How to Choose a Melasma Injection
When choosing a melasma injection, it is advisable to consider the degree of pigmentation and whether to combine it with other treatments. If the pigmentation is mild and in the early stages, it may be managed with the injection alone. However, if the pigmentation is deeper or accompanied by redness or enlarged pores, consultation about combination treatments such as Pico Toning or Lala Peel is common.
In the Cheongnyangni area, considering accessibility and whether regular visits are possible may help maintain consistent care.
