K-Melasma
K-Melasma is the Association of Korean Dermatologists’ guideline-based, non-aggressive cosmetic procedure using Advanced Microneedling EBD with specific parameters for melasma.
Key Benefits
K-Melasmais effective for
All types of melasma
Repairs the "Leaky" Basement Membrane
In clients with melasma, the thin layer between the top and bottom layers of skin is often damaged or "leaky," allowing pigment to drop into deeper layers where it’s harder to treat. K-Melasma strengthens and thickens this layer, helping to lock pigment in the upper layers for easier treatment.
Safe for Darker Skin Tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI)
Because K-Melasma is "colorblind" (it doesn't target melanin directly), it has a significantly lower risk of causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It creates controlled micochannels in the skin while sparing the sensitive surface layer.
Enhances Topical Absorption
The micro-channels created by K-Melama allow pigment-correcting topicals to penetrate much deeper and work more effectively than if they were just applied to the surface.
Reverses Solar Elastosis (Photoaging)
Melasma is often linked to damaged collagen from sun exposure. K-Melasma stimulates fresh collagen and elastin, replacing damaged solar elastosis tissue with healthy skin, which helps normalize the skin's signaling and reduces pigment activity.

K-Melasma at a Glance
Number of sessions
The number of sessions varies based on the type of melasma, associated skin conditions including redness and desired results.
A series of 5-10 sessions is recommended, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
Downtime
Minimal to no downtime. After treatment, most clients experience very mild or no redness that subsides within a few hours.
Unlike more invasive procedures, there’s no need to take days off work or limit activities. Clients are usually free to return to their normal routines immediately after their treatment.
During treatment
You may experience a very mild, pricky sensation or no sensation at all.
After Treatment
Apply a cold pack for a few minutes as often as possible on the day of treatment. Ensure you apply sunscreen properly.
Starting the day of treatment, you may wash your face, shower and also resume outdoor activities, provided you wear sunscreen.
FAQs
How does it work?
K-Melasma strengthens the damaged thin membrane, effectively patching the holes and stopping pigment from migrating deeper.
K-Melasma helps break up existing clusters of pigment. These micro-particles are then naturally cleared by the body’s lymphatic system or shed through the skin’s surface as new, healthy cells regenerate.
How long does it take to see results?
It also depends on the type of melasma and any associted skin conditions.
How long is the session time?
The session time is 20 minutes excluding numbing cream application
What to avoid before the treatment?
Clients are asked to COMPLETELY REMOVE makeup/sunscreen/moisturizer/lotion/essence/serum etc. before each clinic visit.
What are the post-treatment care instructions?
Apply a cold pack for a few minutes as often as possible on the day of treatment.
Apply a physical sunscreen (Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide) properly during the treatment period.
Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.
Avoid any cosmetics containing alcohol, Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinol, AHAs, BHAs or Vitamin C for 1–3 days.
However, specific post-treatment care instructions depend on the skin issues, subtypes, and the treatment settings used.
Therefore, please follow the personalized aftercare instructions provided after each session at the clinic.
