Ever wonder about the brown patch of tanned skin on your body that refuses to disappear? Melasma, a skin condition causing permanent brown pigment patches of skin over the body and face, is more common than you think. Over 90 percent of those inflicted with the skin complaint are women, with the condition becoming more prevalent during pregnancy. With such a high figure, it isn’t surprising that laser treatment is now often sought to solve the embarrassing problem.

Melasma is a common skin complaint that usually presents itself on the face, often displaying symmetrically. Only ten percent of those with this condition are men, leaving the often esteem-destroying complaint to women. Of those affected by melasma, darker complexions are more prone to the condition than those with fair skin.

Patches of tan-like discolouration can commonly appear on the face, with the neck, chest and forearms also prone to pigment change. Milder cases can go unnoticed, dismissed as a tan; however, depending on the placement of discoloration and depth of damage, melasma can become difficult to live with and to treat.

Although no physical harm occurs to those suffering the skin disorder, an everlasting patch of brown skin marking an otherwise light complexioned face is more difficult to hide. This may lead to people self-conscious of their appearance, impacting on their daily life.

It’s important to recognise two types of melasma in a patient: epidermal (involving the superficial layers of the skin) and dermal (occurring between the inner layers of skin). Intense Pulsed Light therapy (IPL) is not best suited in the treatment of Melasma and you may find that it may worsen your condition. You’ll read about the negative impact IPL can have on melasma, however our professional team at Precision Laser Therapy can put your mind at ease and advise you on your best course of action.

[av_heading heading=’Is melasma treatable? ‘ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

Melasma is a complex condition that must be respected. Chemical peels and dermabrasion can be used to effectively treat melasma, but can’t effectively treat pigmentation in the dermal layers of the skin. Choosing Laser over other treatments means next to no down time, affordable treatment and controlled improvement.

If done correctly, Laser therapy can lead to drastic improvement for melasma patients. The use of laser to specifically target and break down the melanin responsible for melasma has been proven. However, due to the nature of Melasma there is chance of recurrence.

Expect minimal to zero down time when undergoing Laser treatment. The breakthrough technology ensures a non-invasive approach to combat pigmentation issues. Expect some swelling and redness for the first 48 hours. Basic pain relief and cooling gels can combat this.

After care includes adequate skin protection when out in the sun, which will need to be adhered to for promotion of healing and avoiding any future damage. Often, people comment on how toned and vibrant their skin looks and feels after Laser treatment.

The number of sessions required will be discussed in your consultation prior to any treatment occurring, though a series of 8-12 treatments administered at 1-2 weekly intervals has been shown to achieve significant reduction in pigmentation.
