Advantages of Ablative Fractional Laser for Melasma: A Comparison

Updated on: 20th April, 2024

Melasma, also known as a mask of pregnancy, is a common skin condition that causes dark and grey patches on the skin due to hormonal fluctuation. Several melasma treatments are available, and ablative fractional laser treatment is among them.

Ablative fractional laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that targets specific areas of the skin affected by melasma. The laser creates tiny, controlled injuries in the epidermis and dermis to trigger the body’s natural healing process and stimulate collagen production. This helps reduce melasma’s appearance and improve overall skin tone and texture. As a result, hyperpigmented cells are released, and the growth of new healthy skin cells is encouraged.

The dermatologists use carefully calibrated light energy pulses to target the affected areas of the skin. The excess melanin in the skin absorbs the energy, causing it to break down and be eliminated naturally by the body. This process promotes the development of new, healthy skin cells, gradually reducing the appearance of melasma. 

If you’re tired of dealing with the persistent and uneven patches of melasma, fractional laser treatment may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Its targeted, non-invasive approach offers numerous advantages over traditional treatments, including minimal downtime, long-lasting results, and customizable options tailored to your unique skin needs. By stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells, ablative fractional laser treatment effectively reduces the appearance of melasma, improving your skin’s overall tone and texture.

Consult with a qualified dermatologist to determine if this innovative treatment is right for you and take the first step towards achieving a clearer, more even complexion.
