Here at Cascadia Laser we are experts in the treatment of melasma. Melasma creates areas of speckled darker pigment to the sun-exposed areas, usually of the face or neck. This hormonal skin condition is best treated with microneedling with a highly specialized mesotherapy called transexamic acid. Research studies have shown that this is a highly effective treatment for this condition if done with a microneedling technique that penetrates the skin deep enough for the transexamic acid to lighten the melasma.
We recommend a package of three treatments for the best results. These should be separated by at least four weeks. Downtime is limited and consists of a mildly red face the next day, after which you are back to normal. As with our microneedling, there is a topical anesthetic applied to the skin prior to the procedure which makes deep microneedling comfortable.
Pricing:
We charge $399 plus GST per session for melasma treatment to the face, and this includes all costs for topical anesthetic, transexamic acid and the post-procedure kit we send home with you. All of our three session packages get a 15% reduction in price, for a total package price of $999 plus GST.
Additional areas of melasma treament, such as the neck, are $99 each area plus GST.
