Fraxel laser treatment for melasma, particularly at the 1927 nm wavelength, renews the epidermis and therefore removes epidermal pigment. It also acts on the dermis, renewing deeper pigment, which is the most difficult to treat.

    Results

    The results build with each session and improvement increases progressively. After treatment, the skin may appear pink and feel warm; this sensation subsides within a few hours.

    What is Fraxel laser treatment for melasma like?

    The effectiveness of Fraxel laser treatment for melasma has been demonstrated in histological studies of skin biopsies taken from patients with melasma. These show how epidermal and dermal pigment from facial melasma is progressively eliminated through the epidermis.

    Frequently asked questions about Fraxel laser for melasma

    Yes. Anaesthetic cream should be applied one hour before the Fraxel laser session for melasma to minimise possible discomfort.

    Yes. You can wear make-up after a Fraxel laser session for melasma. It is very important to remove it thoroughly afterwards.

    Yes. Normal social activities can be resumed immediately after the session.

    Fraxel fractional laser treatment to remove or reduce melasma is completely safe. It is a therapeutic option supported by extensive research and approved by the FDA and CE. As with any treatment, it should be performed by an experienced medical professional who is familiar with the patient’s medical history.

    Both the risks and side effects are very unlikely and, in any case, minor. We recommend protecting the skin from the sun with a high-factor sunscreen (SPF 50+).

    Around one week after Fraxel laser treatment for melasma, the skin renews and some of the epidermal and dermal pigment is removed, with a noticeable improvement. However, to maintain the result, treatment should be combined with a home protocol of depigmenting creams and the required laser sessions.

    Expected treatment effects may include mild redness, warmth and swelling lasting from a few hours to 2–3 days.

    Mild skin flaking may also occur and can last for up to 3–7 days.

    Fraxel laser treatment for melasma is indicated when you have been assessed by a specialist doctor who has taken your medical history, carried out a physical examination and considers you a suitable candidate.

    It is indicated in most cases. However, the patient’s medical history should always be reviewed and post-laser aftercare instructions followed.
