Your plan is chosen at consultation — most combine two of these over a course.

Breaks down excess melanin.
Sun damage, melasma and uneven tone — laser and peels to clear it, prescriptive homecare and SPF to stop it coming back.
Dark patches, sun spots and melasma appear when melanin is produced unevenly — triggered by UV exposure, hormones, inflammation or past breakouts. Malta's sun makes it one of the most common concerns we see.
Pigmentation responds well to treatment, but it comes back without protection. Every plan we build pairs in-clinic correction with the homecare and SPF that keep it away.
It can — pigment cells stay reactive to sun and hormones. Daily SPF and the right homecare are what hold your results.
No. Melasma is hormonal and reacts badly to heat, so we use gentler peels and actives rather than aggressive laser.
Expect mild redness and, after laser, darkening of the spots for a few days before they flake away.
You can, but results hold better if you avoid sun exposure through the course — many clients start in autumn.
Brightening actives and daily SPF — the half of the plan that happens at home.
