Advanced Melasma Treatment Protocol

by Ideal Body Clinic

Melasma can be a challenging condition to treat, but with a strategic combination of in-clinic treatments and medical-grade home care, you can achieve noticeable, long-lasting results. Here’s a step-by-step protocol to address melasma effectively and safely:

1. Monthly Laser Combination

Achieve optimal results by combining two in one session:

  • Step 1: Laser Genesis
    Prepares the skin by:

    • Calming inflammation
    • Improving circulation
    • Stimulating collagen production

  • Step 2: Pico Genesis (Melasma Setting)
    Targets pigmentation at the dermal level without damaging the skin’s surface.

Important: Both lasers should be performed on the same day for maximum efficacy.
Frequency: Once every 4 weeks.

2. Chemical Peels (Between Laser Sessions)

Alternate your laser treatments with monthly chemical peels to exfoliate the skin and enhance pigment-reducing agent absorption. Choose the right peel for your skin type and needs:

  • BioRePeel – Regenerative and suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Salicylic Acid Peel – Ideal for oily, acne-prone skin.
  • Jessner Peel – Moderate-depth peel for stubborn pigmentation.
  • Glycolic Acid Peel – Gentle resurfacing and brightening.
  • TCA Peel (low strength) – For deeper pigment and resistant melasma cases (supervised application only).

3. Medical-Grade Home Care

Consistency in your home care routine is crucial for maintaining results.

  • Morning Routine:

    • Hydroquinone (2–4%) to suppress melanin production.
    • Vitamin C serum for antioxidant protection.
    • Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen (mandatory; reapply every 2–3 hours).

  • Evening Routine:

    • Retinol (0.5–1%) to promote cell turnover.
    • Hydrating moisturizer (optional, if dryness occurs).

Key Notes for Success

  • Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable: Avoid sun exposure entirely. Wear hats and stay cool to minimize heat-induced pigmentation.
  • Gentle Skincare: Use mild cleansers and avoid scrubbing.
  • Ongoing Maintenance: Even after visible improvement, melasma requires regular upkeep to prevent recurrence.

With this advanced melasma treatment protocol, you can achieve healthier, brighter skin while effectively managing pigmentation. Remember, consistency and expert guidance are your best allies in this journey!
