Melasma is a skin colour change that’s usually an even brown colour and often appears on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip.
Melasma is not physically harmful, but often can have a significant impact on the mental health of those who suffer with it.
There are a variety of treatments available for melasma, with one of the most popular and effective being laser pigmentation removal. This is a relatively painless process that helps to remove unwanted pigment from anywhere on your body.
Melanocytic naevus (or nevus, in American English) are commonly known as moles. They are benign skin lesions that form after a proliferation of pigment cells (melanocytes). There are many different types of naevus; some appear at birth, while others appear later in life.
Naevus that appear during childhood (aged 2 to 10) are often more persistent, while naevus that appear during adulthood are often caused by sun exposure and can fade in time.
Laser treatment can be successful in removing moles. Lasers destroy the dark cells near the skin’s surface by targeting melanin with ultra-short bursts of laser light. It is a safe, effective procedure with minimal side effects.
Our advanced laser technologies ensure a safe and effective pigment removal process. Easy to operate and highly effective, there is no better choice than Cynosure Lutronic.
Its 1064nm wavelength allows it to treat all phototypes and also to penetrate deeply enough to reach the dermal pigmentary component of melasma. The PicoToning handpiece makes it easy to target large spot sizes and low fluences to eliminate melanin without destroying the cell membrane that contains the pigment, which highly limits the risk of pigment rebound. Its Gold Toning handpiece at 595nm is an additional asset for the management of the inflammatory condition of melasma.
Its 1064nm wavelength allows it to treat all phototypes and also to penetrate deeply enough to reach the dermal pigmentary component of melasma. On the other hand, the PTP+ mode makes it possible to combine a subtle thermal effect with the photomechanical effect to both destroy the excess melanin present in the skin and improve the condition of the dermis. This reduces the inflammatory component of melasma. Its Gold Toning handpiece at 585nm is an additional asset for the management of the inflammatory condition of melasma. The Hollywood Spectra, therefore, makes it possible to treat all types of melasma on any phototype.
Treatment of melasma with lasers has been always a challenge due to the very complex behavior of this pigmentary disorder. Picosure Pro technology has been the first pico-laser device in getting FDA clearance for melasma treatment which is an important historical milestone in the Aesthetic Industry.
Picosure Pro technology has shown favorable results in treatment of benign pigmented lesions including melasma with a high efficacy and safety of using the 755‐nm laser.
Cynosure Lutronic has strong clinical evidence behind to support the excellent outcomes in melasma treatments.
This sub-ablative fractional 1927nm wavelength Thulium laser allows for very gentle vaporisation without pain or downtime, part of the epidermal pigment component of melasma, thus causing the lightening of the lesion. This treatment is combined with the application of a LaseMD ampoule of tranexamic acid, which also reduces the inflammatory component of melasma. Thus, the LaseMD Ultra, in addition to its own laser action, also improves (by 7 times) the penetration of cosmeceuticals and medications through the skin. Since it is only absorbed by water, it allows the treatment of all phototypes.
The first step on your pigmentation removal journey must be to find a qualified practitioner who specialises in laser treatments for melasma removal.
