Melasma

Melasma
Melasma is a skin condition, which results in blotchy patches of brown skin discolouration on the face, often triggered by hormonal changes, pregnancy, or sun exposure. Melsma may be lifelong or last for years, although in other cases it fades with time. It is common for recurrences of melasma to occur with sun exposure, therefore continuous SPF application is advised.

  • Chemical Peel
A professional chemical peel is one of the best treatments for melasma, and removes discolouration and excess pigmentation caused by melasma by applying a chemical solution to remove the top layer of damaged skin. A chemical peel also helps with texture, wrinkles, and rejuvenating the skin overall.
  • Microneedling
Microneedling is an effective treatment to remove pigmentation, textural, and tone issues from the skin by inducing collagen production via controlled micro-injuries.
  • Laser Treatment
The Candela GentleMax Pro is an Health Canada approved laser which is cleared to treat pigmentation on the skin and get rid of dark spots.
