Treatment Overview
The Pigmentation Spot Corrector Cream in Korea is a professional dermatology-grade treatment specifically formulated to target hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Combining Arbutin, a potent melanin-inhibiting agent, with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), this cream provides a dual-action approach: reducing pigmentation while strengthening the skin barrier and improving overall texture.
This cream-based therapy is widely used in Korean dermatology clinics, where customized application protocols and advanced monitoring ensure maximum efficacy and safety. Unlike over-the-counter products, the treatment delivers progressive, noticeable brightening without harsh peeling or invasive procedures.
