Why you’ll love our melasma treatments
Effective treatments
Our technologies have been shown to clear hyperpigmentation, with clinical studies to back their effectiveness.
Combined approach
Solving melasma requires consistent care with a combination of treatments. Our tools allow us to work at different depths in the skin.
Customized treatments
We’ll check under your skin using our UV camera. Then, we can target hyperpigmentation where it is forming beneath the epidermis.
Why us?
Doctor-led treatment plans for effective results
By deeply understanding the science behind melasma, and its proven solutions, our doctors are able to devise treatment plans that are backed by medical research.
Having on-staff doctors also means we can prescribe medications or active skin ingredients, if they are suitable for your case.
In-clinic research
Our clinic has conducted research studies on the best methods to tackle hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Our lead doctor, Dr. Shah, has several years’ experience treating several types of skin discolouration.
Safety protocols to avoid worsening hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation, and especially melasma, can be a delicate skin condition to treat. Treating it incorrectly can result in more skin discolouration.
At our clinic, we employ safety protocols to ensure patients are not ‘over treated,’ while aiming for results as quickly as possible.
Consistent follow up and patient care
We’re known for our follow up protocols and patient care. After your treatments with us, we’ll follow up to ensure everything is going well, and to document your progress. We’ll also be available if you have any questions or concerns.
We’ve helped several happy patients with our melasma treatments!
I went to many clinics and have seen Doctors and aestheticians to help minimize and possibly erase my pigment issue. However, I have always been disappointed as I’ve been told that there is not much that I can do…UNTIL! I came across Dr. Shah.
…My skin is literally brand new!! I can’t believe that I get to wake up to such smooth and (almost completely) clear skin.
…the pigment on my chin, it has reduced dramatically. I mean, it is still noticeably a different shade than the rest of my face BUT the difference in a week ago to now is just AMAZING.
…I am simply in awe of how kind and informative everyone is at the Beautiful Canadian Laser & Skincare Clinic.”

Learn more about melasma and its treatment options
What is melasma?
Melasma (a.k.a. chloasma) is a skin condition whereby patches of brown or tan discolouration appear on the forehead, cheeks, lips, nose or forearms. This is a result of the body’s sudden overproduction of pigment. Sometimes called the “mask of pregnancy,” melasma can affect anyone, but is most often triggered in adult women. It can especially be triggered by hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptive use or hormone replacement therapy.
Sometimes, sun damage and other blotchy skin conditions can look like melasma. Most of the time, these hyperpigmentation problems can be treated with similar methods, but with customized treatment plants.
Either way, it’s best to receive a diagnosis first, to rule out any dangerous skin abnormalities.
What types of melasma treatments do you offer?
Our melasma treatment options include:
Skin resurfacing
Our skin resurfacing lasers allow us to remove very thin layers of skin, though more than can be done with at-home exfoliation.
These tools create very tiny, controlled injuries in your skin. Your body then naturally starts healing itself, by producing new skin cells. This can help to replace pigmented areas.
Skin resurfacing at our clinic can be performed with:
- The Fraxel® DUAL laser
- A fractional CO2 laser
- A deep chemical peel
Laser photofacials
Laser photofacials, also referred to as “laser peels,” or “laser facials,” can be used similarly to skin resurfacing techniques. The main difference is that they don’t work as deeply in the skin (i.e. they are milder). Or, they target specific pigments, and not all skin cells.
Our laser facials can be performed with:
- Erbium YAG (Er:YAG) on a very light setting, to perform a mild skin peel (milder than chemical peels)
- PicoSure™, enlighten®, Clear + Brilliant®, excel® V or GentleMax Pro™ – to treat red or brown pigments in the skin.

Exfoliating facials
When you have a persistent skin condition like melasma, skin health via routine maintenance is ever more important.
By getting rid of dead skin cells in the epidermis (top layer of skin), your body has no choice but to quickly turn out new, fresh skin. This can help get rid of the melasma-affected cells that are showing, while we work to treat melasma at a deeper level, too.
For skin maintenance, we recommend monthly procedures such as:
- A mild chemical peel
- A HydraFacial™
- A Microdermabrasion session
You can ‘mix-and-match’ the above treatments, though we recommend doing so with the advice of our skin specialists. Knowing your skin type, and the severity of your skin condition, can help us recommend a routine that’s right for you.
Prescriptions and cosmeceutical skin care
Our on-staff doctor is a practicing physician who can prescribe skin care ointments or creams to treat hyperpigmentation, including melasma. Common remedies for melasma include:
- Enzyme inhibitors that block melanocyte activity.
- Depigmenting agents (skin lightening products). This can include potent ingredients like fluocinolone, tretinoin or hydroquinone, which need to be carefully monitored for irritation or side-effects. Some can’t be used long-term.
- Topical steroids (cortisone). This is also a short-term solution.
However, sometimes, a prescription-grade product is not necessary. There are over-the-counter options that use lower doses of the aforementioned ingredients, or milder alternatives. These are called cosmeceuticals. They are typically sold in doctor’s offices.
We sell these high-quality, non-prescription creams for hyperpigmentation at our skin clinic.
