This young woman came to Medical Aesthetics 360° concerned about a patch of melasma that had become increasingly noticeable on her cheek. The pigmentation patch was darker than the rest of her complexion, making it difficult to conceal even with makeup. She worried that without proper management, the area could continue to grow larger and deeper in colour, especially with sun exposure.

During her consultation, Dr Chun-Yen Huang (MED0001187421) recommended a tailored course of PicoNano laser treatments, performed over a series of sessions. This laser technology delivers ultra-short bursts of controlled energy into the skin to gently target pigment particles. Unlike older laser methods. It breaks up pigmentation with minimal heat, making it safer for melasma-prone skin, which also allows for gradual lightening without damaging surrounding tissue. The treatment is gentle yet effective, making it suitable for long-term melasma management.
