About This Treatment
Looking for melasma treatment in Boston? Meli performs every melasma treatment session personally at our Financial District studio — 200 High St, Boston, MA 02110.
Melasma is one of the most challenging skin conditions to treat — dark, uneven patches that can affect the face, particularly in women. At Highstyle, Meli uses a carefully calibrated laser protocol to break down excess melanin deposits layer by layer, gradually restoring a beautifully even, luminous skin tone.
Every melasma case is unique. Meli begins with a thorough skin assessment and creates a personalized treatment plan that may combine laser sessions with a tailored home-care routine for maximum, lasting results. You'll notice your skin becoming brighter, clearer, and more confident with every session.

Clinical Standards
Medical-grade, not salon-grade
Highstyle Laser Center operates medical devices under a documented protocol — the same category of equipment used in dermatology practices, not the light-based devices sold to spas.
FDA clearance · Pigment-targeting laser
FDA-cleared laser protocols for benign pigmented lesions.
FDA-cleared technology
Every device in the studio is FDA-cleared for the specific result it is used for — permanent hair reduction, wrinkle reduction, resurfacing, vascular lesions and cellulite.
Medical intake and screening
A full medical history, medication review and contraindication screen is completed before your first session. If a treatment is not appropriate for you, we say so.
Skin-type calibrated protocols
Fluence, pulse width and depth are set from your Fitzpatrick skin type and concern — with a test spot where warranted. No one-size-fits-all programs.
One specialist, every visit
Meli performs every session personally and documents your settings each time, so your series progresses on evidence rather than guesswork.

The Protocol
Why the method matters
Low-fluence protocols are chosen specifically to avoid the rebound darkening melasma is known for
Settings are selected by skin tone and melasma pattern — epidermal versus dermal behaves very differently
Laser sessions are paired with a structured sun-protection and home-care protocol to hold the result

How It Compares
Melasma Treatment vs. the alternatives
Hydroquinone and brightening creams
Creams suppress pigment; laser protocols break down deposits that creams cannot reach.
Chemical peels
Peel depth is limited and can inflame melasma; laser fluence is controlled precisely.
IPL photofacials
IPL can trigger rebound pigmentation in melasma-prone skin; a calibrated laser protocol is safer.

What patients say about this treatment
“I initially consulted with Alma about laser lip lightening as I hated my dark lips. She suggested I do a facial as it covers lips as well and with that I can take care of other problem areas. I couldn’t have been happier, my skin tone is evening out and my lips are slowly getting lighter. I can tell it’s not just about the money with her and she genuinely cares about her clients looking and feeling their best. She is the sweetest person, and she takes her time explaining the process so you understand that it’s not a one time fix. I would definitely recommend her.”
“I’ve been to Meli twice and I can’t wait to go back. I try and get a facial a few times a year and always leave feeling better about my skin. Now that I’ve had a laser facial from Meli, I don’t want to get any other type of facial. The laser tightens skin and reduces any dark spots. The second time, Meli also lasered off little dark spots on my chest and arms. I hate these dark spots and didn’t think there was anything I could do about them. It has been less than a week since my arms were treated with the laser and I can tell a noticeable reduction in the pigmentation! It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in a while and I can’t recommend Meli enough!!”
“Meli does a great job of assessing your skin to see what you need. My dark spots have lightened significantly!”
“If your African skin tone this is the place to be. I’ve been coming here for two years now and my skin is glowing! My skin was damage and now my skin is glowing!!! I had acne, hair and dark spots now my skin is even”
“Thank you Mily for my face, my skin is more hydrated and toned every day. I no longer have dark circles or bags under my eyes and the color of my skin is beautiful. I no longer have dark melanin and every day my skin looks brighter and rejuvenated.Thank you … you are very professional”
“I have been looking for a way to get rid of hyperpigmentation and all other clinics told there is no way to cure it. I stopped by highstyle laser center and she said she will try to lighten the skin with a laser. She suggested 5 sessions every 2 months, so I have only done one yesterday. I will update later once I finish my sessions about the final results. I m very hopeful!”
