Skin Whitening in Myeongdong, Seoul
Brightening treatments that improve clarity, fade dark spots and restore an even, healthy glow, combined into a plan that fits your skin and schedule.
What is skin whitening in Korea? In Korean clinics, “skin whitening” is not about drastically changing your natural skin tone. It means improving clarity, reducing dark spots and restoring an even, healthy glow. Kleam combines options such as glutathione injections, vitamin drips, laser toning and chemical peels according to your skin. At Kleam Clinic Myeongdong, brightening treatments start from ₩69,000.
How skin whitening treatments work
Uneven tone usually has several causes, such as sun damage, melasma, post-acne marks and general dullness, so the most effective plans combine treatments. Glutathione injections provide antioxidant support for a brighter overall glow, vitamin drips support radiance and skin health in dull, tired skin, laser toning targets pigmentation and dark spots such as melasma and sun damage, and chemical peels gently exfoliate and resurface for uneven tone and acne marks.
Your doctor looks at your skin and recommends a single treatment or a combination, plus the number of sessions. Whether you are in Korea for a few days or staying longer, the plan can be adjusted to your schedule. Because pigment returns with sun exposure, daily sunscreen is part of every plan.

Skin whitening in Seoul: frequently asked questions
Clear answers to what international guests ask most before booking.
Will skin whitening change my natural skin colour?
No. The goal is clearer, brighter and more even skin, not a drastic change in your natural tone.
Which treatment is best for me?
It depends on the cause. Laser toning suits pigmentation and melasma, peels suit uneven tone and acne marks, and glutathione or vitamin drips support overall radiance. Your doctor may suggest a combination.
How many sessions will I need?
A single session gives a quick boost, but lasting results usually need a course of several sessions. The plan can be adjusted to how long you are in Seoul.
Is there downtime?
Glutathione injections and vitamin drips have no downtime. Laser toning usually has minimal redness, and peels may cause light flaking for a few days.
Do you offer body whitening?
Yes. Kleam also offers body whitening toning and peeling for areas such as the underarms, elbows, knees and back; see the body whitening page.
