Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, pigmented patches to appear on the face. It is most commonly seen in women, particularly during pregnancy or while taking hormonal birth control. Although melasma is not harmful, it can cause emotional distress and have a negative impact on a person’s self-esteem.

At Anhelos Medical, we offer the latest technology in treating melasma with the M22 Lumines laser. Here’s what you need to know about melasma and how the M22 Lumines laser can help treat it:

What is melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition that causes dark, pigmented patches to appear on the face. It is most commonly seen in women, particularly during pregnancy or while taking hormonal birth control. Melasma can also be triggered by sun exposure, stress, and certain medications.

The condition is caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Melasma typically appears on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip.

How does the M22 Lumines laser treat melasma?

The M22 Lumines laser uses advanced technology to target and reduce the appearance of melasma. The laser works by emitting short bursts of energy into the skin, which breaks up the pigmented areas and stimulates the body’s natural healing process.

The M22 Lumines laser can be adjusted to deliver different wavelengths of light, making it a highly customizable treatment option. This allows our team to target specific areas of the skin and deliver the most effective treatment possible.

What are the benefits of using the M22 Lumines laser for melasma?

The M22 Lumines laser is a safe and effective treatment option for melasma. It is a non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

In addition to treating melasma, the M22 Lumines laser can also improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. This makes it an ideal treatment option for patients who are looking to improve their overall skin health and appearance.

How many treatments are required, and what are the results?

The number of treatments required will vary depending on the severity of the melasma and the individual patient’s needs. Most patients will require multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. Our team will work with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan based on their specific needs and goals.

After treatment with the M22 Lumines laser, patients can expect to see a significant improvement in the appearance of their melasma. The skin will appear brighter, smoother, and more even in tone. The results of treatment are long-lasting, and patients can enjoy beautiful, healthy-looking skin for months to come.
