What is melasma?
Melasma, a chronic skin condition, appears in discolored patches or freckle-like spots. It’s caused by the overproduction of melanin—the pigment in your skin, hair, and eyes. While harmless, melasma can make you feel less comfortable in your appearance.
Commonly affected areas:
- Cheeks
- Upper lip
- Forehead
- Forearms
What causes melasma?
The most prevalent causes of melasma are sun exposure and hormone imbalance. That’s why melasma frequently occurs in pregnant women, earning it the nickname “pregnancy mask.”
How Moxi Laser Effectively Treats Melasma
Many laser treatments remove your top layer of skin, evening its texture and tone. Unfortunately, the immense heat and light from the laser causes inflammation, ultimately increasing melanin production. Most times, your melasma then comes back worse than before.
Our Moxi Laser offers a gentler alternative to these aggressive lasers. Using non-ablative laser technology, Moxi works beneath your skin without affecting the surface. Its subtler method makes Moxi safe and effective for all skin tones, ages, and times of year!
We like to pair Moxi Laser with a lightening agent containing tranexamic acid to calm melanin production. These approaches, when used together, make for a powerful melasma treatment.
Benefits of Moxi Beyond Melasma
Moxi Laser not only treats melasma, but also:
- Supports age spot removal.
- Brightens dull or uneven skin tone.
- Gently tightens and refines texture.
- Addresses early signs of sun damage and aging.
