Melasma is a common skin problem characterized by dark, discolored patches on the face, which is often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics. Our clinic offers advanced treatments to address this concern, helping you achieve a more even skin tone and glowing complexion. The treatment minimizes pigmentation with minimal downtime, ensuring radiant and natural-looking results.
Viva Medspa & Wellness uses the latest laser and light-based treatments to combat melasma. These innovative treatments deliver controlled energy to the skin, targeting pigment and stimulating cell turnover without damaging surrounding tissue. They are gentle yet effective solutions for treating melasma and are suitable for various skin types.
A series of 3 to 4 appointments scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart is generally advisable. We suggest regular maintenance treatments and a comprehensive skincare regimen to maximize the results of your treatment.
Results from IPL and LaseMD Ultra treatments are gradual, with improvements in skin tone and texture developing over the following weeks. Continuous skin rejuvenation and collagen production contribute to long-lasting results. You can enjoy a brighter, more even complexion with proper sun protection and skincare.
IPL delivers light energy to break down excess pigmentation in the skin. Over time, the treated pigment flakes off, revealing a more even complexion. It’s a minimally invasive treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime.
LaseMD Ultra treatments are well-tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as mild heat. A numbing agent can be used for added comfort, but most people find it comfortable without numbing.
Some initial improvements may be visible after the first treatment, but most clients see the best results after 3 to 4 sessions. The skin continues to improve over time with collagen production and pigmentation reduction.
While IPL and LaseMD Ultra effectively treat existing melasma, prevention requires an intense skincare routine, including daily sunscreen use and avoiding triggers like excessive sun exposure.
Side effects are usually minor, such as temporary redness or slight swelling, which resolve within a few days. The treatments are designed to be safe for various skin types with minimal risk of complications.
Melasma can reoccur due to hormonal changes or sun exposure. To maintain your results, follow a good skincare regimen, use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and schedule maintenance treatments as your provider recommends.
