Laser therapy for melasma
Target stubborn pigmentation and restore your skin's natural glow.
Melasma is a common skin condition that appears as brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or nose. Often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, and genetics, melasma can be difficult to treat with skincare products alone. That's where advanced laser therapy comes in.
What is laser therapy for melasma?
Laser therapy uses focused light energy to gently break down excess melanin (pigment) in the skin, helping to visibly reduce discoloration and even out your skin tone. It's a safe and effective solution, especially when combined with sun protection and medical-grade skincare.
Types of laser treatments we may use
Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser, which targets deeper pigment with minimal downtime and is safe for a wide range of skin tones.
Fractional Laser (e.g. Fraxel), which stimulates collagen and breaks up stubborn pigment in deeper layers, best for more advanced cases.
Picosecond Laser, which delivers ultra-fast pulses for effective pigment removal with a gentler approach.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), which treats superficial pigmentation with bright light energy and is best for lighter skin types.
