Melasma can leave its mark at any point in our lives. These irregular patches of darkened skin may appear on the face, forearms, and neck. These tan, gray, or brown patches generally are found around the brow, cheeks, nose, chin, or upper lip. Melasma occurs more frequently among women with darker skin tones and may be caused by UV exposure or hormones, like those that accompany pregnancy and menopause. Aesthetics of Central Texas offers effective, nonsurgical treatments with Harmony XL PRO laser technology from Alma. This minimally invasive treatment works through targeted laser energy to help lessen the appearance of pigmented patches that are related to melasma. It can be used on all skin types.
