Melasma is a form of stubborn pigmentation that often appears as patchy brown or gray-brown spots on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or jawline. It’s triggered by hormones, heat, sun exposure, or even stress—and once it shows up, it’s notoriously hard to manage. For many, melasma feels like a constant battle: it fades, then flares again, no matter how careful you are. If you're frustrated by dark patches that seem to return every time you go outside—or feel like you’ve tried everything with little improvement—you’re not alone. And it can get better with the right approach.
At Laser Center, we take a science-backed, personalized approach to melasma—because no two cases are exactly alike. Our experienced providers use a combination of gentle treatments like Clear + Brilliant®, chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare to fade pigment without triggering irritation or rebound. We avoid overly aggressive lasers that can make melasma worse and instead focus on building skin health, barrier strength, and pigment stability over time. With over 20 years of experience, we know how to treat melasma carefully, strategically, and with long-term results in mind.
