Melasma Laser

Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark, patchy discoloration on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. It is often associated with hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics. Melasma can be challenging to treat, but at Metropolis, we offer a range of effective treatment options to help patients manage and improve their melasma concerns.

One of the treatment options we specialize in is the use of the Hollywood Spectra laser. This laser utilizes a combination of Q-switched and long-pulsed laser technologies to target and break down excessive melanin in the skin. The Hollywood Spectra laser is known for its ability to effectively lighten and reduce the appearance of melasma patches, resulting in more even skin tone. The laser also stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve overall skin texture and tone.

Another treatment option we offer is the LaseMD Ultra laser. This non-ablative fractional laser system works by delivering controlled energy to the skin’s deeper layers, targeting pigmentation irregularities associated with melasma. The LaseMD Ultra laser can be customized to each patient’s specific needs, allowing for precise treatment of melasma-affected areas. The laser stimulates collagen production and promotes cell turnover, which helps to fade melasma pigmentation and improve skin clarity.

At Metropolis, we excel in treating melasma using the Hollywood Spectra laser and the LaseMD Ultra laser due to several factors. Firstly, our specialists are highly trained and experienced in using these advanced laser technologies, ensuring safe and effective treatments. They have a deep understanding of melasma and its underlying causes, allowing them to tailor the treatment approach to each patient’s unique needs. Additionally, Metropolis is equipped with state-of-the-art laser devices that deliver optimal results, providing patients with the highest standard of care.

I really cannot say enough about my experiences at Metropolis Dermatology. From the booking system to the office ambiance to the patient care - this is truly an amazing dermatology experience. I always see Dr. Shauna Higgins and each visit has truly been a top notch. Dr. Higgins is attentive, engaging, well-informed, and effective. I have recommended dozens of friends to her and they all have had similar experiences. So glad I found this place!
