Is laser safe for Asian or more pigmented skin?

Laser treatments can be safe for Asian skin when performed correctly. Proper energy settings, pre-treatment preparation, and provider experience are essential to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. We have been serving Asian and patients with more melanin/pigmentation for over 13+ years and have refined our techniques to provide optimal outcomes for our patients.

How many sessions are needed for acne scars?

Patients' skin varies widely, so we cannot guarantee the number of sessions needed; however, we recommend starting with 3–5 sessions (depending on the severity of the scars and the treatment method) with ongoing maintenance to see improvement.

Do you treat melasma and hyperpigmentation?

Yes. We specialize in treating melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation using gentle, targeted approaches designed for long-term skin stability.

Do you offer consultations?

Yes, we offer complimentary consultations to evaluate your skin and create a customized treatment plan.

Q: What is the best treatment for acne scars?

The best treatment depends on the type of acne scars. Rolling scars often respond well to subcision and RF microneedling, while deeper scars may require laser resurfacing such as CO2 laser.

Protocol-Based Treatment Plans

Unlike med spas offering one-off services, we design structured multi-step protocols tailored to your skin condition, type, and long-term goals.

What patients ask.

How is Shiny different from a regular med spa?

Most med spas sell you individual treatments. We design structured, multi-step treatment protocols based on your specific skin condition, skin type, and long-term goals — then we execute that protocol across a series of sessions. You get a roadmap, not a random menu of add-ons.

What is the best treatment for acne scars?

It depends on your scar type. Rolling scars respond best to subcision combined with RF microneedling (Morpheus8 or Potenza). Deeper ice-pick or boxcar scars may benefit from CO2 fractional laser resurfacing. We always assess your scars in a free consultation before recommending anything.

Do you specialize in treating Asian skin?

Yes — this is one of our core specializations. Melasma, PIH, and hyperpigmentation behave differently in higher Fitzpatrick skin types, and many lasers can worsen pigmentation in Asian skin if not used correctly. Our 13 years of K-Beauty medical aesthetics practice means we have deep protocols specifically designed for Asian skin.

Is the consultation really free?

Completely free, no obligation. We'll do a proper skin analysis, talk through your goals and history, and present a customized treatment protocol with transparent pricing. There is no pressure to book that day.

Where are you located and is there parking?

We're in the Solair Building, 2nd floor, at 3785 Wilshire Blvd #228C, Los Angeles CA 90010 — in the heart of Koreatown. There's a parking lot on Oxford Ave; take the ramp down to Retail parking. We provide free validated parking for all patients.
