What Is Melasma Treatment?
Melasma is a skin condition that occurs due to excessive melanin production in certain areas of the skin. Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment found in the body that gives skin, hair, and eyes color. If melanin is overproduced, you may experience dark patches on areas of the skin that often are exposed to sunlight. Melasma is usually found on the face and occurs more frequently during or after pregnancy. If dark patches on your skin are bothersome, contact Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania in Devon, PA today to schedule a consultation to discuss treatment options.
What Should I Expect With Melasma Treatment?
When you come to our Devon, PA practice for your melasma treatment, you will have a personalized consultation. Treatment options may include a combination of topical lightening creams, oral medications, and laser treatments to help reduce the appearance of your dark patches. For laser treatment, various beams of energy will be directed to the darkly pigmented areas on your skin using an advanced laser. The laser will help breakup and clear out the pigment in these areas and also rejuvenate the skin. The body will then begin to produce new collagen and elastin so your skin can be more radiant. The treated areas may initially appear darker, but this typically fades after about a week. Good sun protection can help to maintain your improvement.

Laser & Skin Reviews
Stephanie is professional, talented, and attentive to the wants and needs of each patient. My experience has been nothing but elite and outstanding. Look no further than Stephanie Slaski.
I first came to Laser Skin Surgery Center in Devon about two years ago after dealing with persistent bumps on my face that simply would not go away. Before coming here, I had seen another dermatologist in Philadelphia who diagnosed me with rosacea, but the treatment wasn’t resolving the problem.Then I saw Dr. Wang, and the difference in the level of care was immediate.He took his time examining my skin, looked at the affected areas under magnification, took a skin sample, and actually asked questions to figure out what was going on. He even asked where I worked. When I told him I worked for a school district and was around children, that information helped him determine that what I was dealing with was contagious warts—not rosacea.He treated the areas by freezing/zapping them, and I NEVER saw those spots again. After struggling with them for so long, that was incredible.Fast-forward two years, and I returned to the Devon office because I was experiencing intense, life-disrupting itching. Naturally, I asked for Dr. Wang because of how positive my first experience had been. I was told that he is primarily doing surgeries now and that I would need to see Dr. Stephanie.I’ll admit—I was hesitant! 😂 When you find a doctor who gets it right, you don't necessarily want to switch.But man, oh man... Dr. Stephanie has been 10/10 with me. She has not missed the mark with my skin AT ALL.She is patient, kind, funny, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly, I feel like she actually listens. She doesn't rush through the appointment or make you feel like you're just another patient on the schedule. She takes the time to understand what I'm experiencing, explains what she's seeing and what we're doing about it, and I leave feeling confident in the care I'm receiving.Between my original experience with Dr. Wang and the care I now receive from Dr. Stephanie, I have developed a tremendous amount of trust in this practice. When something is going on with my skin, this is where I'm going.I highly recommend the Devon office—especially if you've been dealing with a skin issue that hasn't been properly diagnosed or resolved elsewhere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She was absolutely amazing! She gave me answers to all my questions! And made any process we did very easy!
Needed an appointment asap. Was able to book one same day. Stephanie Slaski was great. She was super efficient and knowledgeable. Cleared up my issue. Highly recommend.
Very good experience at this office. Provider was top notch.
