Fraxel Laser - Melasma/Pigmentation

Melasma is a skin condition in which patches of brown or tan discoloration appear on the forehead, cheeks, lips, nose or forearms as a result of the body’s sudden overproduction of pigment. Sometimes called the “mask of pregnancy,” melasma can afflict anyone, but is most often triggered in women—especially during the hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptive use or hormone replacement therapy.

Fraxel Laser Treatment, with its gentle non-ablative skin rejuvenation and rapid healing time, is now available for melasma sufferers of all skin types.

“After getting off the birth control pill and having a hysterectomy, I developed melasma on my face that was really noticeable. With the Fraxel® Laser, I noticed a remarkable improvement in these brown spots after only one treatment—even in areas that were really dark brown. I’ve had three treatments with Fraxel® Laser so far—my melasma is clear and the overall texture of my skin seems better as well.”
