What Is Melasma?

‍

Melasma, also known as "chloasma", is a common skin condition marked by brown patches, primarily on the face. These patches often appear on the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, and upper lip, and can also develop on other sun-exposed areas of the body.

The primary triggers for melasma include hormonal changes and sun exposure. While both men and women can develop melasma, it is more prevalent in women, particularly those with Latin or Asian backgrounds.

Treatment Overview

‍

Finebeam Dual and Finebeam Qplus Q-switched lasers have gained recognition as effective treatments for melasma. These advanced lasers emit ultra-short pulses of high-energy light that target melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color) in the affected areas.

‍

The intense energy delivered by these lasers helps break down melanin, gradually lightening melasma patches over time.

‍

Finebeam uses a precise wavelength of light specifically designed to target the deeper layers of skin affected by melasma. This controlled process stimulates collagen production and promotes skin renewal, making Finebeam highly effective in treating melasma.

It not only helps reduce pigmentation but also improves skin texture and clarity, leaving the skin refreshed, rejuvenated, and more even-toned.
