Melasma is a common skin condition that causes patches of darker pigmentation, most often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. It’s frequently triggered or worsened by:
- Sun exposure
- Hormonal changes, including pregnancy and birth control use
- Genetics
- Certain medications
Because melasma is influenced by multiple internal and external factors, it often requires an individualized treatment approach rather than a single quick fix.

How Does PICOFY Help Treat Melasma?
PICOFY’s picosecond technology delivers energy in extremely short pulses, which is designed to target pigment in the skin with a gentler thermal effect compared to some older laser technologies. This approach may help:
- Break down excess pigment associated with melasma
- Support a more even skin tone over a series of treatments
- Minimize excess heat that can sometimes aggravate melasma-prone skin
Because melasma can be sensitive to heat and irritation, your provider will customize your Melasma Laser Treatment settings and plan to your skin type and condition.
What to Expect From Melasma Treatment
Melasma treatment is rarely a single-session process. Your provider will likely recommend:
- An initial consultation to evaluate your melasma and skin type
- A personalized treatment plan, which may include a series of laser sessions
- Skincare recommendations to support your results between visits
- Diligent sun protection, since UV exposure is one of the most common melasma triggers

What to Expect During and After Treatment

- Gradual lightening over the following weeks
Consistent sun protection after treatment is essential to help prevent melasma from returning or worsening.
