Diagnosis confirmation
Not every brown patch is melasma; diagnosis comes first.
LASER • MELASMA • PIGMENT
Careful laser or energy-based planning for selected melasma cases, with strict attention to recurrence and pigment risk.
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Melasma is influenced by light exposure, hormones, skin biology and inflammation. Topical treatment and consistent photoprotection are usually central to management, while devices may be considered selectively.
Your concern, relevant history and treatment goals are reviewed before suitability is discussed.
The treatment pathway is adapted to your assessment, priorities and realistic goals rather than a fixed protocol.
Technique, intensity and treatment details are selected conservatively according to the service and your individual needs.
Aftercare and follow-up are used to assess response, support recovery and decide whether further treatment is appropriate.
TREATMENT FOCUS
Treatment planning focuses on the factors most relevant to this service, your diagnosis or concern, and safe, realistic outcomes.
Not every brown patch is melasma; diagnosis comes first.
Device choice and settings consider skin tone and the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Sun and visible-light protection plus home care are essential because recurrence is common.
Sun protection, trigger control and long-term pigment management remain essential around any laser-based plan.
IN MORE DETAIL
Because heat or irritation can worsen pigmentation in some patients, any laser plan should be conservative and integrated with a broader pigment-management strategy.
At Lumera Derm, treatment choice follows assessment. The aim is to match the option to the concern, skin or scalp condition, medical history and realistic goals rather than treating a service name as a one-size-fits-all solution.
YOUR VISIT
Each service follows the same principle: assess first, explain options clearly, then treat only when appropriate.
Discuss the concern, goals, relevant history and any previous treatment.
Confirm suitability, risks, alternatives and whether another pathway would be more appropriate.
Agree on a conservative, personalised plan with realistic expectations.
Follow-up is used to assess response and decide whether any further treatment is worthwhile.
SAFETY & SUITABILITY
Laser can worsen melasma or trigger post-inflammatory pigmentation in some skin types. It should be used selectively rather than marketed as a guaranteed cure.
