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.

The entire process was smooth, organized, and stress free.Dr. Balgobin, Nurse Anai, and Brooke were absolutely the best. They took the time to answer all of my questions, made me feel comfortable every step of the way, and truly went above and beyond with their care.Dr. Balgobin did an outstanding job, and I could not be happier with my results. He is incredibly skilled, pays great attention to detail, and truly knows what he’s doing.

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.
