MELASMA TREATMENT – FRECKLES & DARK SPOTS REMOVAL
Struggling with melasma, freckles, or dark spots? WeDo's dermatologists treat root causes with medical-grade technology for a brighter, lasting complexion.
How it works
Glowing & Melasma - Harmony Laser XL PRO
Harmony XL PRO laser treatment is one of the most advanced technologies available for melasma treatment. With its high precision and ability to penetrate deep into the epidermis, this method effectively targets and eliminates melanin pigmentation, the root cause of melasma and freckles. Simultaneously, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, more radiant skin. The Harmony XL PRO laser allows for customized treatment settings based on individual skin type and condition, maximizing efficacy while minimizing discomfort and downtime. You'll notice a significant improvement in your skin after just a few sessions.
Strong Texture - Harmony Ultradeep Laser
Harmony Ultradeep Laser offers an advanced approach to melasma treatment by focusing on improving skin's underlying structure. This technology utilizes laser energy to penetrate deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and gradually fading the appearance of brown spots and freckles. With its ability to reach hard-to-treat areas, Harmony Ultradeep Laser is an effective solution for various pigmentation concerns, leaving your skin looking more even-toned, radiant, and youthful. This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking long-term melasma solutions.
Meso Transamin
Meso Transamin is a unique injectable treatment that offers a comprehensive approach to melasma treatment. By targeting the root cause of pigmentation, transamin helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots and promote a brighter, more even complexion. The treatment is not only effective but also comfortable, making it a popular choice for those seeking a long-lasting solution for melasma.
Cosmeceuticals and doctor-prescribed supplements.
A combination approach to melasma treatment often includes cosmeceuticals and doctor-prescribed supplements. These products, enriched with ingredients like vitamin C, E, kojic acid, and arbutin, work to suppress melanin production and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. While these products can be beneficial, it's important to note that individual results may vary and that a comprehensive treatment plan that includes other modalities is often necessary for optimal outcomes.
Microneedling treatment for melasma - pigmentation spots.
Microneedling is a procedure that involves using a device with tiny needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, which can help to fade melasma, reduce the appearance of freckles, and minimize pore size. Additionally, serums and other topical treatments can be more effectively absorbed through these micro-channels, nourishing and rejuvenating the skin.
Chemical peel
Chemical peels are a versatile treatment option for melasma. These procedures involve the controlled application of acids to remove the skin's top layers, revealing healthier skin beneath. By stimulating cell turnover, chemical peels can effectively reduce the appearance of dark spots and improve overall skin texture. The choice of acid and the depth of the peel are customized based on the individual's skin type and the severity of their melasma.
Mesotherapy
As a customized treatment for skin concerns like melasma, mesotherapy involves injecting a tailored blend of nutrients directly into the middle layer of the skin. This stimulates collagen production, improves skin tone, and can effectively fade hyperpigmentation. Mesotherapy offers a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
Laser DYE - VL
As a melasma treatment, Dye-VL offers a precise and effective solution. This intense pulsed light technology selectively targets and breaks down melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots. It is especially well-suited for treating deep-seated melasma that has resisted other treatments.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a popular choice for melasma treatment. This technology works by delivering pulses of light energy that target and break down the excess melanin responsible for dark spots. IPL can also improve skin texture, reduce redness, and stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance.
Cellumar/Photocare light technology
Combining the power of multiple wavelengths, CELLUMAR/PHOTOCARE offers a comprehensive solution for melasma treatment. These technologies work by targeting and breaking down melanin, while simultaneously stimulating collagen production to improve skin texture and tone. The result is a brighter, more radiant complexion.

9 steps, clinically led
Step 1: Comprehensive Skin Assessment Prior to Melasma Treatment
Before starting any melasma treatment, a comprehensive skin assessment is conducted. This involves a detailed examination of the skin to determine the type, severity, and underlying causes of melasma, freckles, and other pigmentation issues. This assessment is crucial as it allows the dermatologist to tailor a treatment plan that is specifically designed to address the individual's unique skin concerns.
Step 2: Personalized melasma treatment plan
Following a thorough evaluation, our dermatologists will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and skin type. As melasma treatment requires an individualized approach, our doctors will carefully consider various factors to determine the most effective course of action. We'll provide you with a comprehensive consultation, outlining the benefits and potential risks of each treatment option, and ensuring that the chosen plan aligns with your budget.
Step 3: Cleansing and exfoliation.
As a preparatory step for melasma treatment, the skin must be meticulously cleansed. This involves removing makeup, dirt, and excess sebum. Exfoliation is then performed to eliminate dead skin cells, creating an optimal canvas for the treatment to work its magic. This pre-treatment routine is vital for maximizing the results of the melasma treatment.
Step 4: Thoroughly clean and sterilize all medical instruments before starting the melasma treatment procedure.
At WEDO, patient safety is our top priority. Before any melasma treatment, we ensure that all medical instruments undergo rigorous sterilization processes. Our hygiene protocols adhere to the highest international medical standards, minimizing the risk of infection or adverse reactions during treatment.
Step 5: Proceed with advanced treatments for melasma, freckles, and sunspots
Each melasma treatment is tailored to the individual patient. After a thorough consultation, a personalized treatment plan is developed. The procedure itself is comfortable and efficient, often taking between 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, the dermatologist will use advanced techniques to target the melasma.
Step 6: Iontophoresis for post-treatment hydration and skin rejuvenation.
Post-treatment care is an essential component of any melasma treatment. Following the procedure, the skin will be treated with specialized products designed to hydrate, soothe, and repair the treated area. This aftercare ensures optimal healing and helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier, leaving it feeling soft and supple.
Step 7: Complete your skincare routine with a hydrating serum and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
An important step in melasma treatment is applying specialized serums or creams to nourish the skin. Additionally, consistent use of sunscreen is crucial to protect the skin from the sun's harmful rays, which can exacerbate melasma and cause freckles to reappear.
Step 8: Post-Treatment Care Instructions
After the melasma treatment, patients receive detailed aftercare instructions from their doctor. To ensure optimal results, the clinic provides an online community where patients can connect with their doctor and treatment coordinator. This platform facilitates regular follow-ups and allows for personalized skincare advice
Step 9: Follow check-up as planned
Following a melasma treatment, regular follow-up appointments are crucial. These visits allow your dermatologist to monitor your skin's healing process and assess the treatment's effectiveness. If necessary, your treatment plan may be adjusted or complemented with additional therapies to optimize results. This ensures you receive the highest quality care and achieve your desired outcome.
Make results last
A balanced diet
A healthy diet plays a crucial role in overall well-being, especially for skin health. To improve melasma, it’s essential to provide your body with the necessary nutrients.
Miracle foods for melasma treatment:
- Leafy green vegetables and fruits: Rich in vitamin C, these foods boost collagen production, aid in skin cell regeneration, and help fade dark spots.
- Whole grains: Providing fiber and B vitamins, they stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation, thereby improving skin conditions.
- Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, and cashews are packed with vitamin E, which protects the skin from free radical damage.
Foods to avoid after melasma treatment:
- Sugar: Excessive sugar consumption can increase insulin production, stimulate melanin production, and worsen melasma.
- Processed foods: Fried foods, fast food, and processed snacks are high in unhealthy fats and preservatives that can harm the skin.
- Dairy products: Some individuals may be lactose intolerant, which can cause inflammation and exacerbate melasma.
Sun protection for the skin.
Sun exposure is a major contributing factor to melasma. Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial in managing this condition. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and limit your sun exposure, especially during peak hours. Additionally, consider using protective accessories such as hats, masks, and sunglasses to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.

Maintain a consistent daily skincare routine.
A comprehensive melasma treatment plan includes post-care routines. Using brightening serums or creams with ingredients like vitamin C and Niacinamide can help maintain even skin tone and prevent dark spots from returning.
Additionally, gentle moisturization is crucial for post-treatment skin. Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic moisturizers, often containing hyaluronic acid, can hydrate without irritating sensitive skin.
Remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day for optimal skin health.
Avoid products with strong bleaching agents.
Avoid using products containing AHA/BHA or retinol for a few weeks after your melasma treatment. These ingredients can increase skin sensitivity and irritation. Additionally, refrain from using physical or chemical exfoliants for at least a week to allow your skin to fully recover.
