Fractional Resurfacing Offers Great Results for Melasma

If you live with melasma; excess pigmentation of the face, most commonly on the malar area (the upper cheek), bridge of nose, forehead, and upper lip, that occurs in half of women during pregnancy then you know the aggravation of trying to cover the pigment up with make-up, and with topical treatments that are ineffective. Now, fractional skin resurfacing with the Palomar 1540 makes huge long-lasting improvements for clients with Melasma.

A recent study was done at the Aesthetica Cosmetic and Laser Surgery Center to determine the efficacy of the Star Lux 1540 in treating melasma, both short and long term. In the study 6 patients were evaluated and assessed with the Wood’s light to classify melasma as epidermal, dermal, or mixed. Each patient had before and after pictures taken and was treated with the 1540 hand-piece every 3 weeks for 3 to four treatments. The results proved that the pigmentation was significantly lightened, and all patients showed an average of a 50% improvement of their melasma pigment and the improvement was long lasting over the follow-up in months to com.
