Struggling with stubborn melasma?
At KCCS Anamnagar, Kathmandu, we offer evidence-based, medical-grade melasma treatment using the Candela PicoWay laser combined with microneedling mesotherapy—designed for safe, long-term pigment control in Nepalese skin.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition causing brown to grey patches on:
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Upper lip
- Jawline
Common triggers include sun exposure, hormones (pregnancy/PCOS), genetics, and heat/inflammation.
⚠️ Melasma is not just surface pigmentation—it often involves deeper pigment and overactive melanocytes. Incorrect or aggressive treatments can worsen it.
KCCS Protocol: Safe, Layered Treatment for Lasting Results
At KCCS, we don’t rely on a single modality. We use a step-wise combination approach to clear existing pigment and reduce recurrence.
1) Skin Preparation (2–4 weeks)
Goal: Stabilize melanocytes and reduce rebound risk
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+)
- Medical-grade topicals:
- Tranexamic acid (TXA) 3–5%
- Alpha arbutin 2–4%
- Niacinamide 4–5%
- Barrier repair moisturizers
2) Candela PicoWay Laser (Picosecond Laser)
Technology: Candela PicoWay (world-class picosecond platform)
How it works:
- Ultra-short pulses shatter pigment into micro-particles
- Clears pigment with minimal thermal damage
- Safer profile for Asian/Nepalese skin types
Benefits:
- Targets epidermal + dermal melasma
- Lower risk of PIH vs traditional lasers
- Improves overall skin clarity and tone
Sessions & Gap:
- 3–6 sessions
- Every 3–4 weeks
3) Microneedling + Mesotherapy
Goal: Suppress melanocyte activity & enhance laser results
Technique:
- Controlled microneedling creates microchannels
- Targeted serums delivered into deeper layers
Key actives used:
- Tranexamic acid (TXA)
- Glutathione
- Vitamin C
- Peptides
Benefits:
- Reduces pigment production
- Improves texture, pores, and glow
- Enhances longevity of results
Sessions & Gap:
- 3–5 sessions
- Every 3–4 weeks
Why Combine PicoWay + Mesotherapy?
- PicoWay: breaks down existing pigment
- Mesotherapy: controls new pigment formation
👉 This dual approach leads to better clearance + lower recurrence rates
Maintenance Plan (Critical for Melasma)
Melasma is chronic, so maintenance is essential:
- Daily SPF 50+ sunscreen (reapply every 2–3 hrs outdoors)
- Ongoing depigmenting skincare (TXA, niacinamide, arbutin)
- Maintenance sessions every 2–3 months (if needed)
Results Timeline
- 4–6 weeks: visible brightening
- 8–12 weeks: clearer, more even tone
- 3–6 months: significant improvement with consistency
✔️ Our focus is safe, gradual improvement—not aggressive over-treatment.
