Melasma
Struggling with melasma caused by sun exposure or hormonal changes? PicoWay’s gentle, heat-free technology fades stubborn dark patches safely and effectively. Unlike traditional lasers that generate excess heat, which may worsen melasma, PicoWay uses ultra-short pulses that break pigment into tiny particles without irritating the skin. This makes it a strong treatment option for anyone seeking laser melasma removal with minimal risk. PicoWay helps soften uneven tone and brighten discoloured areas, offering a controlled and predictable approach to skin-brightening treatments. Over a series of sessions, treated areas become clearer, smoother, and more balanced in tone.
Benefits of This Treatment
Gentle, Heat-Free Melasma Management
PicoWay treats melasma without the heavy heat used by many traditional lasers. This is important because excess heat can make melasma flare. By using fast, targeted pulses, noticeable fading can happen with less irritation. This makes it a safe and steady treatment for melasma across different skin types.
Supports Brighter, More Even Skin Tone
As pigment particles break apart and the skin clears them away, melasma patches gradually lighten. This helps create a softer, more even tone over time. Many people choose PicoWay as part of their skin brightening treatments because results build naturally and consistently.
Safe Option for Multiple Skin Types
PicoWay’s precise, controlled energy makes it a good option for people with deeper skin tones who need treatment with lower risk. The approach targets pigment without stressing the surrounding skin, making laser melasma removal more accessible and predictable for a wider range of lifestyles and skin backgrounds.
Minimal Downtime With Easy Aftercare
Most people have mild redness or temporary darkening right after treatment, which fades quickly. You can return to daily routines soon after your session. This makes PicoWay practical for anyone wanting melasma improvement without sacrificing normal activities or recovery time.
Gradual, Natural-Looking Improvement
Melasma responds better to slow, steady progress rather than aggressive treatments. PicoWay supports this approach by delivering controlled energy in short pulses, allowing results to build over several sessions. The outcome looks smooth, subtle, and balanced rather than abrupt or over-treated.

PicoWay is a good choice for melasma if you:
- Have hormonally triggered or sun-related melasma
- Want treatment for melasma without harsh heat exposure
- Prefer a gentle, non-ablative approach
- Want safer laser melasma removal suitable for many skin tones

FAQ's
How does PicoWay treat melasma?
PicoWay uses ultra-short laser pulses to break up excess pigment without generating heat. This reduces the risk of worsening melasma, which can happen with traditional heat-based lasers. It is considered a gentle and effective treatment for melasma, especially for people who want a controlled approach to pigment reduction.
Is PicoWay safe for all skin tones with melasma?
Yes. PicoWay is one of the safest options for melasma, even for darker skin tones, because it targets pigment without relying on high heat. This lowers the risk of hyperpigmentation or irritation and makes it a trustworthy choice for laser melasma removal for multiple skin types.
How many treatments will I need?
Melasma often requires more than one session for the best outcome. Many patients see improvement after 2–3 treatments, though deeper or more stubborn melasma may need 3–5 sessions for a more noticeable result.
How long do results last?
Melasma is a chronic condition, so pigmentation may return with sun exposure, hormones, or heat. With consistent maintenance such as daily SPF, medical-grade skincare, and periodic touch-ups, results from your treatment for melasma can remain long-lasting.
What should I do before and after PicoWay for melasma?
Before treatment:
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks.
- Stay hydrated to support your skin’s recovery.
- Stop using retinoids and exfoliants 3–5 days before treatment.
After treatment:
- Use a medical-grade hydrating cream to support healing.
- Apply SPF 30+ daily, as melasma is easily triggered by UV exposure.
- Avoid saunas, hot yoga, and steam rooms for one week.
- Drink plenty of water to support pigment clearance.
- Reintroduce retinoids and exfoliants only after 5–7 days or when redness settles.
These steps help maintain results and support ongoing skin-brightening treatments.
Does PicoWay completely cure melasma?
There is no permanent cure for melasma, but PicoWay can significantly lighten pigmentation and help keep it controlled. Long-term management with SPF, skincare, and maintenance sessions is essential for stable results.
Can I combine PicoWay with other melasma treatments?
Yes. Many people see stronger outcomes when PicoWay is paired with medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, or prescription topicals such as hydroquinone or tranexamic acid. Our clinic often recommends hydroquinone from ZO Skin Health by Dr. Obagi, depending on your skin needs. Our specialist will analyze your skin and choose the best combination of treatments for your skin since melasma responds differently for everyone.
Who is not a good candidate for PicoWay for melasma?
You may need to avoid PicoWay if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an active skin infection in the treatment area
- Have used Accutane within the last six months
- Have recent significant sun exposure or a fresh tan
