Melasma is characterized by areas of facial pigmentation often caused by hormones. Our PicoLazer destroys the pigment that causes melasma and blends the area to create a more even skin tone.
Melasma is a condition of hyperpigmentation most commonly experienced by women. Sometimes called “the mask of pregnancy,” it often appears in pregnant women due to hormonal changes, although there are other potential causes. Melasma causes brown or gray-brown patches to appear on the cheeks, chin, forehead or nose. While there is no cure, treatments such as topical bleaching creams or chemical peels can reduce pigmentation.
Laser treatments can address many skin pigmentation issues — and melasma is no different. At our medical aesthetic clinic in Bakersfield, California, we proudly offer pico laser technology to treat melasma.
Picosecond laser therapy is different than most standard laser treatments. The device rapidly delivers energy in picoseconds rather than nanoseconds — that’s increments of one-trillionth of a second. This rapid-fire system allows the energy to be converted into pressure rather than heat.
As the pico laser swiftly penetrates the skin, it targets the underlying layers to address melasma at its root. The pressure from the pico laser breaks up the pigment, which the body then gets rid of. This process can lead to clearer skin.
During your consultation at Synergy Wellness, our experts will help you determine if pico laser treatments would be an effective option for your melasma or other pigmentation issues. Some of the benefits of melasma treatment with a pico laser device include:
If you’re considering melasma treatment, learn more with these common questions.
It is unclear what exactly causes melasma, but it seems to be related to a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. Pregnant women are predominantly affected, but sun exposure and hormonal contraceptives can also play a role in the development of melasma.
Everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin, but perhaps the dark patches and spots of melasma leave you feeling self-conscious. You can usually see these dark patches and spots in prominent places on your face, like on your cheeks, upper lip, chin and forehead.
If you are experiencing melasma, consider treatment. Melasma laser treatment can help you even out those dark spots so you can feel more confident in your skin.
Topical creams and chemical peels can be your first line of defense against these kinds of dark spots. However, these treatments are not always effective, especially if you have a darker skin tone. Laser treatment is a more predictable way to treat melasma, as it can remove pigment cells, resulting in a clearer complexion.
Depending on your specific skin condition, you may see results after your first session, but it may take up to six months. It is also important to space out your sessions appropriately. Our dedicated team at Synergy Wellness will help you book your sessions with enough time in between for rest and recovery — around 30 days between each session.
For your convenience, our sessions are only 10 minutes long, and we’ll ensure you have a relaxing experience at our medical aesthetic clinic in Bakersfield, California.
Laser therapy has helped many even out their complexion and can have lasting results, but melasma has no cure. To help prevent melasma from returning after your treatment, it is crucial you wear high-SPF sunscreens — broad-spectrum tinted sunscreens are most effective.
One of the advantages of pico laser treatments is that sessions only cause mild discomfort. Some people do experience some side effects after their sessions, but this is not common. Some side effects include redness or discoloration, swelling, and a burning or stinging sensation. Take good care of your skin after sessions — stay out of the sun and always wear sunscreen. The Synergy Wellness team can provide proper instructions on caring for your skin between sessions.
