Melasma Program

A maintenance program for Melasma Program — lighten it, then hold it.

What is Melasma Program?
Melasma Program is a chronic, relapsing pigment condition driven by hormones, sun and heat. It is managed over time rather than finished in a course — the honest goal is to lighten the patch and hold it lighter, which requires maintenance and daily sun protection. The clinic's Melasma Program protocol combines prescribed topical treatment with low-fluence laser toning and a written home routine.

Melasma Program sits deeper and behaves differently from freckles or sun spots, and it punishes aggressive treatment: high-energy laser can rebound it darker. The program is deliberately gradual — prescribed topical therapy does most of the work, low-fluence laser toning is added where the physician judges it useful, and sun protection is treated as part of the treatment rather than advice given at the door.

Authenticity & Provenance

Where it comes from, what's inside, who certifies it.

Halal-compatible

The laser component is energy-based — no substance enters the body. Prescribed topicals are reviewed at consultation and the product used can be confirmed on the day. This reflects the ingredients used, not a halal certification.

Lot-number shown to patient
Yes — every vial, before injection
Who it's for
  • Melasma Program on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip
  • Pigment that has returned after previous laser treatment
  • Patients who want a maintenance plan rather than a one-off session
  • Skin that reacts badly to aggressive laser settings
Your treatment, step by step
  1. 01
    Assessment

    Wood's lamp or clinical assessment of depth, plus a history of triggers — pregnancy, contraception, heat exposure and any previous laser that made it worse.

  2. 02
    Topical phase

    Prescribed topical therapy started and titrated. This does most of the work; the laser is an adjunct, not the main event.

  3. 03
    Low-fluence toning

    Added where the physician judges it useful, at deliberately low energy. Melasma Program can rebound darker under high-energy settings.

  4. 04
    Maintenance

    Daily broad-spectrum sun protection plus a review interval. Stopping maintenance is the usual reason Melasma Program returns.

Preparation and aftercare for Melasma Program

Research-informed guidance for this treatment type. Your doctor’s written plan after assessment always takes priority.

Before your appointment

  • Tell the clinician about recent tanning, sun exposure, cold sores, keloid tendency, active infection, pigment changes after injury, medicines or products that increase light sensitivity, and prior laser or isotretinoin use.
  • Use sun protection before treatment and do not change prescribed medicine without clinician advice.

After treatment

  • Use the cleanser, moisturiser or wound product in the written plan and protect the area from sun.
  • Do not pick crusts, scrub, exfoliate or restart retinoids/acids until the clinician's advised time.
  • Use only the cooling method and makeup timing supplied for the exact laser settings.

What may be expected

  • Redness, warmth, swelling, darkening or light crusting may occur depending on the laser and settings.

Contact us promptly

  • Contact the clinic for blistering, increasing pain, spreading redness, drainage, fever, a cold-sore outbreak, scarring or marked pigment change.

1:1 follow-up

Before you leave, the team records your treatment, expected recovery, follow-up timing and direct contact path. A doctor reviews concerns when needed.

Benefits
  • Gradual lightening without the rebound risk of high-energy settings
  • Prescribed topical therapy reviewed at each visit
  • Written home routine, not verbal instructions
  • Combines with Pico Laser Program toning when the physician judges it useful
  • Maintenance schedule set from the start, not improvised later

What to expect

Gradual. Most patients see change over a course of sessions rather than after one. Melasma Program recurs if maintenance and sun protection stop — that is the nature of the condition, not a failure of the treatment.

Individual results vary. Outcomes depend on age, skin type, anatomy, lifestyle and adherence to aftercare. All procedures carry risk; detailed risk information is reviewed during consultation and signed informed consent is obtained before any treatment.

Before you choose a clinic

A consultation is for deciding, not committing

Bring your goals, medical history, medicines and previous procedures. Ask for plain-language answers and take time to consider them before giving informed consent.

Common questions
Does Melasma Program come back?+
Yes — Melasma Program is chronic and relapsing. It can be lightened substantially and held lighter, but it is a condition you manage rather than finish. Plan for maintenance. A clinic promising otherwise is describing something this condition does not do.
Will laser make my Melasma Program worse?+
It can, at the wrong settings. High-energy pigment laser on Melasma Program is a known cause of rebound darkening and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly on Asian and Middle Eastern skin. That is why this program uses low-fluence toning as an adjunct rather than leading with the laser.
How is this different from just booking Pico Laser Program?+
Pico Laser Program is one tool. This program is the topical therapy, the sun-protection routine and the review schedule around it. Melasma Program treated with laser alone and no maintenance typically comes back.
Is the Melasma Program halal-friendly?+
The laser component is energy-based — nothing enters the body, so there is no ingredient question. Prescribed topicals are reviewed with you at consultation and the specific product used can be confirmed on the day. This reflects the ingredients used, not a halal certification.
What happens during a Melasma Program session?+
Assessment — Wood's lamp or clinical assessment of depth, plus a history of triggers — pregnancy, contraception, heat exposure and any previous laser that made it worse. Topical phase — Prescribed topical therapy started and titrated. This does most of the work; the laser is an adjunct, not the main event. Low-fluence toning — Added where the physician judges it useful, at deliberately low energy. Melasma Program can rebound darker under high-energy settings. Maintenance — Daily broad-spectrum sun protection plus a review interval. Stopping maintenance is the usual reason Melasma Program returns. A physician assesses your face first and sets the plan; what is done and where follows from that assessment.
Who is a good candidate for Melasma Program?+
Generally considered for: Melasma Program on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip · Pigment that has returned after previous laser treatment · Patients who want a maintenance plan rather than a one-off session · Skin that reacts badly to aggressive laser settings. Whether it suits you is decided by a physician at assessment, and there are people for whom it is not advised.
7 more questions+
Does Melasma Program hurt?+
Anaesthesia for this treatment: None or topical. A session runs about 20–30 minutes per session. How much a person feels varies, and anything that concerns you is worth raising at assessment.
What is the recovery like after Melasma Program?+
Downtime: None to minimal. That is the general case rather than a promise about you; ask your physician before planning anything that depends on the date.
How soon will I see results from Melasma Program?+
Gradual. Most patients see change over a course of sessions rather than after one. Melasma Program recurs if maintenance and sun protection stop — that is the nature of the condition, not a failure of the treatment. Timing and how much changes differ from person to person.
How much does Melasma Program cost?+
From ฿3,998 / session · pigment laser priced separately from ฿4,500. That is a starting price; what a treatment actually costs depends on how much is used and on the plan a physician sets at assessment.
Do you run promotions or discounts on Melasma Program?+
The prices published here are the clinic's standard prices. What a treatment actually costs depends on how much is used and on the plan a physician sets at assessment, rather than on a promotional rate.
How long does a Melasma Program session take?+
About 20–30 minutes per session for the treatment itself, not counting the assessment and skin preparation beforehand.
What are the side effects of Melasma Program, and when should I contact the clinic?+
Redness, warmth, swelling, darkening or light crusting may occur depending on the laser and settings. Contact the clinic for blistering, increasing pain, spreading redness, drainage, fever, a cold-sore outbreak, scarring or marked pigment change. Before you leave, the team gives you your expected recovery, follow-up timing and a direct contact path.
