Melasma is a fairly common skin condition, especially among pregnant women. It shows up as brown or gray-brown patches, usually on the face, most often on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
Melasma can be a frustrating skin condition to deal with, especially since it often results from hormonal changes outside of our control. Sun exposure and certain medication can also trigger melasma.
But here at Harmonized Aesthetics, we have options for your melasma treatment in Tallahassee, and our experts will guide you along the way. We’ll join you on your journey to a restored complexion, utilizing a range of techniques to help you see clear skin in the mirror once again.
Melasma Treatment Options
No two people are the same, so we would never recommend a one-size-fits-all treatment for everyone. Instead, we offer several different treatment options, and we can work with you to determine the right one for you.
Topical Treatments
One effective approach to managing melasma involves a compound approach. During a consultation where we look at your skin’s unique qualities, we can recommend specific skincare products that contain retin-A and hydroquinone—which, when paired together, can effectively clear up melasma.
Hydroquinone helps to lighten the dark patches by reducing the melanin production, and retin-A helps your skin shed off the old cells to reveal a better complexion underneath.
When dedicated to regularly using a product that includes this powerful duo, it can lead to noticeable improvements. However, it’s crucial to follow up with a recommended sunscreen from our medical-grade skincare line for this melasma treatment in Tallahassee, as UV exposure from the sun can worsen melasma and contradict the benefits of your skincare routine.
Laser Treatments
Laser treatments, such as the Helix laser that we offer here at Harmonized Aesthetics, can have a significant impact on melasma. With multiple treatment modalities and ample room for customization, Helix can target the hyperpigmentation from melasma by delivering precise energy to the areas of your concern.
The Helix laser stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, encouraging your body to shed old cells and renew your complexion with stronger, healthier, more even-toned skin. This kind of facial rejuvenation achieves excellent results.
Over time, as your skin’s health increases, you can combine topical treatments with laser therapy to experience the maximum benefits of our melasma treatments in Tallahassee.
