Melasma is a frustrating life-long disorder. Because it occurs in multiple layers and from multiple causes, melasma must be managed using a multi-modality approach.
SWT®-IPL (Selective Waveband Technology IPL)
SWT®-IPL is an advanced laser treatment that uses Selective Waveband Technology, making it a safer option for patients with melasma and pigmentation concerns. This treatment helps improve skin tone and reduce discoloration while minimizing the risk of triggering melasma.
Typically, a series of three treatments spaced four weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every six months. The full-face treatment is usually recommended. Book it HERE.
Targeted Skincare Regimen
A consistent, targeted skincare routine plays a crucial role in managing pigmentation and maintaining treatment results. Recommended products include retinols by Hydrinity or Skinbetter, which are applied nightly (gradually working up to nightly use as tolerated), and tyrosinase inhibitors such as Vivid Brightening Cream by Hydrinity or Even Intensive by Skinbetter, which are applied twice daily. Pricing varies depending on the specific products selected.
Our Nurse Practitioner, Tara, also can prescribe stronger medications that are more gold-standard recommendations by dermatologists and melasma specialists.
