Melasma is a skin condition that produces dense freckles or unusual blotches. It is caused by an overproduction of melanocytes and is usually found in women. The leading causes are pregnancy and sun exposure. Melanocytes are pigmentation cells and are not affected by microdermabrasion. Some laser treatments can worsen the condition because they will cause the cells to produce even more pigmentation. Still, laser treatment can be safe and beneficial with the help of the right Ottawa skin clinic.
Managing your melasma.
You can manage the condition by avoiding the sun. The UV rays of the sun stimulate the production of the pigment. Individuals with darker skin are more prone to this occurrence. Even small amounts of UV can trigger a return. Use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen that provides SPF protection of 15 or greater will really help.
Sometimes melasma will fade on its own. This often happens if it is triggered by pregnancy. However, if the condition persists, you can try skin care products, chemical peels, and Spectra laser toning.
Advantages of Spectra Laser for melasma.
The primary factor in Spectra laser’s success is its carbon facial mask. This is designed to allow carbon particles to enter the pores. The carbon dissolves and dislodges debris, and dead skin as the laser warms the area. The melanocytes loosen and separate and will naturally disappear.
There is no pain associated with this procedure. You can come to our Ottawa skincare clinic and have the procedure. You can then go home without any follow-up or recovery period.
Laser toning also has additional benefits. It can reduce acne scars, improve fine wrinkles, and leave you with smooth skin texture.
