What Is Laser Melasma Treatment?
Melasma, sometimes known as chloasma, is a skin condition characterized by irregular dark patches on the face or forearms. These patches, typically tan or brown, often appear symmetrically on the forehead, cheeks, nose, or upper lip. It's a prevalent condition, especially among women, and can be triggered by sun exposure or hormonal changes, like pregnancy or menopause. At our West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA practices, we frequently address melasma with the advanced PicoSure® Pro. Interested in exploring laser treatments for melasma? Contact Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa to find out how we can help reduce the appearance of this skin concern.
How Does Laser Melasma Treatment Work?
Prior to starting your treatment, a topical numbing cream might be applied to reduce any potential discomfort. Subsequently, one of our skilled team members will maneuver the handpiece across your skin, directing the non-ablative laser energy toward the areas affected by melasma. This light energy is designed to lessen pigmentation, allowing your body to absorb it and unveil a clearer, more uniform complexion. Generally, only a handful of treatments are necessary. Nevertheless, your skin's specific needs might need several sessions to get the best possible outcome.

Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa Reviews
I am so happy that I went to Shandu Dermatology!Dr Harika Shandu is an excellent surgeon with outstanding attention to detail. Her stitchwork is so beautiful that it reminds me of fine embroidery on a silk cloth. She's that good!I had what looked like two pimples on my back, but they were just the tip of the iceberg. I heard a "snip snip" , it felt like a haircut, and when she was done, a non-cancerous cyst - the size of my thumb! - was removed from my back and placed in a medical jar. I was shocked! I had no idea!The second cyst was the size of a marble, and a third cyst, located on my left forearm, which I thought was a weird looking mole, but no, no, no - it was a cyst the size of a 1-inch ball bearing! My jaw dropped in disbelief.Because Dr Hakita Shandu did such an excellent job sewing me up, my wounds have closed completely now and there is no scarring. There is still some discoloration around the wounds, but I plan on buying the Post Care Silicone Gel when I go back next week for a follow-up appointment.I’m also seriously considering the monthly subscription for a hydro facial. It sounds wonderful and very relaxing.Dr Hakita Shandu is a very nice person with a gentle touch. I would strongly recommend Shandu Dermatology for any skin care needs. The entire staff is very nice, and they made me feel very much at ease. It’s like the tv show Cheers! - “where everyone knows your name”Thank you very much, Dr Hakita Shandu! You're the best!Morris Lee FeasterPalmdale, CA
Everyone is nice and welcoming and understanding. Michelle is so awesome, I been going to her for years. Honestly they are all amazing people
Doctors and Staff and Products are the Best in the Valley! Been a Patient well over 25yrs ! Highly recommend Dr Sandhu Dermatologist
The girls are terrified, very professional
I had my procedure today with Ashley and Dr. Sandhu, I felt NOTHING. Not even the syringe that Ashley used to numb me before the full removal of my mole. Ashley made sure I was comfortable and was able to talk me through the prep process. Dr. Sandhu was so quick with the procedure I couldn’t even think to feel anything. I am still going to get a biopsy and 6 week follow up. But I am highly satisfied with the progress. I did peak under my bandaid and I’m glad to no longer see an abnormal mole! Thank you Dr. Sandhu and team!_______________________________________________I had my first mole check-up with Dr. Sandhu and Amanda, and I was truly impressed by the entire experience. From start to finish, the appointment process was smooth and easy. Both Dr. Sandhu and Amanda were professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, which helped put me at ease right away.Unfortunately, the mole in question appeared abnormal, so I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for a shave and biopsy. While I’m definitely hoping and praying for a benign result, I feel confident knowing I’m in such capable hands.As a cash patient, I also really appreciated the clear and reasonable pricing—no surprises, just honest care. I’m very grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for attentive and thorough dermatologic care.
