NOTICE
Pre & Post-Care Instructions
- Temporary redness and warmth may occur after treatment, usually subsiding within a few hours.
- Applying sunscreen diligently throughout the treatment period is essential to minimize recurrence.
- Because melasma involves multifaceted factors like hormones and UV exposure, ongoing maintenance is recommended even after treatment.
- Treatment outcomes and recovery times may vary by individual. Since all procedures can carry potential side effects, please consult thoroughly with a medical specialist before treatment.
FAQ

How many sessions are needed for melasma treatment?
It varies depending on the depth and extent of pigmentation, but typically 5 to 10 sessions are performed at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks, with adjustments made as progress is monitored.
