What is the five-in-one oral beauty medication?
Dark spots, melasma, dullness and acne marks can be hard to address with skincare alone.
This medication (Skin Maria) combines five ingredients widely used in cosmetic dermatology into a single tablet. Because you do not need to take several medicines separately, it is easier to remember and to keep taking.
At OKACHI CLINIC, the doctor prescribes it after a consultation.

About the treatment
Alongside laser treatment or chemical peels
Oral beauty medication is sometimes taken as home care after cosmetic treatments. If you are having treatments such as pico laser toning or chemical peels, please tell the doctor at your consultation.
Ingredients
