Melasma | Blemishes | Freckles

We look at the type and depth of pigmentation first, then tailor our approach.

About Melasma | Blemishes | Freckles

Melasma, blemishes and freckles are all brown pigmentation concerns, but they are pigments with different causes and depths. Melasma often spreads broadly under the influence of hormones and UV exposure, while blemishes and freckles appear as small spots with relatively clear borders.

For this reason, a combination tailored to the pigment type matters more than a single laser. Widespread melasma and tone are treated with PicoSure, RevLite SI and LUCAS toning, distinct blemishes and freckles with PicoSure Zoom Pass and Focus, and melasma injections and brightening care can be added when needed.

At 3Leaf Clover Clinic, we check pigment distribution and skin sensitivity through Meta-View skin analysis and a consultation with the doctor before designing your laser and care plan. Pigmentation can recur, so consistent care is needed. Results may vary from person to person.

Precautions

Before & After Care

For satisfying results, please review the following.

During pigmentation treatment, please reapply sunscreen frequently.

Pigmentation may temporarily look darker or redness may appear after treatment, and this usually fades gradually.

Do not pick the fine scabs that form on treated blemishes; let them fall off naturally.

For 2–3 days after treatment, please avoid irritating products such as exfoliants and retinol.

If you are also having melasma injections, please let us know in advance about any medications you take or any history of blood clots.

A prior consultation is required if you are pregnant or taking photosensitizing medication.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Are melasma and blemishes treated differently?

Melasma is often widespread and sensitive to irritation, so it is mainly treated with toning, while blemishes and freckles with clear borders receive focused treatment with PicoSure Zoom Pass, Focus and similar. We will explain the exact plan after diagnosis.

Q. Which lasers will I receive?

We combine lasers such as PicoSure, RevLite SI, LUCAS dual toning and CosJET Genesis according to your pigment type and skin sensitivity. When needed, several lasers may be alternated week by week.

Q. Do I have to get melasma injections?

No. They are not required; when melasma lesions are distinct, they are an option combined with laser treatment and decided after consultation.

Q. How many sessions do I need?

Plans are usually based on around 5–10 sessions at 1–2 week intervals, but the number may vary with the type and depth of pigmentation and how your skin responds.

Q. Can melasma come back after treatment?

Melasma is a type of pigmentation that can recur due to hormones, UV exposure and other factors. Sun protection and regular maintenance care are helpful even after treatment.

Q. Can I wear makeup after treatment?

With toning, light makeup is usually possible from the same day. Please avoid irritating areas where scabs have formed after blemish removal until they fall off.
