Enlighten pico genesis hyperpigmentation treatment before and after - available in Vancouver Surrey

I went to many clinics and have seen Doctors and aestheticians to help minimize and possibly erase my pigment issue. However, I have always been disappointed as I’ve been told that there is not much that I can do…UNTIL! I came across Dr. Shah.

My skin is literally brand new!! I can’t believe that I get to wake up to such smooth and (almost completely) clear skin.

the pigment on my chin, it has reduced dramatically. I mean, it is still noticeably a different shade than the rest of my face BUT the difference in a week ago to now is just AMAZING.

…I am simply in awe of how kind and informative everyone is at the Beautiful Canadian Laser & Skincare Clinic.”

Why choose our melasma clinic over another?

We know there are many melasma clinics in Vancouver and Surrey. So why choose us? Below are some features you’ll want to take advantage of.

Several technologies for combination treatment plans

Having so many technologies at our disposal, we’re able to customize treatments to your specific case.

We may use a combination of tools when it comes to treating your melasma. We have found this is usually the best way to tackle a skin condition such as this. Melasma rarely goes away with a single-pronged approach.

Plus, our selection of tools also allows us to work at different depths in the skin, to target melasma where it is forming.

Doctor-led treatment plans for effective results

By deeply understanding the science behind melasma, and its proven solutions, our doctors are able to devise treatment plans that are backed by medical research. Our clinic has even participated in carrying out a research study to tackle hyperpigmentation like melasma. 

Having on-staff doctors also means we can prescribe medications or active skin ingredients, if they are suitable for your case.

Safety protocols to avoid worsening hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation, and especially melasma, can be a delicate skin condition to treat. Treating it incorrectly can result in more skin discolouration.

At our clinic, we employ safety protocols to ensure patients are not ‘over treated,’ while aiming for results as quickly as possible. Our technicians are also highly trained, and re-trained, on a regular basis.

Consistent follow up and patient care

We’re known for our follow up protocols and patient care. After your treatments with us, we’ll follow up to ensure everything is going well, and to document your progress. We’ll also be available if you have any questions or concerns.

By monitoring your condition, we can work towards honed solutions. Thanks to our many tools, if we need to switch to a stronger or lighter treatment, we’ll be able to do that, without having to send you to another provider.

Several happy patients over years of experience!

Having opened in 2000, we’ve been treating melasma and hyperpigmentation for a long time. We’ve seen what works, and what doesn’t.

We’re happy to say that many of our patients have gotten what they came for – improvement.

When you see us for a consultation, we’ll be able to show you before and after photos of our work on melasma patients.

Honest advice

We’ll also be realistic with you – melasma is not a skin condition that can go away easily.

However, it’s still possible to treat, even if it can’t be cured. We’ll evaluate your case to let you know what we think your best ‘next steps’ are.

You may not even have melasma, but another condition, which our doctors can advise on.

What is melasma?

Melanocyte diagram showing disappearance of pigments in skin layer

Melasma (a.k.a. chloasma) is a skin condition whereby patches of brown or tan discolouration appear on the forehead, cheeks, lips, nose or forearms. This is a result of the body’s sudden overproduction of pigment. Sometimes called the “mask of pregnancy,” melasma can affect anyone, but is most often triggered in adult women. It can especially be triggered by hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptive use or hormone replacement therapy.

Sometimes, sun damage and other blotchy skin conditions can look like melasma. Most of the time, these hyperpigmentation problems can be treated with similar methods, but with customized treatment plants.

Either way, it’s best to receive a diagnosis first, to rule out any dangerous skin abnormalities.

What types of melasma treatments do you offer?

Our melasma treatment options include:

Skin resurfacing

Our skin resurfacing lasers allow us to remove very thin layers of skin, though more than can be done with at-home exfoliation.

These tools create very tiny, controlled injuries in your skin. Your body then naturally starts healing itself, by producing new skin cells. This can help to replace pigmented areas.

Skin resurfacing at our clinic can be performed with:

Laser photofacials

Laser photofacials, also referred to as “laser peels,” or “laser facials,” can be used similarly to skin resurfacing techniques. The main difference is that they don’t work as deeply in the skin (i.e. they are milder). Or, they target specific pigments, and not all skin cells.

Our laser facials can be performed with:

When you have a persistent skin condition like melasma, skin health via routine maintenance is ever more important.

By getting rid of dead skin cells in the epidermis (top layer of skin), your body has no choice but to quickly turn out new, fresh skin. This can help get rid of the melasma-affected cells that are showing, while we work to treat melasma at a deeper level, too.

For skin maintenance, we recommend monthly procedures such as:

You can ‘mix-and-match’ the above treatments, though we recommend doing so with the advice of our skin specialists. Knowing your skin type, and the severity of your skin condition, can help us recommend a routine that’s right for you.

Prescriptions and cosmeceutical skin care

Our on-staff doctor is a practicing physician who can prescribe skin care ointments or creams to treat hyperpigmentation, including melasma. Common remedies for melasma include:

  • Enzyme inhibitors that block melanocyte activity.
  • Depigmenting agents (skin lightening products). This can include potent ingredients like fluocinolone, tretinoin or hydroquinone, which need to be carefully monitored for irritation or side-effects. Some can’t be used long-term.
  • Topical steroids (cortisone). This is also a short-term solution.

However, sometimes, a prescription-grade product is not necessary. There are over-the-counter options that use lower doses of the aforementioned ingredients, or milder alternatives. These are called cosmeceuticals. They are typically sold in doctor’s offices.

We sell these high-quality, non-prescription creams for hyperpigmentation at our skin clinic.

What is the cost of treating melasma at your skin clinic?

The cost of melasma treatments can vary depending on your chosen treatment, as well as the severity of your condition. The best way to find out an expected cost for solving melasma, is to come to our clinic for a consultation. You can fill out the form above to get a general idea of pricing guidelines.

During your consultation, we’ll use the VISIA® system to take UV photographs of your skin’s lower layers. This will allow us to see how far your melasma has reached, and where new sun damage is likely to occur.

We’ll also do a physical examination, and get to know more about your health history. Based on the information we gather, we’ll be able to make customized treatment recommendations, and explain each of them to you in more detail.

Please note: melasma treatments at our clinic are not covered by MSP in B.C.
