WHAT IS MELASMA?
Many people experience melasma at some point in their lives, a condition characterized by uneven patches of darkened skin on areas such as the face, neck, and forearms. These gray, tan, or brown spots often appear symmetrically across the forehead, cheeks, nose, upper lip, or chin. Melasma is more common in women with darker skin tones and is often triggered by hormonal changes—such as those that occur during pregnancy or menopause—or by UV exposure.
At Enhance Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer advanced melasma treatments using the Harmony XL PRO laser by Alma. This gentle, minimally invasive technology targets hyperpigmentation with light energy to reduce discoloration and even out your skin tone. Schedule a consultation at our Yuma, AZ office to find out if laser melasma treatment can help restore your skin’s clarity and boost your confidence.
HOW DO LASER MELASMA TREATMENTS WORK?
Using precise light pulses, the Harmony XL PRO laser targets and breaks down the excess pigmentation responsible for melasma. During treatment, a focused beam of light energy is directed at the affected areas, helping to fragment melanin—the pigment that causes discoloration—so it can be naturally absorbed by the body. It’s common for treated spots to temporarily darken before gradually fading over the following week. While laser therapy can significantly reduce the appearance of melasma, new pigmentation may develop over time. To maintain optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended.
