Laser Skin Clinic in Seongsu, Seoul

Pigment, redness, acne, scars and hair removal lasers, chosen by diagnosis first

Medically reviewed by Dr. Park Kyung-min, MD, PhD, Medical Director of Seongsu Melting Clinic · Board-certified in Family Medicine · Last reviewed September 2026

Seongsu Melting Clinic is a laser skin clinic in Seongsu, Seoul, an easy Line 2 ride from Gangnam. We use several lasers because different problems need different wavelengths. This page gives an overview of our laser lineup and how Dr. Park Kyung-min decides which one, if any, fits your skin.

What does a laser actually do to skin?

A laser delivers light at a specific wavelength. Each wavelength is absorbed by particular targets: pigment, blood vessels, water in the skin, or oil glands. By choosing the wavelength, energy, and pulse, the doctor can aim at a target while limiting harm to the surrounding skin. That is why one laser is rarely right for everything, and why diagnosis comes before choosing a device.

Our laser lineup at Seongsu Melting Clinic

  • Custom pigment laser: tailored settings after we identify the type of pigment, whether freckles, sun spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory marks.
  • Miin laser: a Q-switched 1064nm laser for toning and pigment, with an MLA handpiece for pores and texture.
  • Noblin: a dual-wavelength system (Noblex and Ailin) for redness, visible vessels, and pigment.
  • AccuTone 1450nm: targets the oil glands involved in acne, without oral medication.
  • Secret RF: microneedle fractional radiofrequency for pores, acne scars, and texture.
  • CO2 and CO2 fractional: resurfacing for scars, pores, and wrinkles, and for removing some raised lesions.
  • Laser hair removal, done as a series because hair grows in cycles.

A good fit if…

  • You have pigment, redness, acne, scarring, or enlarged pores you want to improve.
  • You can commit to a series of sessions and consistent sunscreen.
  • You are open to a diagnosis that may change what you thought you needed.

Consider something else if…

  • You have a changing or unusual mole or spot; that needs a medical diagnosis first.
  • You are pregnant, have a fresh tan, or have an active infection in the area (some exceptions apply, such as AccuTone for acne, discussed at consult).
  • You tend to form keloids; tell us, since some lasers may not be appropriate.

What to expect

Dr. Park examines your skin, explains which laser he recommends and why, and discusses pricing at consultation. Comfort varies by device: toning often feels like light snapping, while CO2 fractional and RF microneedling usually need numbing cream. Downtime ranges from almost none for toning to several days of visible healing after CO2 fractional. Most laser plans involve several sessions, and results vary with skin type and how carefully you protect your skin from the sun.

Aftercare

  • Apply sunscreen every day and reapply outdoors.
  • Keep skin moisturized and avoid picking at any crusts.
  • Skip saunas, heavy exercise, and alcohol for the period advised.
  • Pause strong actives like retinoids or acids until we tell you to restart.

A note from Dr. Park

Dr. Park often tells patients that the device is the last decision, not the first. He looks closely at what is causing a spot or redness before choosing a laser, uses exact settings for each skin, and explains the plan before starting. He believes his research and lecturing keep his practice current, so he chooses tools on evidence rather than trends.

Frequently asked questions

Which laser is right for my pigment?

It depends on the pigment type and depth. Melasma, freckles, and sun spots behave differently, so we diagnose first and set a custom plan.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually more than one. Toning and pigment work often take a series, while scar treatments are spaced out to let skin heal.

Is there downtime?

It ranges from almost none after toning to several days after CO2 fractional. We will match the plan to your schedule.
