In short. Melasma is a chronic relapsing condition rather than a one-off blemish, and Korean clinics manage it with low-fluence laser toning, oral tranexamic acid and strict photoprotection combined.

Aggressive high-energy laser makes melasma worse. The Korean standard is repeated low-fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG toning, typically ten sessions weekly or fortnightly, alongside topical and oral treatment.
Because it relapses with sun and hormonal change, a treatment plan without a maintenance component is incomplete. Solar lentigines and freckles, by contrast, often clear in one or two sessions and should not be confused with melasma.

Frequently asked questions
Can melasma be cured permanently?
No. Melasma is controlled rather than cured, and it relapses with sun exposure, pregnancy and hormonal contraception. Treatment aims at long-term suppression with maintenance sessions and daily photoprotection.
Is laser toning safe for darker skin?
Low-fluence toning was developed specifically for Asian skin and is used routinely on Fitzpatrick types III to V. Higher-energy pigment lasers carry a real risk of rebound hyperpigmentation in these skin types.
