What Is Laser Melasma Treatment?
Melasma is a skin condition that causes abnormally dark patches to appear, usually on the face or forearms. This discoloration typically develops symmetrically around the cheeks, nose, forehead, or upper lip and most commonly occurs in women experiencing hormonal changes (such as those brought on by pregnancy or menopause). At Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, we treat melasma using the ClearLift® handpiece from Alma, a trusted name in cosmetic solutions. This comprehensive skin solution utilizes short pulses of high-energy light to break up unwanted pigmentation and rejuvenate the complexion. The result is long-lasting skin refreshment with minimal hassle and discomfort. To learn more about laser melasma treatment and other nonsurgical skin care solutions, schedule a private consultation at our Orlando, FL practice today.
How Does Laser Melasma Treatment Work?
Before starting your treatment, we may apply a topical numbing cream to the area to reduce any discomfort. When you're comfortable and ready, a member of our experienced team will pass the ClearLift handpiece over your skin, allowing the laser to break down the pigmented cells. You may feel a snapping sensation on your skin as the device works. When we're done, you can get right back to your normal schedule. As time passes, the pigment will be absorbed by your body before eventually being flushed out. The number of laser melasma treatments needed can vary from patient to patient, but most individuals need just a few short sessions to see a remarkable improvement in their skin tone.

Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics Reviews
I started seeing Dr. Grayman in March for my hair and alopecia. In the last several months my skin has cleared and my hair is filling in. I'm very happy with the care I've received and her staff is great never once have I felt rushed. She is a direct communicator which I love. I specially sought out an African America dermatologist and she is more than worth the wait. I have had to wait in office once or twice but I wait anytime I go to the Dr. It happens. Patience and kindness goes a long way.
I saw 3 Dermatologist before Dr. Grayman. She was the only Doctor to properly diagnose my condition and resolve it. I have not had an outbreak in more than 3 years!! Very professional and informative đź‘Ź đź‘Ś
For the first time after several visits this has been the first time a dermatologist has actually touched me and looked at every area I had concerns about while others only looked and quickly came to the conclusion that I had server dry skin.
Dr Grayman was awesome and started treatment right away. I’m excited for this journey.
Posted 11/07/25I waited until my last treatment before writing this review, just to be sure the results hold up. I’d been dealing with a hyperpigmentation area for over 3 years and I tried everything—(OTC products, prescriptions) and seen a few dermatologist. Nothing worked.Frustrated - one day while searching online, I came across Dr. Grayman and PureSkin Dermatology. This time, I specifically wanted to see a dermatologist familiar with my skin type and culture because, after several failed attempts with others, I figured maybe someone who truly understands skin like mine could actually help.At first, I was hesitant (as anyone would be), but I decided to schedule a consultation. After accessing my skin issue, Dr. Grayman immediately knew what kind of treatment would work best. I even said to her “If you’re absolutely confident about this treatment, I’ll move forward with you,” and she said without hesitation, “Yes, I am confident.” At that moment, I felt optimistic that I'm in good hands.Fast forward through 4 treatments—and wow! I’m super satisfied with the results. My skin in the problem area looked so much better. Dr. Grayman and her team have been nothing but professional, kind, and attentive before, during, and after every session. The ladies at the front desk are absolute sweethearts—super warm and welcoming, but still professional. The nurse assistants are just as great—very patient, friendly, professional and detail-oriented.Honestly, I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Grayman and her team. I 100% recommend PureSkin Dermatology if you’re looking for results and a staff that's professional, attentive and friendly. Hopefully I won’t need more treatments anytime soon, but if I ever do, this will always be my go-to spot. Hands down.Thank you to everyone at PureSkin! Sorry to readers for the long post, but I assure you this isn’t an insider review—just a grateful patient.

Am I A Candidate for Laser Melasma Treatment?
Candidates for laser melasma treatment with the ClearLift handpiece from Alma are typically individuals with stubborn pigmentation who want a noninvasive solution that requires little to no downtime. This treatment is suitable for most skin types and tones because it works beneath the skin's surface, targeting pigmentation without damaging the outer layer. Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate melasma who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and do not have active skin infections or certain medical conditions that may interfere with treatment. Factors such as skin sensitivity, the depth of pigmentation, and individual treatment goals also play a role in determining eligibility.

Laser Melasma Treatment FAQ
How does melasma differ from other forms of hyperpigmentation?
Unlike other forms of hyperpigmentation, melasma is often triggered by hormonal changes such as those occurring during pregnancy or menopause. This distinguishes it from other types of hyperpigmentation, which may be caused by factors like sun exposure, inflammation, or injury.
Can melasma recur after laser treatment?
While laser treatment for melasma can significantly reduce pigmentation and improve skin tone, melasma can recur, especially if the underlying triggers, such as hormonal changes or sun exposure, are not managed. Your dermatologist at Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics will provide guidance on long-term care to help prevent recurrence.
Is laser melasma treatment suitable for all skin types?
Yes, laser melasma treatment with the ClearLift handpiece is suitable for a variety of skin types. This technology allows for customization based on individual skin characteristics, ensuring safe and effective treatment for different skin tones and textures. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin type and tailor the treatment to meet your specific needs.
