Hyperpigmentation

About this treatment
Melasma is defined by patches or spots on the skin darker in color than your natural tone and can occur due to genetics, sun exposure, aging, or other factors. Inject is home to all types of skin resurfacing treatments — including chemical peels and IV skincare cocktails to boost your complexion. Depending on your melasma condition and specific goals, we may also combine these offerings with PRP micro-needling and exosome therapy on a case-by-case basis.
Melasma relief must be carefully considered, as treatment is highly dependent on the condition's cause, plus other factors. Using the wrong procedures on the skin may cause PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) or worsen its appearance, so a personalized treatment plan is crucial. However, Inject is highly well-versed in the science behind melasma treatment and can target these issues at a psychological level. We’ll develop custom objectives that work for your skin, while also tracking your progress with our 3D assessment and analyzer to display the reduction in dark spots over time.

Melasma with Mesotherapy
Treating melasma with mesotherapy involves the injection of customized cocktails of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other active ingredients into the skin to target pigment production and improve skin tone. Mesotherapy can help reduce melanin production and lighten the appearance of melasma patches.
Mesotherapy differs from other treatments by delivering a personalized blend of active ingredients directly into the skin, targeting pigment production and promoting skin lightening. Unlike topical creams or chemical peels, mesotherapy provides targeted delivery for more effective results.
Mesotherapy can effectively treat various types of melasma, including epidermal, dermal, and mixed melasma, by regulating melanin production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
The number of treatment sessions needed can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the melasma and individual response to treatment. Generally, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.
The benefits of using mesotherapy for melasma treatment include improvement in skin tone, reduction of pigmentation, regulation of melanin production, and overall rejuvenation of the skin with minimal downtime.
The downtime after melasma treatment with mesotherapy is typically minimal, with most individuals experiencing mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which resolves within a few days.
While mesotherapy is generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner, potential risks or side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or rare instances of allergic reactions or infection.
Suitable candidates for melasma treatment with mesotherapy are individuals with melasma patches who desire improvement in their skin tone and pigmentation. It’s essential to have a consultation with a qualified practitioner to assess suitability and discuss expectations.
The duration of results can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the melasma, individual skin characteristics, and adherence to post-treatment care. Generally, results from melasma treatment with mesotherapy can last for several months to a year or more.
Yes, mesotherapy for melasma can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels or laser therapy to enhance results and address specific concerns. Combining treatments may offer a comprehensive approach to melasma management.

Melasma with Whitening Injection
Treating melasma with whitening injections involves the administration of intravenous or intramuscular injections containing a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other active ingredients that help regulate melanin production and lighten the skin. These injections can target pigment production and improve the appearance of melasma patches.
Whitening injections differ from other treatments by delivering a potent blend of active ingredients directly into the bloodstream, providing systemic effects that target melanin production and skin lightening from within. Unlike topical creams or chemical peels, whitening injections work on a deeper level to address melasma.
Whitening injections can effectively treat various types of melasma, including epidermal, dermal, and mixed melasma, by regulating melanin production and promoting skin lightening throughout the body.
The number of treatment sessions needed can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the melasma and individual response to treatment. Generally, a series of injections administered over several weeks or months may be recommended for optimal results.

Melasma with Chemical Peels
Treating melasma with chemical peels involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation of the outer layers, leading to the removal of pigmented cells and lightening of melasma patches. Chemical peels work by promoting skin turnover and rejuvenation, resulting in improved skin tone and texture.
Chemical peels differ from other treatments by providing a non-invasive and relatively quick procedure to target pigmentation and improve skin tone. Unlike topical creams or laser therapy, chemical peels work by exfoliating the skin’s surface and promoting renewal from within.
Chemical peels can effectively treat various types of melasma, including epidermal, dermal, and mixed melasma, by promoting exfoliation and removal of pigmented cells, leading to a more even skin tone.
The number of treatment sessions needed can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the melasma and the type of chemical peel used. Generally, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.
The benefits of using chemical peels for melasma treatment include improvement in overall skin tone, reduction of pigmentation, promotion of collagen production, and rejuvenation of the skin with minimal downtime.
The downtime after melasma treatment with chemical peels can vary depending on the depth of the peel and individual skin sensitivity. Most individuals experience mild redness, peeling, or flaking for several days to a week following treatment.
While chemical peels are generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner, potential risks or side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, irritation, or changes in pigmentation. Rarely, more serious complications such as scarring or infection may occur.

Melasma with PRP
Treating melasma with PRP involves using the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma, obtained from their blood, to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. PRP contains growth factors that promote skin healing and regeneration, helping to improve the appearance of melasma.
PRP treatment differs from other treatments by harnessing the regenerative properties of the patient’s own blood to promote skin rejuvenation. Unlike topical creams or chemical peels, PRP works from within the skin to address melasma and improve skin tone.
PRP can effectively treat various types of melasma, including epidermal, dermal, and mixed melasma, by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration, leading to a more even skin tone.
The number of treatment sessions needed can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the melasma and individual response to treatment. Generally, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.
