This is a phototherapy that evens out skin tone by improving pigmentation, redness, and capillaries together using broadband light.
IPL is a phototherapy that simultaneously improves melanin pigmentation and vascular lesions (redness and dilated capillaries) by irradiating multiple wavelengths of light at once. It evens out blemishes and redness to create an even skin tone.
Pigmented blemishes fade as scabs form and fall off after the procedure, while redness and capillaries gradually decrease. Typically, the effects accumulate with several repeated treatments.
Melasma can be aggravated by IPL, so a differential diagnosis is necessary, and sun protection is important after the procedure.

Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
You can usually return to your daily routine immediately, and the recovery period is minimal (scabs form within a few days). If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-return care methods and precautions with the clinic in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
