Melasma Laser Facial

What Does a Melasma Laser Facial Aim to Achieve?
This facial treatment uses lasers to target melanin, the pigment responsible for melasma's dark patches. The laser beams break down melanin clusters, allowing the body to naturally clear them away, resulting in a brighter, more even complexion.

What Results Can You Expect?
Studies, including one in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, have shown that Melasma Laser Facials can significantly reduce the appearance of melasma in as few as four sessions. Patients can expect a gradual lightening of hyperpigmentation, with the most noticeable results appearing within 8-12 weeks.
What to Expect During Your Melasma Laser Facial
At our Bondi Junction clinic, we prioritise patient comfort. A topical anaesthetic ensures minimal discomfort during the 15–30-minute procedure. You may experience slight warmth or tingling, but our experienced team will guide you through the process. Nitrous oxide, or "happy gas," is also available for additional comfort.

Downtime and Aftercare
Melasma Laser Facials require minimal downtime. While some mild redness or peeling may occur, most patients can resume their regular activities immediately. To optimise your results, BBD will provide a personalised aftercare plan, including sun protection and skincare recommendations.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions needed varies based on the severity of your melasma. Typically, 2-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended. Ongoing maintenance treatments are recommended. BBD's expert team will customise a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.

When Will I See the Results?
Some lightening may be visible within a week, with noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks. Consistency in laser sessions and aftercare is crucial for achieving and maintaining long-lasting results. We also prescribe specific and individually tailored topical creams to our melasma patients which work synergistically with our lasers to optimise the results.

How Long Do the Results Last?
With proper sun protection and maintenance, the results of your Melasma Laser Facial can last for years. BBD offers ongoing support and personalised skincare plans to help you maintain your results.
