Melasma Guide: Real Solutions for Sensitive Skin

Understanding Melasma:

Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition that often flares in the summer and improves in the cooler months. It's frustrating, but not hopeless. At Le Monet Medspa, we take a gentle yet effective approach to treating melasma long-term.

Treating It Gently & Effectively

In-office treatments like microneedling with antioxidant serums (vitamin c) and non-irritating chemical peels can improve melasma without triggering inflammation. It is crucial and often overlooked. Our protocols are built for sensitive skin-non burning, non stinging-just pigment reduction that works.

I recommend Microneedling with brightening agents and antioxidant serums helps fade dark patches, boost collagen, and restore a smooth glow once a month. 

Recommended treatment frequency:

- Summer: Once a month

- Fall-Spring: Every other month

Bonus: These treatments also support fine lines and overall skin health for that coveted glass skin look.

 

Your At-Home Regimen 

A smart, gentle skincare regimen is key. 

- AM: Vitamin C serum (we love SkinByAnthos Vitamin C for its glow + zero irritation), tinted SPF*, and optional hydroquinone (short-term use).

- PM: Prescription or OTC retinoids to gently increase cell turnover and fade pigment over time.

We'll personalize your skincare plan based on your skin's needs. My priority is to find products that actually work without irritating your skin. You don't have to live with melasma or chase miracle products. We're here to guide your skin every step of the way with care, strategy, and results.
