What Type Is It?

Correct diagnosis is critical. Treating Melasma like a standard Sun Spot can lead to rebound. Which type matches your skin?

Unsure? Dr. Jiang uses VISIA skin analysis to reveal exactly what lies beneath the surface.

Root Causes

Why Pigmentation is Complex

Pigmentation isn't just one thing; it ranges from simple sun damage to complex hormonal conditions like Melasma.

1

UV & Heat Activation

Sun exposure and heat trigger melanocytes to produce pigment as a defense mechanism. This causes sun spots and can worsen melasma.

2

Hormonal Triggers

Pregnancy, birth control, and hormonal therapy can trigger Melasma. This is often deeper and more recalcitrant than sun spots.

3

Vascular Feeding

Abnormal blood vessels can 'feed' pigmentation, especially melasma, making it return even after successful laser treatments.

4

Basement Membrane Damage

A leaky skin foundation allows pigment to sink into the deeper dermis, where it becomes much harder to treat.

VISIA Diagnostic Mapping

We use hospital-grade imaging to see through surface skin, mapping UV damage and vascular patterns before treating.

2

The 'Cold Laser' Principle

By using PicoWay's pressure effect rather than heat, we can clear pigment without the inflammation that causes rebound.

3

Physician-Guided Protocols

Dr. Jiang oversees every protocol, ensuring settings are calibrated for your specific skin type and pigment depth.

Long-Term Control Focus

We don't just clear the spot; we educate you on triggers and maintenance to keep the results permanent.

Pigment FAQ

Common Questions

Sun spots (lentigines) are discrete 'stains' from UV damage. Melasma is a chronic hormonal condition that presents as patches and is fueled by heat and blood vessels. Melasma requires a much gentler, more complex approach.
It is safer in winter, but possible in summer with strict adherence to mineral SPF and avoiding direct sun. If you have an active tan, we must wait for it to fade before lasering.
Freckles are often genetic. While we can clear them effectively, new ones will form if you don't commit to 365-day sun protection.
With PicoWay, most patients have 24-48 hours of mild redness. Unlike old lasers, there is usually no scabbing or 'crusting' of the spots.
Yes. Dr. Jiang specializes in protocols for Asian and darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick III-V), prioritizing safety and the prevention of PIH.
