How is melasma treated?

Lighten gently, prevent rebound.

Melasma is a chronic, hormone- and sun-sensitive pigment that worsens if treated too aggressively. At Gounsesang we manage it with gentle laser toning over a series, combined with prescriptions, sun protection and home care, rather than forcing it in one course. A board-certified director confirms it is melasma (not another pigment) with imaging first, because the wrong laser makes melasma rebound. The goal is steady, lasting lightening with a protected skin barrier.

Our philosophy

Since 1984, we have believed the same truth: diagnosis first, then the gentlest treatment that works.
