Melasma Laser
Treatment

Melasma treatment is a gradual process that requires multiple sessions for optimal effectiveness. With each treatment, you will witness a noticeable improvement in skin tone. However, the long-term success of laser toning and melasma treatments depends on several factors. To achieve the best results and maintain them over time, it is crucial to protect your skin from sun damage. Apply high-quality sunscreen at all times and wear protective clothing during peak sun hours.

The science behind PicoSure Melasma Laser Treatment is both sophisticated and effective:

• Ultra-short laser pulses (measured in picoseconds) are delivered to the skin
• These rapid pulses create a photomechanical effect, shattering the pigment into tiny particles
• The body’s natural processes then remove these particles over time
• The treatment also stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin texture

Step 1 – Skin Preparation
Prior to treatment, your therapist will cleanse your skin thoroughly. The laser emits short nanosecond pulses of intense light, which are absorbed by the dark pigment without harming the top layers of the skin.

Step 2 – Pigment Shattering
The powerful laser beam of Picosure shatters the pigment into infinitesimally small particles, enabling efficient removal by your body’s immune system.

Step 3 – Gradual Improvement
Through several treatment sessions, you will notice a gradual fading of the darker pigmentation, as your skin regains a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful appearance.

Laser Melasma treatments are generally comfortable, with only mild discomfort involved. You may experience a slight prickling sensation as the skin tissue is heated. The therapist will carefully move the handpiece over the treatment area, repeating the process in multiple passes.
