Melasma causes dark, discoloured patches on your skin that typically occur on the face and are symmetrical. Melasma is more common in women than in men, with an onset typically between the ages of 20 and 40 years. These patches appear darker than your usual skin colour.
Melasma can appear on:
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Nose
- Chin
- Neck
Other areas of your body that are often exposed to the sun can also develop melasma.
The goal of melasma treatment is to decrease the superficial pigment on your body and even out your skin tone. At Evolution Laser Clinic, we offer a range of cosmeceutical skin treatments that gently reduce the appearance of visible pigmentation and help prevent future skin discolouration.

Our Solutions
Ageless Peel
Gently rejuvenate your skin to appear more refreshed, re-hydrated and plump. This peel effectively exfoliates the skin, removing surface dead cells to improve the appearance of ageing skin. This treatment is ideal for those who are sensitive, dry and dehydrated.
By utilising our skin correcting boosters, our skin therapists mix a custom Vitamin-A infusion tailored to your skin concerns, which is then massaged into the skin post-peel. After the infusion, a mask will be applied to enhance the peel treatment and accelerate the result.
The Ageless Peel can be performed monthly.
Recommendations
For optimal results, use the EvolveMD Anti-Ageing Trio and Pro Collagen Serum post-treatment.
Combine with LED Light Therapy treatment for accelerated results.
Pigment Peel
Gently reduces the appearance of pigmentation and helps prevent future skin discolouration. This unique treatment of concentrated, potent medical-grade vitamins and plant extracts works to gradually break down epidermal hyperpigmentation. The Pigment Peel is a natural and generally well-tolerated treatment with no downtime, though reactions and recovery can vary.

Ultimate Peel
The ultimate peel induces superficial peeling and is ideal for those looking to reveal luminous skin. This peel penetrates deeply to remove the top layers of the skin quickly and efficiently to improve the appearance of acne, sun damage, discolouration and ageing.
This intensive peel will promote shedding, which will last for approximately 7 days, leaving the skin looking and feeling supple, clear with a firm and plumped appearance. To prep for this skin peel and improve results, we advise the use of the EvolveMD Multi Active Serum. You will also be required to avoid contact with water 24 hours post-treatment.
The Ultimate Peel can be performed 4 times a year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What treatment options are available for treating melasma?
Here at Evolution Laser Clinic, we have several melasma treatment options available at our Australian-wide clinics. Our peels include the Ageless Peel and Pigment Peel, which will be perfect for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin, without downtime. The Ultimate Peel induces superficial peeling of the skin, making it a suitable option for those seeking more noticeable skin renewal over a shorter treatment period.
Skin needling (aka collagen induction therapy) is a natural way to induce collagen and elastin production. Our state-of-the-art cosmetic micro-needling device helps address visible concerns such as scarring, pigment or ageing skin.
PicoWay® is an advanced laser solution for the treatment of acne scars, appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and epidermal pigmentation and discolouration. Because it emits less heat than traditional lasers, PicoWay® provides a more comfortable treatment and virtually no downtime. It can help achieve a porcelain-like appearance for many skin types.
How do I choose the right melasma treatment for me?
Depending on the appearance of your melasma and the contributing factors – whether that’s hormonal changes, pregnancy, environmental factors or medication – our professional therapists can assist and advise you on which melasma treatment will work best for clearing your problem areas.
How many treatments will I need to help my melasma?
Each case is different as there are contributing factors that we can’t eliminate or change, such as menopause. This is why the number of skin treatments for the appearance of melasma varies across each client.
Our expert team of therapists will assess your skin to better understand what solution would work best for your problem areas. They’ll also advise you on how many melasma treatments you’ll need.
Are melasma reduction treatments painful?
Comfort levels vary depending on the type of treatment used and your individual sensitivity. Some people may experience:
- Mild warmth or tingling during the procedure
- A light stinging sensation in treated areas
- Temporary redness or sensitivity afterwards
Our trained skin therapists will guide you through what to expect and provide appropriate aftercare advice to support your comfort throughout the treatment.
What is the most affordable melasma treatment at Evolution Laser Clinic?
Affordability can vary depending on the treatment type and the number of treatments discussed during consultation.
What is the best treatment for melasma on the face?
Everyone’s skin is different, and depending on the nature of your facial discolouration and pigmentation, the melasma treatment suitable for someone else may not be the right fit for you.
At Evolution Laser, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to your melasma treatment. Instead, we’ll sit down with you to understand what concerns you have about your skin and which treatments will be best suited to give you the results you want. Whether it’s a skin peel, skin needling or melasma laser treatment, rest assured our team will tailor a treatment program to deliver flawless, natural-looking results.
Will I require any downtime after the treatment?
Because we focus on non-surgical melasma treatments, there is very little to no downtime after our procedures. If you have a specific event or concern about recovery time after a procedure, feel free to reach out to our team. We can advise you on what to expect from your melasma treatment.
How often will I need to get melasma treatments?
Depending on the extent of your skin discolouration and your aesthetic goals, the number of recommended melasma treatments will vary. Some of our melasma peel treatments can be performed monthly, while others can be carried out four times a year.
In your personalised consultation, our therapists will be able to estimate how often you should receive melasma treatments to get your preferred results.
Do you offer melasma laser treatment?
Yes! Our team specialise in various laser therapies for melasma, including PicoWay® laser. This melasma laser treatment is particularly effective in targeting hard-to-treat areas, giving you a porcelain skin finish that’s radiant, even and youthful-looking. Best of all, because it uses less heat, it has virtually no downtime after treatment.
Are the melasma treatments suitable for all skin types?
As underscored by research published in the Australian Journal of General Practice, melasma requires an individualised approach, and outcomes vary between individuals. Our therapists will assess your skin type and recommend suitable options accordingly.
