Melasma is a pigment condition, common in Pakistan, that sits deeper than a tan. Heat, sun, pregnancy, and the wrong procedure can make it darker. That is why Aesthetica Trio does not start every melasma case with a laser.

What usually comes first

A consultant looks at the pattern, your medicines, and how much sun the face actually gets. Creams, pigment-safe routines, and strict sun protection are the base. Laser, including Pico devices, is added when it is likely to help rather than inflame the pigment. Fractional CO2 is a scar tool. It is not a casual melasma facial.

Acne is a separate problem

Active acne needs medical control. Scar treatment comes after the spots have settled. A Hydrafacial can refresh skin and has little downtime. It does not clear hormonal acne or deep scars by itself. Sessions at the Peshawar clinic are often 45–90 minutes, and pigment or scar courses take more than one visit.

A practical rule

If a clinic promises melasma gone in one laser sitting, be cautious. Pigment on brown skin punishes aggressive settings. Ask what happens if the area darkens, and what the sun plan is for Jamrud Road summers.
