Melasma

Medical Skincare

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation, often triggered by factors such as sun exposure, heat, hormonal changes, and genetics. It can be effectively managed with the right topical skincare regimen. Sun protection plays a pivotal role in treating melasma, as UV rays can worsen pigmentation. Avoiding direct sun exposure and strict use of a high-factor broad-spectrum SPF daily is essential in both controlling and preventing melasma.

Topical treatments are considered the gold standard for managing melasma in the UK. At Leicester MediSpa, we offer a range of evidence-based, medical skincare solutions tailored to treat melasma effectively. One of our advanced treatments is a customised skincare programme that combines potent ingredients such as retinoic acid and hydroquinone, which work synergistically to target and reduce pigmentation. In addition, tranexamic acid has proven highly effective in reducing melasma-related hyperpigmentation. During your consultation, we will analyse and evaluate your skin providing personalised recommendations for an effective topical skincare regimen to address your pigmentation concerns.

ClearLift Laser

The ClearLift Laser, powered by the Alma Harmony XL PRO, is an innovative treatment designed to effectively address melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Unlike other laser treatments that may generate heat, the ClearLift Laser uses an ultra-short pulse duration to precisely target melanin with a photo-acoustic effect, breaking down pigment particles without generating heat. This method reduces the risk of stimulating melasma, making it particularly suitable for individuals with darker skin tones who may be more prone to heat-induced pigmentation such as melasma.

ClearLift targets hyperpigmentation through two key mechanisms:

• Light and Sound Waves: The Q-switched ND-YAG laser delivers high-energy light impulses and acoustic soundwaves, breaking down the excess melanin responsible for dark spots. The fragmented pigment is then naturally cleared by the body’s immune system, helping to reduce the appearance of melasma.
• Cell Turnover: ClearLift stimulates the skin’s natural cell turnover, promoting the replacement of hyperpigmented cells with healthy, fresh ones. This process enhances the overall clarity of the skin, helping to fade areas of discolouration, while promoting a more even skin tone.

At Leicester MediSpa, we offer ClearLift Laser treatments as part of a customised skincare plan tailored to your unique concerns.
