Treatment Overview
Treatment Overview
Melasma is a long-term skin condition that causes brown or grayish-brown patches on the skin that aren't even. Most of the time, these patches are on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. It can be hard to deal with and emotionally upsetting, but it doesn't hurt you. It often gets worse when you're in the sun or when your hormones change. We offer safe, non-invasive melasma treatments at NewDermaMed that are made just for your skin type and needs. Our goal is to fade existing pigmentation, restore clarity, and support long-term skin health using advanced depigmentation systems, gentle laser therapies, and medical-grade skincare.
What to Expect
What to Expect
A full skin evaluation is the first step in most melasma treatments. This helps find the underlying causes of your pigmentation. Depending on your condition, treatment may include depigmentation peels, personalized laser treatments, microneedling with brightening serums, or prescription-strength skin care. Most of the time, each session lasts 30 to 60 minutes and doesn't require much downtime. Most patients can go back to their normal activities right away, but some may have some redness or mild flaking. After the first few sessions, you can usually see improvements, and they get better over time.
How it Works
How it Works
Melasma happens when melanocytes (cells that make pigment) are too active and make too much melanin. Our treatments work by lowering this activity, breaking down existing pigment, and calming the skin to stop pigmentation caused by inflammation. Gentle lasers and depigmentation systems are two examples of technologies that safely target pigment without overheating or irritating the skin. Medical-grade skincare keeps the results and stops them from coming back. We take a whole-person approach to treating melasma by combining corrective and preventive care.
Maintenance
Maintenance
Ongoing care is important for melasma because it is a long-term problem. Most patients do best with 3 to 6 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions every so often. For long-term success, you need to protect your skin from the sun every day and use the skin care products your doctor gives you. If you take care of your skin properly, the results can last a long time and the pigmentation can come back less often.

Who is Melasma Treatment For?
People with patchy brown or grayish-brown spots on their face or other areas that are exposed to the sun can benefit from melasma treatment. It is especially good for people whose skin color changes because of the sun, hormones, pregnancy, birth control, or genetics. Men and women can both use the treatments, but melasma is most common in women with medium to dark skin tones. If you’ve noticed pigmentation that doesn’t go away with over-the-counter products or discoloration that gets worse in the sun, professional melasma care can help fade spots safely, even out your skin tone, and keep them from coming back with regular care.
