Contact UsWhat Is Melasma?
Many people deal with melasma at some point, which happens when irregular patches of dark skin appear on the face, neck, and forearms. These gray, tan, or brown spots usually appear symmetrically around the brow, nose, cheeks, chin, or upper lip. Melasma appears more often among women with darker skin tones and is thought to be due to UV damage or hormonal fluctuations, like those accompanying pregnancy and menopause. Dr. Leonel Perez offers laser melasma treatments in Annandale, VA at Beyond Esthetics with Alma Harmony XL PRO laser technology. This advanced option uses powerful laser energy to help reduce the appearance of gray, brown, or tan patches that are related to melasma. Set up a skin evaluation to determine whether melasma treatment with lasers can help increase your self-confidence and rejuvenate your complexion!
How Does Melasma Treatment Work?
The Harmony XL PRO laser system works to break up the excess skin pigmentation caused by melasma with focused light pulses. This allows your body to naturally remove and expel the unwanted pigment to achieve a clearer complexion with a more balanced skin tone and texture. Your laser melasma treatment session begins with your skin being cleaned and prepped. We can apply a topical anesthetic to enhance your comfort, although many patients do not find it necessary. The laser handpiece will be drawn across your skin a various number of passes, according to your treatment plan. Some patients may see an initial darkening of their spots after treatment — this is normal and expected and typically diminishes after about a week. While the results of a laser melasma treatment can be long-lasting, new spots may appear in the future, but you can always schedule a maintenance procedure at Beyond Esthetics.

Heads up !! The results will vary from person to person according to the type of skin, the maturity of the skin, even the quality of the skin, and the overall health of it I recommend consultation with a provider I started with some black spots on cheeks (melasma) I must mention that I never been great at taking care of my skin, thinking that my face was going to take time to look old ..boy was so wrong!! to try to save my face, I started with some Hydro facial. I never had anything like this before in my life, I literally got the exfoliating that It feel like Cam was trying to erase my sins away !🤣that let me tell you it was such an amazing treatment and relaxing too! It really help me to improve my fine lines , resurface my skin it also helped me with my pores the collagen added was such a sweet touch!. Then I did a chemical peel, and that help me with the sun damage and but he didn’t erase my melasma . They are days after this treatment that your skin will peel this might be embarrassing to some people so really take your time to plan this. I also did lip fillers, and cheek fillers. I just wanted to know if that was something that look good on me they did a very small dose, so it was not very noticeable, but I could still feel it within six months that was gone. I don’t think I’m doing that again , then I also did Botox and that was worth every penny. You must keep up with it every three months but this is recommended to start as soon as possible! Don’t make my mistake that will cost you more money!! then I did the laser treatment as you recall, I started this whole process, trying to get rid of the spots on my face And I also must mention that this will work as long as you are consistent with it and this was used as a deep solution for the damage skin and dark spots on my skin ! This is the only thing that has actually help me! I’m very happy with the results and I will Continue till I achieve my dream skin ! I also should mention that it was painless!. I highly recommend this . I also started with the weight loss program! I’m excited about this one! Wish me luck!!😊

Scientists are still unclear of the specific cause of melasma but think a sequence of characteristics leads to this ailment, including:
- Specific pharmaceuticals (anti-seizure medication)
- Genetics
- ultraviolet light (sunlight exposure)

Melasma may fade over time, but this doesn't happen for everyone. Flare-ups can occur at different points throughout a person's life. However, melasma can still be effectively managed. With proper treatments and by minimizing sun exposure, individuals can significantly reduce the appearance of melasma.
