Fade Dark Patches for Good: Effective Melasma Treatments at Calgary Vein & Laser
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark, discoloured patches that typically appear on the face, especially the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip.

Results typically appear gradually, with improvements becoming noticeable over a few weeks to months, depending on the treatment type.
Recovery is generally minimal. Some treatments may cause temporary redness or mild peeling, but patients can typically resume normal activities shortly after.
While melasma cannot be completely cured, effective treatment and ongoing management can significantly reduce its appearance and prevent future flare-ups.
Treatment reduces the appearance of dark patches, evens out skin tone, and improves overall skin appearance, boosting confidence and long-term results.
