Melasma pigmentation

Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Vaughan

Melasma is chronic and hormone-driven; post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation responds to a different protocol. Lumecca IPL for vascular and pigment lesions, AlumierMD's brightening stack between sessions, and a careful Fitzpatrick-aware assessment up front. No one-size protocol.

Common Causes of Melasma Pigmentation

Where the concern starts.

Pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and hormonal therapies are the most common triggers for melasma. Oestrogen stimulates melanocytes to produce excess pigment, particularly in the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. The hormonal component makes melasma more resistant to treatment than other pigmentation types.

How We Treat It

How We Treat Hyperpigmentation

Melasma Pigmentation rarely comes from one structure. We coordinate across two treatments — the right combination depends on your case. Lumecca by InMode delivers broad-spectrum intense pulsed light that targets melanin in the skin. It is highly effective for sun-induced dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For melasma, Lumecca uses progressive energy settings calibrated to the specific pigmentation depth and skin tone. Treatment without proper assessment carries a risk of worsening certain melasma presentations. At Essential Health Clinic, Crystal Tait confirms the pigmentation type and builds the protocol before any light is applied.

Medical-Grade Facials for hyperpigmentation

Medical-Grade Facials

Medical-grade facials using brightening and barrier-supporting active ingredients complement IPL treatment. Formulations with vitamin C, niacinamide, and gentle acids address surface pigmentation and support an even tone between IPL sessions. Facials help manage the ongoing nature of melasma as part of a longer treatment plan.
