Today’s topic is about melasma and spots. Most people who visit MeSO Medspa are those who want to prepare for healthy skin, healthy care, and natural aging. One of the things that disrupts these goals is melasma and spots. These are the main risk factors that harm our skin health. So, if you’ve been struggling with freckles, melasma, or spots, this article will be helpful for you. Is that pigmentation on your skin really melasma? Many people look at the mirror and think, “This must be melasma” or “That’s probably a spot,” and label it themselves. But although the brown spots on the skin may look the same, the depth and characteristics of the pigmentation underneath are different for each case. Some types of pigmentation are deeply rooted in the skin and intricately linked to blood vessels, forming the subtle yet persistent “melasma” type. Other types appear on the surface of the skin as “freckles or spots” like traces of sun exposure. In some cases, pigmentation left over from past acne scars can also resemble spots in the form of brown “hyperpigmentation.” Even though the pigmentation looks the same, treating it with the same laser is like prescribing the same medicine for every disease. If you’re lucky, it might lighten a little, but if done incorrectly, it could wake up dormant pigmentation or irritate the skin, causing bigger problems. The key to good care is not simply labeling the pigmentation but actually looking closely at it. Good care goes beyond just seeing with the eyes; it involves using advanced skin scanning equipment at MeSO Medspa to examine the depth of the pigmentation, the type of pigmentation, and even the condition of the blood vessels. Many people who experienced side effects from melasma treatment lacked this process. Finding the most appropriate method for your skin is the top priority in treatment at MeSO Medspa. What are the treatments for melasma, spots, and acne? As mentioned earlier, the treatment method varies depending on the individual’s condition, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Let me share a few examples. For example, if the main problem is stubborn melasma or spots deeply rooted in the skin, a laser treatment like Iris Blue Toning, which specializes in melasma, could be a good option. It uses blue light to penetrate the pigmentation cells and selectively break down melanin in the skin. Additionally, this blue light has a 2-in-1 effect by helping with sebaceous gland control and reducing inflammation. This helps prevent further pigmentation issues from developing. The broken-down pigmentation becomes easier for the body to process. In other words, it targets only the pigmentation with minimal damage to the surrounding skin. However, in cases where the skin concerns are more complex, such as a mix of shallow spots, deep melasma, and redness from blood vessels, the treatment method at MeSO Medspa must be adjusted accordingly. Rather than precisely targeting just one pigment, when dealing with redness, rosacea, and skin tone, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser can be a good choice because it uses light energy from multiple wavelengths. This allows for comprehensive treatment of spots, redness, and overall skin tone. However, since strong light energy could stimulate melasma, it’s crucial that the treatment be done by skilled professionals at MeSO Medspa who can adjust the energy level carefully according to the patient’s condition. What causes melasma to appear and stress us out? Melasma is caused by a combination of factors such as UV exposure, hormonal changes, stress, and genetics, leading to the deposition of melanin deep in the dermis. It usually appears as blurry, symmetrical patches. As a result, many women develop melasma after pregnancy. On the other hand, spots are typically surface pigmentation issues caused by UV exposure or aging. In areas like California, both types of pigmentation are common. They usually appear as small, distinct patches and can be categorized as freckles, dark spots, or liver spots. While treating spots is relatively easier than treating melasma, they can recur or deepen, so consistent care at MeSO Medspa is necessary. Ultimately, the important thing is that we can’t just rely on what’s visible to make a judgment; a proper diagnosis using advanced diagnostic equipment at MeSO Medspa and a professional’s eyes is essential for determining the correct treatment. Conclusion: Combining Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment First, when treating melasma, we need to adjust the laser output carefully to avoid stimulating the deeply settled melanin and treat it gradually. While the equipment is important, the precision with which it’s adjusted is far more critical at MeSO Medspa. Since spots are generally treated on the surface, the response to the laser tends to be quicker. However, trying to remove them all at once with a strong treatment may leave hyperpigmentation behind. So, it’s best to reduce irritation and treat the skin consistently. Also, it’s important to remember that melasma and spots often coexist. In such cases, it’s essential to differentiate the depth and type of pigmentation and approach the treatment comprehensively. Most importantly, post-treatment care matters. If you follow three key points — sunscreen, moisturizing, and avoiding skin irritation — you’ll achieve even more satisfying results. MeSO Medspa uses an advanced skin diagnostic tool called Mark-Vu to precisely analyze the skin. This device helps evaluate the depth of pigmentation, the degree of skin aging, the future state of your skin, hydration levels, and pore condition — almost like a skin microscope. With this process and the expertise accumulated over time, MeSO Medspa provides treatments after a thorough diagnosis. Since this treatment isn’t a one-time fix, continuous care at MeSO Medspa is required. If you want to know your skin’s condition, we highly recommend visiting MeSO Medspa for a free skin analysis.

BB Lavieen Laser: A Unique Treatment Lavieen Laser at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach is often referred to as the BB Laser because of its toning effect that’s similar to applying BB cream. The BB Laser nickname comes from the fact that it provides a tone-up effect, much like when you apply BB cream. In terms of laser type, it’s a non-ablative fractional laser (Non-ablative fractional laser) and belongs to the Fraxel laser family, but it’s a laser that doesn’t cause peeling or wounds on the skin. How BB Lavieen Laser Works: Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results Like Fraxel lasers, it penetrates between the epidermis and dermis to induce heat coagulation and reorganize tissue. However, since the outer epidermis remains undamaged, there’s minimal downtime and no disruption to your daily life. This makes it an ideal choice for treatments at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach, where patients want to resume their routine immediately.

The Secret to Reducing Side Effects and Maximizing the Effectiveness of All Skin Treatments at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach Hello from MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. Recently, many customers have been visiting us for the first time to receive treatments, and as a result, their skin conditions and issues vary, so they undergo different treatments at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. However, many people don’t know the important preparation steps they should take before visiting a medspa. This preparation is key to reducing side effects and maximizing the effectiveness of any treatment at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. The secret is “improving your skin’s foundational strength” at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. What does improving your skin’s foundational strength mean? It’s often referred to as the skin barrier , and today we’ll explain why this foundational strength, the skin barrier, is so important when receiving other treatments at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. The Skin Barrier Is Your Skin’s Foundation The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin, protecting it from external damage and preserving its moisture. This skin barrier prevents harmful external substances from entering and keeps essential substances, like moisture, from escaping. What happens if this skin barrier gets damaged at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach? 1. Penetration of Harmful External Substances This can cause inflammatory and allergic reactions, leading to redness, itching, and discomfort. It can develop into eczema or dermatitis, and if chronic, lead to atopic dermatitis. 2. Loss of Skin Moisture The skin becomes dry, rough, and prone to increased signs of aging. 3. Pigmentation The penetration of harmful substances can lead to inflammatory responses, increasing melanin production, which can cause pigmentation. The skin barrier is the first line of defense against any external stimulation, including MedSpa treatments at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. Building Strength = Exercise, Strengthening the Skin Barrier = Treatment Preparation Just like how exercise builds muscles, lifting treatments stimulate collagen production in the skin, while skin boosters supply essential nutrients to the skin. Laser or injection treatments inevitably stimulate the skin barrier, potentially causing temporary damage to it. A strong skin barrier can withstand this stimulation effectively, but a weak or damaged skin barrier may cause discomfort, redness, and dryness post-treatment at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. Why is the Skin Barrier So Important? The reason your skin may feel sensitive after a treatment is due to the skin barrier. Laser treatments or exfoliating lasers may thin the skin temporarily by removing the outer layer, but over time, the skin will regenerate and return to normal thickness. However, if the skin barrier is weak, the skin becomes more sensitive and dry. The Secret to Reducing Side Effects and Maximizing Effectiveness in All Skin Treatments at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach A stronger skin barrier allows you to undergo stronger treatments with fewer side effects and better results. When the skin barrier is weak, increasing treatment intensity may cause skin damage or inflammation, leading to greater side effects. At MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach, we use a skin diagnostic tool called MarkView to assess the condition of your skin. If the skin barrier is weak, we first focus on strengthening it before recommending further treatments to enhance the results. Step-by-Step Methods for Strengthening the Skin Barrier at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach There are various ways to strengthen the skin barrier, depending on its condition: If the skin is in good condition: Treatments to improve the skin barrier. If the skin is slightly damaged: Treatments to strengthen the skin barrier. If the skin is severely damaged: A detailed, systematic plan for skin barrier reconstruction. By improving the skin barrier at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach, you can enhance your skin tone, texture, and radiance, resulting in higher satisfaction with the results. A Representative Treatment to Strengthen the Skin Barrier — Rejuran at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach One of the best treatments for strengthening the skin barrier is Rejuran . Rejuran helps regenerate the skin by stimulating the dermal layer and strengthening the skin barrier through the PN component, a skin-rejuvenating substance that is injected into the skin at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach. To maintain healthy skin, proper diagnosis and personalized treatment are crucial. Since there are parts of the skin that are difficult to evaluate with the naked eye, it’s essential to consult with a professional at MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach to assess your skin’s condition. At MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach, we provide accurate skin assessments and offer the necessary treatments. We’ll be back soon with more helpful topics from MeSO MedSpa in Newport Beach!
