Melasma Treatments: Clear the Spots, Keep the Glow

Tired of those stubborn dark patches messing with your confidence? You’re not alone—melasma, those pesky brown or grayish blotches that love to camp out on your face, neck, or arms, is more common than you think. But here’s the good news: at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, we’re not here to slap on a quick fix. We’re here to get to the root of your discoloration—because melasma is more than just a surface problem.

So, what makes our approach to melasma treatment different? We know melasma isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” issue. Whether it popped up during pregnancy, after too much fun in the sun, or seems to run in the family, we customize your treatment plan to suit your unique skin and lifestyle. We go beyond fading those visible patches—we target the deeper causes of your pigmentation.

And here’s a little secret: The real glow-up comes from evening out your skin tone. Because when your skin is clear and reflects light evenly, it looks fresher, younger, and healthier—without needing heavy makeup to cover up.

Ready to show your skin who’s boss? Schedule a consultation with us at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, and let’s create a plan that helps you say, “Bye-bye, blotches” and “Hello, confidence”—because your skin deserves to shine!

Benefits of Our Melasma Treatments

FAQ'S

We offer several proven treatments for melasma, carefully chosen based on your skin type and pigmentation pattern. Our approach might include advanced laser treatments that target deep pigmentation, medical-grade peels that gently remove darkened surface cells, and specially formulated topical treatments that help maintain results at home. Many of our clients see the best results when a combination of treatments works together. We also help you understand what triggers your melasma – things like sun exposure, hormonal changes, and heat – so you can avoid factors that might make it worse.

Melasma is complex – those dark marks on your face often go deeper than just surface pigmentation. Our treatments work at multiple levels, targeting both the visible brown spots and the underlying factors that cause them. We start with a comprehensive examination to understand what’s triggering your melasma. Is it hormonal changes? Sun damage? Genetics? By identifying these root causes, we can create a more effective treatment plan. We might combine treatments that reduce existing dark spots while also addressing factors like excess pigment production and skin barrier function.

Yes! We’ve successfully treated melasma in people with all skin types and tones. Those black spots on the skin or dark patches can look different and react differently depending on your skin tone, so we carefully adjust our treatments accordingly. We’re especially careful with darker skin tones, using gentle approaches that reduce pigmentation without causing irritation. Before starting any treatment, we do a detailed skin assessment to make sure we choose the safest, most effective options for your specific skin type.

Most people start seeing improvements in their dark marks within a few weeks of starting treatment. However, melasma treatment is a journey – it usually takes several months of consistent care to achieve the best results. While we can significantly improve those brown spots on your face, it’s important to understand that melasma can return if triggered. That’s why we focus not just on treatment but also on prevention. With proper maintenance and sun protection, many of our clients maintain their clearer complexion for years.

Our melasma treatments are designed to be gentle on your skin, but you might experience some mild redness or sensitivity afterward, depending on the specific treatment used. Most people return to their normal activities right away. Any visible effects usually fade within a few days. We’ll give you detailed instructions on what to expect and how to care for your skin after each treatment. It’s important to be extra careful about sun protection during and after treatment – those dark spots on the skin can worsen with sun exposure.

The key to long-lasting results lies in your daily skincare routine and lifestyle choices. We’ll provide you with a personalized plan that focuses on preventing pigmentation from returning. Your maintenance plan includes the following:

  • High-quality, broad-spectrum TINTED MINERAL ONLY sunscreen (the most important step!)
  • Skin-friendly moisturizers and cleansers
  • A morning and evening skincare routine that fits your lifestyle and supports healthy skin
  • Natural supplements to help heal and nurture your skin from within
  • Ways to protect your skin from common triggers, like heat and blue light
  • Simple tips for choosing the right makeup
  • Regular follow-up visits to check your progress

 

Remember, melasma needs ongoing care to stay under control. Think of it like maintaining a healthy diet – consistency is everything. Our team will be with you at every step, making sure you have all the tools and knowledge you need for lasting results.
