Modern Laser’s Comprehensive Approach to Treating Melasma

Who is at Risk of Melasma? Melasma affects up to 33% of the population, with women being far more likely to develop it—men make up only about 10% of cases. It’s most common during a woman’s reproductive years (ages 20–40), particularly among 15–50% of pregnant women, earning it the nickname “pregnancy mask.” Hormonal factors like oral contraceptives and conditions such as hypothyroidism can also increase risk. Additionally, individuals with darker skin tones are more prone to melasma due to higher melanin levels.

At Modern Laser, we take a thoughtful and results-driven approach to managing melasma, targeting both the pigmentation and the underlying causes. Our protocol begins with three weeks of skin preparation, using a melanin inhibitor to reduce pigmentation activity while reconditioning the skin for optimal treatment results.

Next, we utilize the Ultra 1927 Fractional Laser, a cutting-edge technology that precisely targets and breaks up brown spots, while simultaneously improving overall skin tone and texture. This dual benefit not only reduces melasma but also enhances the skin’s radiance and smoothness.

To maximize and prolong results, we follow up with Tranexamic Acid ampoules, a potent treatment that lightens pigmentation and reduces recurrence. Delivered deep into the skin and enhanced by the laser, this step ensures long-lasting, visible improvement.

Our comprehensive melasma treatment is designed to deliver real, transformative results, helping you achieve clearer, brighter, and healthier skin. Your journey to a more confident you starts here!

Why Can LaseMD Ultra Treat Melasma When Other Lasers Can’t?

The LaseMD Ultra is uniquely effective for melasma because of its 1927nm Thulium fractional laser technology, which allows it to target pigmentation safely without triggering inflammation or worsening the condition. Here’s why it stands out compared to other lasers:

1. Gentle Yet Powerful Treatment for Melasma

Many traditional lasers, such as ablative CO₂ or high-intensity lasers, can generate too much heat, which may actually worsen melasma by triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). LaseMD Ultra, however, works at a precise 1927nm wavelength, which targets the epidermis (outermost skin layer) where melasma develops, without causing excessive heat or trauma.

2. Fractional, Non-Ablative Technology

Unlike aggressive resurfacing lasers, LaseMD Ultra is fractional and non-ablative, meaning it creates microscopic channels in the skin rather than removing entire layers.

This approach allows for:

  • Faster healing and minimal downtime
  • Lower risk of pigment rebound
  • Improved absorption of melasma-fighting serums (such as tranexamic acid, Vitamin C, and other brightening agents)

3. Stimulates Collagen Without Overheating

Melasma is not just a pigmentation issue—it is also linked to vascular (blood vessel) and inflammatory factorsLaseMD Ultra stimulates collagen and skin regeneration while keeping inflammation low, helping to strengthen the skin barrier and prevent future pigment formation.

4. Safe for More Skin Types

Unlike some lasers that aren’t suitable for darker skin tones due to the risk of post-treatment pigmentation, LaseMD Ultra is safe for a wider range of skin types, making it a versatile, long-term melasma solution.

By gently resurfacing, regulating melanin production, and enhancing the skin’s ability to absorb pigment inhibitorsLaseMD Ultra offers one of the safest, most effective treatments for melasma—something many traditional lasers cannot achieve without risk.
