Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches—often on the face—due to overproduction of melanin. It is most prevalent in women and often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics. While not medically harmful, melasma can significantly affect one’s skin clarity.
Traditional treatments like topical creams and chemical peels may offer temporary relief, but stubborn melasma often requires a more advanced approach. Dr. Mark H. Schwartz uses the Moxi laser to treat melasma.
Moxi is especially effective for treating melasma because it targets the associated pigment and avoids excessive heat that can worsen pigmentation—a risk associated with more aggressive lasers. It is safe for all skin types and tones and is often recommended in a series of treatments for optimal results. Over time, patients report smoother texture, even skin tone, and a visible reduction in melasma patches.
If you are struggling with melasma and looking for a science-backed, gentle solution, Moxi could be your answer. Schedule a consultation today to see if this innovative treatment is right for you.
