What Is Laser Melasma Treatment?
Melasma causes dark, uneven patches that commonly appear on the face and forearms. These marks often develop symmetrically on the forehead, nose, lips, and cheeks. This condition is particularly prevalent among women who are pregnant, menopausal, or spend a lot of time in the sun. At Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness in Burnsville, MN, we offer an effective solution with the Harmony® XL PRO laser system by Alma. This advanced treatment targets and breaks down unwanted pigmentation while stimulating collagen production, resulting in a clearer and more even skin tone. If melasma is affecting your confidence, contact us to learn more about our laser treatment options.
How Does Laser Melasma Treatment Work?
Your laser melasma treatment starts with a thorough consultation and skin assessment. To ensure your comfort, we apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure. The Harmony XL PRO handpiece is then gently moved over the affected areas, emitting precise laser energy to break down the pigmentation. The body naturally absorbs and eliminates these broken-down pigments. Many patients notice significant improvements after just one session, though multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results. During your consultation, we will discuss the number of sessions required and the expected timeline for achieving the best outcome.

Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness Reviews
I have had 2 separate services at this clinic. My first was 4 years ago with Dr. B, I had Lipo360, BBL and Jplasma. I still LOVE my results from that surgery. Dr. B gave me the curves that genetics don’t and the gym couldn’t.Presently I received lip fillers with Anai and she was WONDERFUL to work with. Very informative, super sweet and made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole experience. I am one week out from my lip appointment and they are settling so nice. I’ll definitely keep them in my contacts for future aesthetic work
I had Lipo 360 with Dr. Balgobin and could not be happier with my results. I previously had a tummy tuck with a different doctor and was very unhappy with the bulging in my upper abdomen afterward. Dr. B completely fixed that and then some, my stomach is now smooth, flat, and looks the way it should have from the beginning.I am only 3.5 weeks post-op and already extremely happy with my results. I can’t wait to see how everything looks once I’m fully healed.His entire staff has been amazing throughout the process. Katy made scheduling so easy from the very beginning, Dani was incredible with answering all of my pre-op questions and making me feel prepared, and Anai has taken amazing care of me throughout post-op. Every office visit has been thorough, professional, and supportive.I highly recommend Dr. Balgobin. He is truly talented, knows exactly how to shape a woman’s body, and delivers beautiful results. I’m beyond grateful to him and his team!
I sought out Dr. Balgobin after experiencing complications from a previous procedure, and I’m so thankful I did. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to address all of my concerns in detail.What stood out most was his level of care—not just during the procedure, but afterward as well. He remained available to answer questions and ensured I felt supported throughout my recovery.Dominique, was equally compassionate and attentive. Their professionalism and genuine care made a stressful situation much easier.I would highly recommend Dr. Balgobin to anyone, especially those needing corrective work.Thank you Dr. BalgobinLT
Nurse Anai is amazing - go see her asap! I visited for my botox and some recommendations on filler. She listened, was very attentive and offered great expert advise on facial balancing. My results are beautiful! I loved that she was also bilingual ❤️ and look forward to seeing her again!
Dr Arijai is very professional and informative. What I like about him is that he is honest and is not trying to just make a sale and really informs you so you can make the best decision for you.

Am I a candidate for laser melasma treatment?
Melasma can be one of the more stubborn forms of pigmentation, often influenced by hormones, sun exposure, and genetics. Laser treatment offers a targeted way to break up excess pigment and improve overall skin tone. Our team customizes your approach to help reduce discoloration while protecting the surrounding skin. Generally speaking, you may be a candidate for laser melasma treatment if you are dealing with:
- Dark patches
- Uneven tone
- Sun damage
- Hormonal pigmentation
- Stubborn discoloration
These types of pigmentation often do not respond fully to topical treatments alone and may benefit from a more advanced approach.
Laser Melasma Treatment FAQ
How many laser treatments are needed for melasma?
The number of laser treatments for melasma can vary based on the severity of the pigmentation and your skin's response. Many clients see visible improvement after a few sessions, but a customized plan may involve several treatments to achieve the best results. During your consultation, we'll discuss your skin goals and map out a treatment plan that supports lasting clarity.
Do laser skin treatments hurt?
Laser skin treatments are generally well-tolerated, though you may feel a mild warming sensation or light snapping on the skin. We use cooling techniques during laser skin treatments at Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness to keep you comfortable and minimize any discomfort. Most clients find the experience easy to manage, and we're always here to ensure you're as relaxed as possible throughout your session.
Can melasma come back after laser treatment?
While laser treatments can significantly reduce melasma, it may return due to factors like sun exposure and hormonal changes. To help maintain your results, we recommend a tailored skin care plan and sun protection as part of your routine. With these precautions, you can enjoy a more even complexion for longer.
