Melasma is a common chronic and recurrent disorder of hyperpigmentation that is caused by over functioning of melanocytes, which are cells that deposit melanin in the first and second layer of the skin. It is particularly common in women of reproductive age and in the areas with high amounts of sun exposure such as the face, arms, neck, and chest. Melasma can be challenging to treat therefore, an appropriate therapy such as the Aerolase Neo Elite (safe for all skin color)and skincare regimen requires a comprehensive assessment.
In order to achieve optimal results, combination therapy of the Aerolase NeoElite Laser (safe for all skin color), and skincare products are recommended such as ZO Skin Health, SkinBetter & Alastin.
