Book NowA personalized approach, designed around how you want to feel.
Conquer your most challenging discoloration concerns with our specialized Medical Melasma Treatment. Operating at advanced GPS Level 3 within our corrective system, this intensive clinical peel is engineered explicitly to lift deep-seated melasma and stubborn hyperpigmentation. By employing a powerful, multi-layered protocol that combines professional-grade Mineral Jessner, Lactic Clear, and Mineral Retinol solutions, this treatment safely penetrates multiple cellular layers of the skin. This highly technical approach shatters concentrated pigment pathways at the source, giving you an even skin tone, refined texture, and a luminous, healthy complexion.
Because of the high-intensity nature of this advanced protocol, you cannot jump straight into this service. Guests must first build up skin resilience through a series of foundational treatments and a dedicated home care routine before booking this treatment.
Our strategic, cyclical approach—Prepare, Treat, Recover—ensures your skin achieves deep, dramatic transformation while remaining calm, balanced, and structurally protected.

A few of the reasons patients keep coming back.
Melasma is one of the most stubborn skin conditions to manage. This clinical treatment uses specialized chemistry and custom layering to treat discoloration safely and progressively without triggering rebound pigmentation:
By blending the resurfacing properties of Mineral Jessner, the cell-brightening effects of Lactic Clear, and the deep cell-turnover power of Mineral Retinol, we disrupt multiple stages of pigment creation simultaneously.
This treatment can be precisely performed at a standard GPS Level 3 or layered even further by your esthetician for advanced correction, depending on your skin's immediate readiness and depth of damage.
Instead of merely bleaching the surface, this advanced peeling protocol speeds up cellular renewal, replacing old, heavily pigmented cells with fresh, evenly structured tissue.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
Because melasma is highly triggered by heat and UV exposure, and this advanced peeling protocol deeply exfoliates the skin, we strongly recommend scheduling this treatment during cooler months. This minimizes raw UV exposure during your recovery phase and avoids triggering rebound pigmentation.
No. If you have experienced a sunburn within the past 2 weeks, your skin barrier is actively compromised and highly sensitive. Advanced resurfacing is not recommended. Please contact your esthetician so we can adjust your timeline and recommend the safest homecare steps to heal your skin.
Absolutely. Melasma manifests differently on every single individual. Your esthetician will physically evaluate your skin’s baseline health, depth of pigmentation, and prior peel readiness at every single appointment to calibrate the exact layer count and intensity.
Yes. This is an advanced corrective peel. Most clients experience mild to visible peeling and flaking over 5 to 10 days post-treatment. Keeping the skin clean, heavily hydrated, and strictly shielded with SPF is non-negotiable during this phase.
Yes. To ensure the safest and most effective outcome, your skin must be properly prepped, conditioned, and built up through foundational treatments and a recommended tyrosinase-inhibiting home care routine for at least two weeks leading up to this level. This prevents skin shock and ensures safe pigment lifting.
While you will notice a brighter and smoother appearance within a week as the initial peeling subsides, melasma correction requires a progressive journey. True, transformative results are cumulative and will require a dedicated series of treatments combined with consistent daily home care.
