Melasma Laser Correction
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by brown or grayish patches on the face, typically on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. It often occurs due to hormonal changes, sun exposure, or genetics.
​
At 1st Choice Wellness Center, we are proud to offer Melasma Laser Correction using the cutting-edge Alma Harmony® XL Pro Laser Service. Our commitment to providing effective and safe treatments for various skin conditions sets us apart.
Melasma Laser Correction is an effective treatment for melasma, particularly when other options like skin-lightening agents or chemical peels have not yielded satisfactory results.
Let’s explore how it works
Laser Permeation:
During melasma laser treatment, specialized lasers permeate the outer layer of your skin.
These lasers target the excess melanin (pigment) responsible for the dark spots and patches associated with melasma.
​
Cell Renewal:
The laser energy stimulates cell renewal in the treated areas.
As a result, your skin undergoes rejuvenation, leading to a brighter and more even complexion.
​
Benefits of Melasma Laser Treatment
Quick Sessions: Laser treatments are efficient and typically require minimal recovery time
​
Precise Targeting: Lasers focus only on the affected areas, sparing surrounding tissues.
​
Improved Skin Tone: By renewing skin cells, melasma laser correction helps achieve a smoother and more even skin tone.
​
Enhanced Self-Esteem: If melasma has affected your self-confidence, laser therapy can contribute to restoring your self-esteem.
Temporary Redness and Peeling: Similar to a sunburn, you may experience redness, irritation, swelling, and peeling for a few days after the procedure.
​
Hypopigmentation: In some cases, treated areas may experience a lack of melanocytes (hypopigmentation).
​
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: This temporary hyperpigmentation can occur, especially in individuals with darker skin tones.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
Long-Term Management
Combining laser treatments with other methods, such as topical whitening creams and chemical peels, enhances effectiveness.
Long-term use of topical creams is often recommended to reduce the risk of melasma recurrence and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
