LASER OR NEEDLING TO TREAT MELASMA
REDUCE DISCOLORATION. INCREASE CONFIDENCE.
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark patches to form on the face. The exact cause of melasma is unknown, but it is thought to be related to hormonal changes, pregnancy, sun exposure, and genetic factors. It is also more common in women and people with darker skin tones as they possess more pigment producing cells. Although it is not harmful, developing melasma can make you feel self-conscious about your skin. That’s why we offer expert melasma treatment to restore your confidence and refresh your skin.

Although chemical peels and skin products with lactic acid, azelaic acid, kojic acid, or ascorbic acid (vitamin C) are often used to treat melasma, topical medications, and topical agents are not always effective. But don’t worry – a topical treatment is not your only option. At ULTRA Body & Skin we offer laser and skin needling treatments to improve the appearance of both epidermal melasma and dermal melasma. Book in now to start your journey towards your dream skin.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE TREATMENT OF MELASMA?
Pastelle laser melasma treatment: Using acoustic vibrations and heat, this laser breaks up pigment underneath the skin without damaging any healthy cells. This allows your body to more readily absorb unwanted pigments and reduce the appearance of melasma. After treatment, your skin will appear lighter, brighter, and you will have a more even skin tone.
Skin needling melasma treatment: Using an EPN Microneedling device, we create tiny puncture wounds on the skin to trigger a natural wound healing response that boosts collagen growth. This medical-grade dermal pen is minimally invasive and an effective method to produce more evenly toned skin.
Contact ULTRA Body & Skin to discuss any queries you have about our melasma treatments. We will also provide a complimentary consultation where we can discuss which treatment option is right for you.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MELASMA TREATMENTS?
While you may experience mild skin irritation and redness after either of our melasma treatments, there is no pain or downtime involved. Both treatments are quick, effective, and ideal for those who only have lunchtime to spare.
After your melasma treatment, please ensure that you wear strong sunscreens to block out as much ultraviolet radiation and light as possible. This will help to mitigate the return of any melasma and protect the health and appearance of your skin.
