What is Melasma?
Many people have experienced melasma at some point in their lives, which causes areas of dark skin to occur on the face, forearms, and neck. These tan, gray, or brown patches most commonly appear on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, or upper lip. Women with darker skin tones have an increased risk of developing the condition, and sun damage or hormonal fluctuations may be the underlying reasons for its occurrence. Our team at Flawless Salon and Medical Spa proudly provides Harmony XL PRO from Alma to address melasma. This innovative approach works through targeted light energy to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Please schedule a consultation at our Butte, MT medical spa to determine if laser-assisted melasma treatments can help rejuvenate your skin's appearance!

What Are the Benefits of Laser Melasma Treatment?
Laser melasma treatment offers a revolutionary approach to reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by melasma. This innovative treatment has several key benefits, including:
- Targeted treatment
- Minimal downtime
- Effective results
- Long-term improvement
How Does Laser Melasma Treatment Work?
Laser melasma treatment utilizes advanced laser technology to target and break down excess melanin in the skin, which causes dark patches associated with melasma. The Harmony XL PRO device emits precise wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin without damaging surrounding tissues, effectively fragmenting the pigment. This process promotes the body’s natural healing response, allowing for the gradual fading of melasma and resulting in a more even skin tone. Multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results, making it a safe and effective option for individuals looking to address pigmentation concerns.

What causes melasma?
Melasma can occur anytime in an individual's life. Generally, melasma happens because of hormone fluctuations during pregnancy and from taking birth control pills. Other causes of melasma include damage from UV rays, stress, and genetics.
How does laser treatment for melasma work?
When utilizing Harmony XL PRO laser technology, your provider will focus light-based energy on the hyperpigmentation patches on the top layer of your skin. The laser will break down pigmentation, which your body naturally absorbs. While these spots may look darker initially, they will most likely look less noticeable after a week.
Does melasma come back after laser treatment?
Although laser options can decrease the appearance of melasma, more patches may appear in the future. We can help determine how many sessions you need to help lengthen your results.
