WHAT IS MELASMA?

Melasma, sometimes referred to as the “pregnancy mask,” is a common skin condition that appears as dark, patchy pigmentation, often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or nose. It predominantly affects women and is triggered by factors such as:

  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control)
  • Sun exposure
  • Environmental temperature shifts
  • Genetics

Melasma occurs when melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) become overactive, resulting in uneven melanin production. It can be challenging to manage without the right combination of treatments.

OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TREATING MELASMA

Successfully managing melasma requires addressing both its root causes and its visible symptoms. At Worthy Skin & Beauty Bar, we combine:

  • Medical-Grade Skincare: Using products like 2% hydroquinone and brightening-focused regimens to calm melanocyte activity and reduce inflammation.
  • PicoSure Pro Laser Treatments: Targeting pigmentation directly while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

This dual approach ensures not only visible improvement but also long-term management of melasma’s underlying triggers.

Benefits:

Embarking on a journey with laser treatments naturally raises questions about comfort. While the experience can differ based on factors like treatment size and location, at Worthy Skin & Beauty Bar, your ease remains paramount. Here’s how we’ve designed a more reassuring experience:

Luminous Skin Transformation

How it works:

The PicoSure Pro laser is the first and only FDA-approved laser for melasma treatment. Its advanced technology uses picosecond energy bursts, which are 1000x faster than nanosecond lasers. Here’s how it works:

  • Photomechanical Action: Instead of heat, PicoSure Pro relies on pressure to shatter pigmented cells into tiny particles.
  • Minimal Tissue Damage: The rapid bursts of energy minimize exposure time, reducing damage to surrounding skin.
  • Pigment Removal: The shattered pigment particles are naturally metabolized by the body, leaving the skin clearer and brighter.

This innovative treatment is gentle yet effective, making it ideal for even the most sensitive skin.

AFTER CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Refrain from intensive physical activities for a day post-procedure and avoid any direct heat sources, including hot water, for the subsequent 48 hours.
