PICO - Melasma Management
Advanced picosecond laser technology supporting comprehensive melasma management and long-term skin clarity.
Melasma Management & Pigment Regulation
Melasma is a complex pigment condition influenced by multiple factors including sun exposure, hormonal activity, inflammation and genetic predisposition.
PICO Melasma Management utilises advanced picosecond laser technology as part of a broader treatment strategy designed to support pigment reduction, improve skin clarity and assist long-term melasma control.
Because melasma often requires ongoing management rather than a single intervention, treatment recommendations are guided by comprehensive assessment, skin analysis and consideration of contributing factors unique to each individual.

PICO LASER Melasma Management FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Melasma is a chronic pigment condition characterised by patches of increased pigmentation, most commonly affecting the face. It is often influenced by hormonal factors, sun exposure, heat, inflammation and genetic predisposition.
Unlike many forms of sun-related pigmentation, melasma is a complex chronic condition with a tendency to recur. Successful management typically requires a comprehensive approach rather than a single treatment.
PICO technology delivers ultra-short laser pulses designed to target pigment whilst minimising unnecessary thermal injury. At Aestheté, laser treatment is incorporated within broader melasma management pathways tailored to the individual.
Melasma is generally considered a chronic condition. Whilst significant improvement may be achieved, ongoing management is often required to maintain results and minimise recurrence.
Melasma may be reactivated by factors including ultraviolet exposure, heat, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation and individual genetic predisposition. Long-term management strategies play an important role in maintaining results.
Treatment recommendations vary according to the severity of pigmentation, previous treatment history and individual objectives. A personalised treatment plan will be developed following consultation and assessment.
Most patients experience minimal downtime. Temporary redness or mild pigment darkening may occur before gradual improvement becomes visible.
Suitability varies according to skin type, pigment characteristics and treatment history. Consultation and assessment are essential to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Melasma requires a comprehensive and long-term approach. Aestheté combines advanced assessment, diagnostic imaging, prescription skincare, laser technologies and preventative strategies to develop highly personalised management programs designed around the individual.
Laser treatments are generally not recommended during pregnancy. Usually during pregnancy is when melasma flairs so it not until post birth, laser treatment would commence. Alternative management strategies may be discussed where appropriate.
