What Is The Melasma Treatment?

Also referred to as Hollywood Peel, it is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that involves using a combination of lasers and carbon lotion to target various skin conditions including melasma. Melasma is a common skin condition that causes discolored patches on one’s skin. These patches can be either flat or freckle-like and can vary in color from light to dark brown or even blue to grey. Some individuals experience worsening of this condition during summers due to an increase in sun exposure and may see improvements in their symptoms in the winter.

How Does It Work In Achieving Its Aim?

The goal is to reduce the production of melanin and improve the skin’s texture by encouraging skin rejuvenation. How it works is by using laser energy, it targets the carbon lotion that is present on the surface of the skin leading to a brightening effect on the patches of melasma. Along with that, it penetrates deeper into the skin giving a boost to collagen production and encouraging skin cell turnover leading to a more radiant complexion and an even skin tone.

Results:

The results vary for each individual depending on the severity of the condition. However, after a few sessions, individuals notice the lightening of hyperpigmentation. The overall result is an overall improvement in one’s tone and texture of their skin resulting in a smooth and even appearance.

Pre-Treatment:
