What is Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by the appearance of brown or gray-brown patches on the face. It typically affects areas such as the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip, giving the skin an uneven tone. Though it is not harmful, melasma can be persistent and may become more pronounced over time without proper treatment.

At KINS Clinic, we recommend early treatment for easy removal and prevention of further skin damage. Here are some facts and references to learn about melasma, and how to treat it.

How to treat Melasma

Here are two main steps for treating melasma.

STEP

Eliminate Accumulated Melanin Pigment

By using the specialized Q-Switched laser suitable for melasma treatment, it is now possible to effectively treat previously resistant melasma. At KINS Clinic, we employ laser treatments that combine multiple modes, tailored to the characteristics of melasma.

We use lasers with power and wavelengths specifically adjusted for melasma, targeting both deep and superficial pigmentation. This process gradually reduces the melanin causing melasma, dullness, and spots, lightening them over time.

STEP

Preventing Melanin Accumulation

At KINS Clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to prevent melanin accumulation. This includes supporting melasma treatment with oral and topical therapies, daily skincare such as UV protection and moisturizing, and reviewing lifestyle habits. Specifically, we combine laser treatments with microbiome skincare to balance the skin's natural flora, enhancing barrier function and increasing UV resistance. This integrated approach helps prevent the recurrence of melasma and maintain healthy skin.

By combining these methods, we aim to prevent the worsening of melasma and keep your skin healthy.

Laser Treatments:

Opt for laser treatments like Q-switched Nd or fractional lasers to target deeper pigmentation.Q-switched laser treatment is highly recommended due to its precision and efficacy. This advanced laser treatment targets and breaks down melanin deposits in the skin, effectively reducing hyperpigmentation. The Q-switched laser operates at a specific wavelength that selectively targets pigmented cells without harming the surrounding skin, making it suitable for all skin types. Additionally, it can treat both superficial and deeper pigmentation issues, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
