The dark discolorations look erratic and are a typical sign that you are dealing with melasma. A harmless skin condition with a big impact on your appearance. Are you finding the spots increasingly difficult to camouflage? Want to prevent the spots from getting worse? Don't walk around with pigment spots any longer! Make an appointment to reduce these spots.<\/p>\n<p>At The Laser Clinic, we specialize in treating melasma. With an intensive course, we help you make your skin more even and healthy, giving you a calmer skin appearance. Melasma, unfortunately, is a chronic sensitivity that is quickly triggered. Aggressive treatments provide only a temporary effect or eventual worsening of the stains. Therefore, be critical by whom and how you allow yourself to be treated. We strive for long-term results with honest advice and a broad perspective. We believe in results-oriented treatment, with you in control as much as possible. Stabilizing melasma is a big challenge, but by working together we achieve great results. Are you ready to tackle your pigmentation spots together?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_0 et_pb_button

The course consists of treatments in the clinic, skin products for home use and change in dealing with sunlight. Skin therapy treatments build up in intensity. We usually start first with medical peels and spot-out treatment. We also enjoy working with the innovative Skinpen. In some cases we use laser therapy, and possibly medication may be advised as an adjunct. The skin therapist will work with you to decide which treatment option or combination of different treatments is best for your skin. We always tailor a plan to achieve the best results. It regularly happens that clients are already satisfied with the results achieved at the beginning of a course. Then, of course, there is no need to undergo more severe treatments. We are satisfied when you are!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_2 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Reviews<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>With various skin challenges, I came to the Laser Clinic. After a comprehensive analysis at the intake, we started to improve fine lines, melasma and dark circles. Not every skin is the same, which is why it's nice that the skin therapists at the Laser Clinic really take the time to look for the best fitting solution. They have a wide choice of treatment so that it always suits the needs that are there.<br \/>A fine clinic with personal contact.   <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>- Simone<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am extremely satisfied with my treatment for melasma at the Laser Clinic.

I went for an intake with Christianne six months ago. Christianne is a professional skin specialist who dares to be honest and realistic. I know that pigmentation is difficult to treat. I have had some treatments in the past at another salon. That gave some results, but not enough for me. I had read on the internet about the possibilities in treatments offered by the laser clinic and I thought it was at least worth a try. Without having started any treatments, I already had results with the products I was given to try. I then started several treatments. Christianne looked per appointment what the result of the skin was and what kind of treatment would fit best. Today I had the 3rd and for now the last treatment and the result is great! The pigmentation will always be a part of me, but it has become so much less visible and I am so happy with that!           <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>- Bo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_3 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Your investment<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>For the medical indication melasma, reimbursement from the supplementary health insurance is possible.

Honest and transparent information is very important to us at The Laser Clinic. This is why we always tell our clients: daylight is sunlight, the best anti-pigment cream is to apply an SPF 50 at least daily! Prevention is better than cure.

The method is based on one or two deeper treatments at the clinic, after which you complete the treatment yourself at home. In fact, the special mask should last for 6 to 12 hours. At home, continue treatment for 6 months with special spot-out products. The rate for this treatment is \u20ac 395 including home products.

Triggering factors of this hypersensitivity include: pregnancy, pill use, some anti-epileptic drugs, hereditary predisposition and certain cosmetics containing perfume, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_10 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Is melasma the same as a pregnancy mask?  <\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>Yes, melasma is also called pregnancy mask. This term is somewhat confusing because this pigmentation condition also occurs without pregnancy and even in men. We do know that hormonal factors come into play, which is why pregnant women are more likely to develop melasma.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_11 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What is the main trigger?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>The main trigger of melasma is sunlight. This stimulates your pigment cell to make pigment. In the case of melasma, this is hypersensitivity, causing your pigment cell to produce even faster and more melanin (pigment). Without sunlight, you won't get pigmentation. New scientific research even shows that screen light (blue light) and in skin types III and above, heat (such as from sauna visits) stimulate your pigment cells to make extra melanin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_12 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What is the difference between pigment spots and melasma?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>Melasma is a chronic skin condition in which hormones cause the skin to have a permanent sensitivity to produce too much melanin. Fortunately, there are more and more treatment options to treat this stubborn skin condition. Whereas pigmentation spots are relatively easy to treat, melasma is more of a challenge.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_13 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What does my skin look like after a treatment?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>After treatment, the skin may be redder. This subsides within a few hours. With deeper treatments, scaling, temporary dryness or tightness may be a desired reaction. Beforehand, we always discuss if and how much recovery time there is after a treatment. After most treatments, we can apply a concealer product from lycogel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_14 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Do I need a referral letter to make an appointment?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>No, a referral is not necessary.

Make an appointment to reduce these spots.<\/p>\n<p>At The Laser Clinic, we specialize in treating melasma. With an intensive course, we help you make your skin more even and healthy, giving you a calmer skin appearance. Melasma, unfortunately, is a chronic sensitivity that is quickly triggered. Aggressive treatments provide only a temporary effect or eventual worsening of the stains. Therefore, be critical by whom and how you allow yourself to be treated. We strive for long-term results with honest advice and a broad perspective. We believe in results-oriented treatment, with you in control as much as possible. Stabilizing melasma is a big challenge, but by working together we achieve great results.

Several treatments are recommended here. Rates range from \u20ac99 to \u20ac199 per treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Spot-out treatment<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The spot-out treatment is the only deeper treatment ideally suited for melasma and darker skin types. It works on your entire skin condition: your skin will be evened out and regain its glow. The method is based on one or two deeper treatments at the clinic, after which you complete the treatment yourself at home. In fact, the special mask should last for 6 to 12 hours. At home, continue treatment for 6 months with special spot-out products. The rate for this treatment is \u20ac 395 including home products. Note that the skin must be pre-treated!<\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Medical microneedling<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Medical Skinpen is our all-rounder. It gives your skin a true collagen boost, giving you stronger skin from the inside out. It is the only FDA-approved microneedling system in the world. Perfect for softening fine lines, acne scars, skin imperfections such as pigmentation and sagging. Suitable and safe for all skin types. You will see the final results after about 12 to 16 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Camouflage therapy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With lycogel medical camouflage products, you can effectively camouflage your skin without closing it off. Supplemental health insurance reimburses for these products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Laser, IPL or Thulium<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With our extensive laser equipment, we treat superficial pigmentation of the skin. Unfortunately, with melasma, the pigment is usually deeper in the skin as well. Therefore, laser therapy is not always appropriate. We assess your skin to estimate this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Or a combination of the above treatments.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_24 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What is the cause of melasma?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>The exact cause of melasma is still unknown. However, it is clear that hypersensitivity develops in pigment cells to daylight, artificial UV radiation, blue light and sometimes heat. Triggering factors of this hypersensitivity include: pregnancy, pill use, some anti-epileptic drugs, hereditary predisposition and certain cosmetics containing perfume, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_25 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Is melasma the same as a pregnancy mask?  <\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>Yes, melasma is also called pregnancy mask. This term is somewhat confusing because this pigmentation condition also occurs without pregnancy and even in men. We do know that hormonal factors come into play, which is why pregnant women are more likely to develop melasma.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_26 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What is the main trigger?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>The main trigger of melasma is sunlight. This stimulates your pigment cell to make pigment. In the case of melasma, this is hypersensitivity, causing your pigment cell to produce even faster and more melanin (pigment). Without sunlight, you won't get pigmentation. New scientific research even shows that screen light (blue light) and in skin types III and above, heat (such as from sauna visits) stimulate your pigment cells to make extra melanin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_27 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What is the difference between pigment spots and melasma?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>Melasma is a chronic skin condition in which hormones cause the skin to have a permanent sensitivity to produce too much melanin. Fortunately, there are more and more treatment options to treat this stubborn skin condition. Whereas pigmentation spots are relatively easy to treat, melasma is more of a challenge.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_28 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What does my skin look like after a treatment?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>After treatment, the skin may be redder. This subsides within a few hours. With deeper treatments, scaling, temporary dryness or tightness may be a desired reaction. Beforehand, we always discuss if and how much recovery time there is after a treatment. After most treatments, we can apply a concealer product from lycogel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_29 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_block_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Do I need a referral letter to make an appointment?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content\"><p>No, a referral is not necessary.

I went for an intake with Christianne six months ago. Christianne is a professional skin specialist who dares to be honest and realistic. I know that pigmentation is difficult to treat. I have had some treatments in the past at another salon. That gave some results, but not enough for me. I had read on the internet about the possibilities in treatments offered by the laser clinic and I thought it was at least worth a try. Without having started any treatments, I already had results with the products I was given to try. I then started several treatments. Christianne looked per appointment what the result of the skin was and what kind of treatment would fit best. Today I had the 3rd and for now the last treatment and the result is great! The pigmentation will always be a part of me, but it has become so much less visible and I am so happy with that!           <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>- Bo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element dsm_lottie dsm_lottie_1\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm_lottie_wrapper\" data-percent-viewport=\"\" data-params={&quot;path&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:true,&quot;loop_no&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;delay&quot;:&quot;0ms&quot;,&quot;direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;hover&quot;:false,&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;on_hover&quot;,&quot;scroll&quot;:&quot;on_hover&quot;,&quot;mouseout&quot;:&quot;no_action&quot;,&quot;viewport&quot;:&quot;80%&quot;}>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_27 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>I am extremely satisfied with my treatment for melasma at the Laser Clinic.
