FAQsAdvanced cosmetic medical treatments for
melasma skin pigmentation
Are you struggling with dermal melasma and seeking effective treatment options?
Look no further than Shire Aesthetics, where we specialise in innovative solutions for Melasma treatment in Sydney and other pigmentation concerns. Our clinic offers tailored treatments to help you achieve a brighter, more even complexion.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a common chronic skin condition characterised by skin discolouration in the form of brown or grey patches, typically on the face. You can develop melasma at any age, and it is often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics.
Which types of melasma can we treat?
Epidermal Melasma
Located in the top layer of the skin, epidermal melasma appears as brown patches and responds well to topical treatments and superficial peels for effective lightening.
Dermal Melasma
Deeper within the skin, dermal melasma presents as greyish-brown patches and may require more intensive treatments like laser therapy to address pigmentation.
Mixed Melasma
Combining characteristics of both epidermal and dermal melasma, mixed melasma often necessitates a comprehensive treatment approach involving topical agents, peels, and laser procedures for optimal results.
Treatments for Melasma
At Shire Aesthetics, we understand the impact that this skin condition can have and we’re dedicated to providing the best cosmetic medical solutions for treating epidermal, dermal, and mixed melasma. Our advanced treatments are designed to target and reduce the appearance of melasma, restoring a more radiant complexion. Your options for treating melasma include:
Topical Treatments
Prescription creams containing ingredients such as hydroquinone, retinoids, and corticosteroids can help lighten melasma patches over time and are often used as a treatment for melasma symptoms.
Chemical Peels
Chemical skin peels use a proven chemical solution that is applied to the skin to exfoliate dead cells and promote skin renewal, helping to reduce the appearance of melasma and improve skin texture.
Laser Therapy
Laser treatments like Q Switch, fractional laser skin resurfacing and eCO2 laser resurfacing target pigmented areas of the skin, breaking up excess melanin promoting collagen production for a more even skin tone and helping improve skin texture.
Hydrodermabrasion
Hydrodermabrasion is an exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells, helping to fade melasma patches and reveal softer, new skin.
IPL
Intense Pulse Light is a treatment for melasma that effectively targets and breaks down excess pigmentation in melasma, promoting a more even skin tone and reducing the appearance of dark patches.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a skin-needling treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and promote skin renewal, helping to improve the appearance of melasma by reducing pigmentation and evening out skin tone.
Plasma Pen
Plasma Pen therapy delivers targeted heat energy to the skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing melasma pigmentation for a more even complexion.
