What are the benefits
Melasma treatment with the Picosure Pro is super gentle & fast, with each session taking 10-15 minutes to perform. Settings are determined by your treating dermatologist or nurse.
Most melasma cases will require a series of 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. You should notice an improvement within one session, however continue to improve with subsequent sessions.
Our dermatologists & nurses are one of the most experienced laser operators in Australia, having worked with light based devices for over 20 years. We not only perform the procedure, but teach nationally & internationally.
Why Picture Pro
Picosure Pro is one of the most widely used pigment lasers at Cutis Dermatology. This provides unparalleled pigment clearance for melasma patients, with results in as little as one treatment. Best outcomes are achieved with a series of 4 sessions.
For melasma, the settings are low, using a combination of different beam deliveries. It’s like the washer in spray mode. Skin rejuvenation is different as this requires much more energy & passes, much like a pressure washer with a ‘focused’ jet of water. Melasma settings do not require numbing gel, whilst rejuvenation settings do.

The science behind
At Cutis Dermatology we tailor each and every melasma case, taking into account your age, pigmentation onset, clinical findings such as depth of pigmentation, location as well as your ethnicity, lifestyle and where you live. From there our clinical team will discuss the best option for you.
Our hit rate is over 85%. Resistant cases include dermal melasma or rebound melasma due to microneedling. Patients with a history of thyroid disorders are also more resistant to treatment. Your treating clinician will discuss the implication of your pigment pattern during the consultation.
