darker than freckles, typically caused by long-term UV damage. These spots commonly show up on the face, hands, and décolletage in your 30s and beyond.

Common methods include IPL, Q-switched lasers, fractional laser, and chemical peels. Korean dermatologists often create a customized plan combining laser and topical therapies.

A short 20–30 minute session targets pigmented areas. It’s usually painless, with only slight warmth or tingling. Some mild redness or flaking may follow, fading in a few days.

5. How quickly do results show?

Some spots lighten after one treatment, while deeper pigment may require 3–5 sessions. The skin becomes brighter and more even-toned over several weeks.
