Fading Melasma for Good: How PicoSure Pro Can Help Reverse Sun Damage
If summer has left you with stubborn dark patches on your skin, you're not alone. Melasma, a common form of hyperpigmentation, often worsens with sun exposure and can be difficult to treat with standard creams or peels. But thanks to advancements in laser technology, and our newest medical device here at Bonita, PicoSure Pro offers a revolutionary way to fade pigmentation safely and effectively - Without damaging your skin. What a win?!
What Is PicoSure Pro?
PicoSure Pro is an advanced picosecond laser that delivers ultra-short bursts of energy to break up pigmentation in the skin. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, PicoSure Pro uses pressure-based technology to target melasma at a cellular level. This means it shatters pigment into tiny particles that your body naturally clears away - Without the risk of overheating or causing additional skin irritation.
Why PicoSure Pro Works for Melasma
Melasma is one of the most stubborn skin conditions to treat because it’s often triggered by a combination of UV exposure, hormones, and genetics - Fun! Traditional laser treatments and some harsh peels can sometimes make it worse, especially if they create inflammation in the skin.
PicoSure Pro is Different Because:
It’s gentle yet powerful – Uses short bursts of energy instead of prolonged heat.
It reaches deep pigmentation – Targets stubborn melanin deposits that topical treatments can’t reach.
It stimulates skin renewal – Helps improve overall skin texture and tone.
It requires little to no downtime – Get results without weeks of recovery - A great option for summer time!
The Best Way to Treat Melasma
For the most effective results, at Bonita, we pair PicoSure Pro with other targeted treatments for a multi-layered approach:
Lase MD Ultra – Another advanced option for deeper pigmentation concerns.
Chemical Peels – Exfoliates the top layer of skin to speed up the fading process.
Medical-Grade Skincare – Includes pigment-correcting serums, like ZO® Brightalive® , and daily SPF to prevent melasma from returning.
When Will You See Results?
Most of our clients see visible improvements within a few sessions following a prescribed treatment plan as we all require a customized plan - Theres’s no cookie cutter approach as we’re all unique. Because melasma can be persistent, ongoing maintenance treatments and consistent sun protection are key for long-term success. Our best recommendation would be to talk with one of our expert aesthetic consultants.
