What Is Melasma and Why Is It So Hard to Treat?
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grayish-brown patches—most often on the cheeks, upper lip, nose, and forehead. It affects women more than men and is especially prevalent among those with darker skin tones.
Common Triggers for Melasma:
- Sun exposure (UV radiation)
- Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control)
- Genetics
- Medications or skincare products that cause sensitivity
While not medically harmful, melasma can deeply impact self-confidence. That’s where advanced treatments like MOXI come in.
What Is the MOXI Laser and How Does It Work?
The MOXI Laser is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser that targets pigment and stimulates skin renewal. Unlike older lasers that risk hyperpigmentation, MOXI is safe for all skin types—including those with melasma-prone or darker skin tones.
How MOXI Works on Melasma:
- Uses low-energy laser pulses to create micro-injuries
- Targets excess melanin in deeper layers of skin
- Triggers natural healing and collagen production
- Promotes brighter, more even skin tone
Why MOXI Is a Game-Changer for Melasma Treatment
Most melasma treatments work only on the skin’s surface. MOXI treats the underlying cause—deep melanin accumulation—while minimizing side effects.
Benefits of MOXI for Melasma:
- Safe for all skin tones
- Minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Quick sessions (under 60 minutes)
- Little to no downtime
- Treats melasma and improves overall skin tone
MOXI treatments are available at Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa in Chicago’s River North neighborhood—your go-to for all your skincare and beauty needs.
