Melasma Treatment Toronto with MedLite® C6 Laser

Splotches, irregular skin colouring, and dark blotches with uneven borders - discolouration of the skin, known as melasma, is a common affliction of many women around the world. Though it can sometimes be mistaken for a suntan, it is definitely not a desirable condtion because of its ability to negatively affect an otherwise even facial complexion.

Though melasma does not pose any serious health risks, many afflicted find it to be annoying and embarrassing because in most cases, it cannot be easily covered by makeup.

But there's no need to cake on that foundation and concealer anymore. There is an effective treatment for melasma and hyperpigmentation now available at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. Contact 416-221-5554 to find out more about the procedure and the remarkable effects of the MedLite® C6 Laser by booking your free consultation with a medical professional.

The Consultation

Before undergoing treatment for melasma and hyperpigmentation, a complimentary consultation is required to assess the type of skin discolouration you may have. Our knowledgable patient consultant will examine the discolouration, discuss your goals and expectations from undergoing the treatment, as well as determine whether it can be effectively treated with the MedLite® C6 Laser. Alternative treatments may be discussed, such as microdermabrasion and photorejuvenation.

Consultation generally takes from 10 to 20 minutes.

Melasma and Chloasma Treatment with the MedLite® C6 laser

Working at a wavelength of 532nm, the MedLite® C6 laser is one of the most effective systems for the treatment of melasma, chloasma and hyperpigmentation. Even pigmented lesions such as age spots, some birthmarks, and freckles can be treated.

The unwanted skin discolouration is targeted by an intense laser beam, which is absorbed by the excess melanin, or skin pigment, of the melasma or pigmented lesion. This helps to break up the excess pigmentation into particles, effectively destroying the discolouration. As a result, all traces of unusual pigment are removed, leaving only a uniform skin tone. No negative effect to the desirable pigmentation of the surrounding area occurs.

In fact, most patients experience improvement after just a single session of melasma treatment!

If the laser is used on normal skin, it may result in some extent of whitening. This whitening is not considered permanent, as the body will naturally replace the lost melanin over time.
