Pigmentation / Melasma Treatment

We provide laser treatment + medication to help lighten and clear pigmentation. Combining both treatments can lighten pigmentation spots to a large extent.

Laser treatment
The laser heats up and shatters the pigment. The pigment is then drawn to the surface without harming the surrounding tissue. Once drawn to the surface, the pigmented lesions will fade or dry and flake off the treated area, leaving the skin with an even tone and complexion.

Chemical peel
Chemical peels have variable success in treating pigmentation/melasma. Multiple treatments are required to achieve modest benefits. They are best used in combination with topical creams. Superficial peels are preferable to medium or deep peels.

Topical cream
Topical cream is the most widely used method to treat pigmentation/melasma. The higher the concentration of active ingredient, the higher the incidence of irritant dermatitis (eczema). Topical creams should therefore be used for limited periods under the supervision of your aesthetic physician.

Medication
Medication in tablet form is another promising treatment for pigmentation/melasma. We will prescribe it for patients that her condition has not responded to topical creams.
