What Is Laser Melasma Treatment?
Numerous patients have melasma at some point in their lives, which occurs when irregular patches of darkened skin appear on the face, neck, and forearms. These gray, tan, or brownish patches often appear evenly over the brow, nose, cheeks, chin, or upper lip. Melasma is found more frequently in ladies with darker skin colors and is thought to be triggered by sun damage or hormonal changes, such as those associated with pregnancy and menopause. Our team treats melasma at Treasure Valley Aesthetics & Wellness with Alma Harmony XL PRO laser technology. This advanced procedure utilizes gentle laser energy to help diminish the appearance of gray, brown, or tan patches occurring in melasma. Book an appointment at our Meridian, ID office to find out whether melasma treatment with lasers can help boost your confidence and refresh your complexion.
Laser Melasma Treatment FAQ
What causes melasma?
Melasma-induced hyperpigmentation can occur anytime throughout life. It is most commonly believed to be caused by hormones, like those that occur with birth control medications and pregnancy. Less prevalent factors that are typically associated with melasma are sun damage, stress, and genetics.
How does laser treatment for melasma work?
When using Harmony XL PRO laser technology, our staff will direct a powerful energy beam into melasmic patches on the skin. The laser will gently help diminish melanin (the substance that causes discoloration), allowing it to be absorbed by your body. Though pigmented spots might darken at first, they will likely diminish over the course of seven days.
Does melasma come back after laser treatment?
While laser therapies can work to decrease the look of melasma, more gray, brown, or tan patches may develop over time. Several procedures may be scheduled to help maintain your results.
What is the cost of laser melasma treatment?
At Treasure Valley Aesthetics & Wellness, the cost of melasma treatment with lasers varies based on individual needs. Our practitioners will design a treatment plan to help fit your goals and explain the simple payment solutions taken at our Meridian, ID practice.
