What is Melasma?
Melasma is one of the most common forms of facial pigmentation. It presents as patchy, uneven brown or grey-brown discolouration, most frequently affecting the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and sometimes the chin.
Melasma develops as a result of excess melanin production and is typically influenced by a combination of internal and external factors, including:
- Hormonal changes such as pregnancy, oral contraceptives or menopause
- Ultraviolet (UV) sun exposure
- Genetic predisposition
- Inflammation or previous skin trauma
Melasma is particularly common during pregnancy and is often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy”. Symptoms can worsen during the summer months, as UV exposure stimulates further pigment production.
Advanced Melasma Treatment with Fractional Laser
At Pulse Light Clinic London, melasma is treated using advanced fractional laser treatment, selected specifically for its safety and effectiveness in managing this complex pigmentation condition.
Melasma requires a cautious, medically informed approach. For this reason, we do not use IPL or broadband light technologies for melasma, as these can increase the risk of inflammation and rebound pigmentation in susceptible skin types.
This laser treatment works by delivering controlled fractional laser energy into the skin, creating microscopic channels that stimulate gentle skin renewal and target excess melanin without damaging the skin’s surface. This process helps to improve uneven pigmentation, enhance skin tone and support long-term skin health.
This treatment is non-ablative, non-surgical and associated with minimal downtime when performed by trained medical professionals.
Benefits of Fractional Laser Treatment for Melasma
- Safely reduces the appearance of melasma and uneven pigmentation
- Minimises the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Improves overall skin tone, texture and radiance
- Stimulates natural skin regeneration
- Minimal downtime with gradual, natural-looking results
Personalised Melasma Treatment Plans
Melasma is a chronic condition and no two cases are the same. Every treatment plan at Pulse Light Clinic is individually tailored following a detailed consultation and skin assessment.
Our experienced clinicians assess your skin type, melasma pattern, pigmentation depth and medical history to determine suitability for laser treatment and to design a personalised treatment programme. Treatment courses are often combined with professional skincare advice and strict sun protection to optimise results and reduce recurrence.
While melasma can be effectively managed, hormonal or environmental triggers may cause pigmentation to return over time. Long-term maintenance and aftercare guidance form an essential part of your treatment plan.

Melasma Treatment FAQs
What is the best treatment for melasma?
The best treatment for melasma depends on the individual’s skin type, depth of pigmentation and underlying triggers such as hormones and sun exposure. At Pulse Light Clinic, melasma is treated using advanced fractional laser treatment designed to manage pigmentation safely while minimising inflammation and the risk of worsening pigmentation.
How does laser treatment work for melasma?
Fractional laser treatment creates microscopic channels in the skin that stimulate gentle skin renewal and help target excess melanin while preserving the skin’s surface. This process supports improved pigmentation, a more even skin tone and healthier overall skin quality.
Can melasma be permanently removed?
Melasma is a chronic condition and cannot always be permanently removed. However, it can be effectively managed and significantly improved with the right treatment approach. Laser treatment helps reduce visible pigmentation and improve skin quality, while ongoing sun protection and maintenance treatments help minimise recurrence.
How many sessions are needed for melasma treatment?
Most patients require a course of treatments, typically between 3 and 6 sessions spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on the severity of the melasma, pigmentation depth and individual skin response. Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.
Does melasma treatment hurt?
Laser treatment is generally well tolerated. Patients often describe a mild warming or tingling sensation during treatment. Any discomfort is temporary and downtime is minimal.
Is laser treatment safe for all skin types?
Fractional laser treatment can be suitable for a wide range of skin types when performed by trained medical professionals. A detailed consultation and skin assessment are always carried out beforehand to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for your skin.
What downtime should I expect after laser treatment?
Most patients experience mild redness and a slightly rough skin texture for a few days after treatment. This usually settles quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities soon afterwards. Your clinician will provide full aftercare advice.
Will melasma come back after treatment?
Melasma can recur due to hormonal changes or sun exposure. Following your aftercare plan, using daily broad-spectrum sun protection and attending maintenance treatments when recommended can help keep pigmentation under control long term.
What should I avoid after treatment?
After laser treatment, avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds, excessive heat, hot showers, saunas and intense exercise for several days. Do not use active skincare ingredients such as retinol, acids or exfoliants until advised by your clinician. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF is essential to protect the skin and reduce the risk of melasma returning.
How much does melasma treatment cost?
The cost of melasma treatment varies depending on the size of the area being treated and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, your clinician will assess your skin and provide a personalised treatment plan with clear pricing. Flexible payment options may be available.
What payment options are available for melasma treatments?
At Pulse Light Clinic, we accept all major debit and credit cards. We also offer flexible payment options to help spread the cost of your treatment, including PayPal Pay in 3 and finance plans through Omni Capital. PayPal Pay in 3 allows you to split the cost into three interest-free payments, while Omni Capital offers interest-free finance over 6 or 12 months on selected treatments, with extended payment plans also available. Our team will explain the available options during your consultation.
Pulse Light Clinic Reviews
Marylebone Clinic
The ladies at the Marylebone Clinic reception (with particular reference to Summer) were lovely and accommodating, as was the nurse who did the treatment. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
Nicole
Laser for stretch marks
I’ve just started laser treatment for stretch mark removal with Cherrie and although I can’t speak of the results yet, the process so far has been very straightforward. Cherrie took the time to explain the procedure in detail, gave tips for aftercare and reassured me that I was in good hands. I’m looking forward to seeing my marks improve and am interested in other treatments this fantastic clinic has to offer!
Lucinda Gallop
Staff are patient
Staff are patient and knowledgeable. I’ve done lasers treatments at other places but still come back for Pulse light as I truly see results from their treatments. Would highly recommend it.
