Melasma is a pigmentation disorder mainly affecting women, especially those with darker skin.

It is commonly seen on the face and appears as dark spots and patches with irregular borders. Melasma commonly coincides with hormone fluctuations, particularly estrogen and progesterone. This is why it often appears during pregnancy and has earned the nickname “mask of pregnancy.”

Symptoms of Melasma.

Melasma typically presents as darker pigmented patches on the face, with the most common areas including the eye, forehead, cheeks and upper lip area. It can occur at any age, darkening in the summer and lightening in the winter.

Our Approach.

There are many forms of laser systems available. However, only specific wavelengths are ideal for treating melasma.

At Laser + Skin Clinics, we use ActiveFX Laser Resurfacing to help clear signs of melasma and other hyperpigmentation issues, as it can treat deeper pigment concerns. Lasers work by irradiating the skin to target and eliminate the organelles (within skin cells) containing the melanin, also known as melanosomes. Once these melanosomes are destroyed, the body removes the remains through a shedding process. Typically, there is a brief period where the skin becomes hypopigmented and appears lighter than normal. This is then followed by the re-pigmentation phase, where the skin tone is restored.

Treatment will depend on the severity of the condition and the skin type. Normally, 1-3 treatments are required to reduce melasma effectively. During your consultation, you will receive an individual and truly bespoke plan, which will act as your blueprint on your aesthetic journey with us at Laser + Skin Clinics. We will select the most advanced treatments to ensure optimal results, leaving you looking and feeling full of confidence.

I’ve been so embarrassed by my melasma for almost 20 years. Now, only six weeks into my treatment, I can confidently go about my day with no makeup! So happy I found the Laser & Skin Clinic.
