Can melasma be completely cured?

Melasma cannot be permanently cured, but it can be effectively managed with proper treatment such as laser therapy, chemical peels, and medical skincare. Ongoing sun protection and maintenance are important to prevent recurrence.

Is laser safe for melasma?

Yes. When performed by a qualified doctor, laser treatment for melasma is safe and effective for Asian skin types. It targets excess pigmentation without harming surrounding skin.

How many sessions of melasma treatment are needed?

Most patients require 4 to 6 treatment sessions for visible results. The exact number depends on the severity of melasma and individual skin response.

Will melasma come back after treatment?

Melasma may return due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetic factors. Consistent sun protection and maintenance treatments help to keep it under control.

What is the best treatment for melasma in Malaysia?

The best treatment depends on individual skin condition. At Dr Jane Clinic in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, we provide a personalised combination of laser therapy, chemical peels, and prescription skincare for safe and effective melasma management.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin pigmentation problem that causes brown or dark patches on the face — usually on the cheeks, forehead, nose bridge, and upper lip.

Many patients describe it as:

“dark spots on face”
“brown patches that won’t go away”
“sun spots” or “mask of pregnancy”

While melasma is harmless, it can affect confidence. The good news is — with the right treatment, melasma can be managed and visibly reduced.
