Melasma & Pigmentation / Dark Spots
Melasma, pigmentation, and dark spot treatment at MedSkincare Laser Centre in Whitby, Ontario is delivered with physician-led care because pigment concerns are among the most nuanced to treat well. The right approach depends heavily on the type of pigmentation you have, since melasma behaves very differently from sun spots or post-inflammatory marks. Our team takes the time to identify what you are actually dealing with before recommending treatment, which is essential to getting safe, lasting results.
Not All Pigmentation Is the Same
Sun spots, age spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and melasma can all look similar on the surface but respond differently to treatment. Melasma in particular is influenced by hormones and heat and can worsen if treated too aggressively, which is why a careful, conservative plan matters. Your provider assesses your skin and explains which type of pigmentation you have and how that shapes your plan.
Treatments We Use for Pigmentation
DyeVL
DyeVL is an advanced light-based treatment that targets pigment and vascular concerns, helping to address sun damage and uneven tone. By delivering controlled energy to pigmented areas, it can help break up unwanted pigment so the skin can clear it naturally. Your provider will confirm whether DyeVL is appropriate for your skin type and the kind of pigmentation you have.
MOXI
MOXI is a gentle non-ablative fractional laser that improves tone and texture with minimal downtime, making it a versatile option for uneven pigmentation across a range of skin types. Because it is designed to be approachable, MOXI is often used as part of a broader plan to refresh overall skin clarity, typically as a series of treatments.
Q-Switch Laser
The Q-switch laser delivers rapid, high-energy pulses that target pigment specifically, which can help address stubborn dark spots and certain types of pigmentation. Your provider determines whether a Q-switch treatment is suitable for your concern, since the right laser depends on the depth and type of pigment.
