Melasma Treatment

Face Melasma With an Expert

While melasma may eventually fade on its own, it can be challenging to feel confident when suffering from melasma. Fortunately, Epione provides effective melasma treatment in Beverly Hills. Our nonsurgical treatments can deliver the results you want with modern treatment options.

What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition that is physically harmless but can still significantly impact a patient’s life. It appears as light to dark brown or blue-gray patches on the skin. The shape and pattern can vary widely, so it is important to have a skin expert diagnose your condition to differentiate it from other possibilities. Pregnant individuals are most commonly affected, and symptoms can worsen during summer. Importantly, melasma is not contagious, nor is it a sign of an infection.

How Do We Treat Melasma?

While melasma may eventually fade on its own, waiting for that possibility often simply is not worth it. Day after day, you may see no improvements while still dealing with the changes in your appearance and their effect on self-confidence. Dr. Ourian provides laser treatment as a highly consistent path toward clearing away melasma.

Laser treatments are very well-tolerated among patients of all ages. Even patients with sensitive skin respond well to the custom-made Coolaser system used by Dr. Ourian at his practice. He worked directly with top engineers to create this custom system that enhances patient comfort while also delivering apical results. The treatment requires no anesthesia, and it typically only feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin.

When Will I See Improvements in My Melasma?

Patients tend to begin seeing improvements about one week after their first laser treatment for melasma. Around this time, the upper layer of skin should have flaked off, revealing healthier skin below. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you may need a regimen of several

sessions to restore your skin. During your consultation, Dr. Ourian will go through your entire plan and outline what the timeline will look like for you to reach your goals.

Keeping Up Your Benefits

Additionally, it is important to identify any factors that may be contributing to outbreaks of melasma. For example, certain oral contraceptives and hormones may further increase your risk of developing melasma again. Furthermore, dietary elements can also have a protective or exacerbative effect on melasma symptoms.

Dr. Ourian will also provide additional instructions as needed to help ensure your results are long-lasting. Based on your condition and type of skin, Dr. Ourian may also advise on skin products that can help keep your results stable.

Comprehensive Skin Rejuvenation

The Coolaser system can help with melasma, but one of the added benefits is that it improves your skin overall. While you may just be seeking improvements to melasma, the treatment can also tighten loose skin and improve overall skin texture. Thus, patients receive the benefits of multiple treatments in a single visit. Each treatment can boost collagen production and improve the overall health of the skin cells that make up the upper layers of your skin.

Is Melasma Treatment Right for Me?

Deciding whether to pursue a laser melasma treatment depends on how suitable it is for your situation. For example, melasma may be much more difficult to resolve while still pregnant or taking hormone contraceptives. The first step is to discuss your situation with Dr. Ourian during a consultation. He has worked with hundreds of patients experiencing melasma and built effective treatment plans for them.
