Samira Parpia

Did a Hydrafacial at Shookra yesterday with the beauty therapist Boutaina and I’m honestly so impressed. My skin felt super clean, hydrated, and just... fresh. The clinic is gorgeous, the staff were lovely, and everything felt really professional. You can tell they know what they’re doing.  

Definitely one of the best facials I’ve had in Dubai — perfect if you're looking for deep cleansing, glow, or just a proper skin reset. Will 100% be back.

Aarushi Gupta

Absolutely loved my experience at Aesthetic and Longevity Clinic. The ambience is luxe and calming, the staff warm and welcoming. I went in for the Salmon DNA treatment with Dr. Bushra, who was incredibly gentle and thorough — the procedure was smooth, painless, and so well explained. Can’t wait to see the results!

How we treat Melasma at Shookra

We combine advanced technology with evidence-based therapies to offer tailored treatment options

BBL Heroic

BBL Heroic delivers precise pulses of BroadBand Light to target the excess melanin that causes melasma and other pigmentation disorders. By gently breaking down pigment and regulating future melanin production, it helps restore a clearer, more even complexion while stimulating collagen for smoother, brighter skin — all with no downtime.

Chemical Peels

Our customized chemical peels gently exfoliate the skin using medical-grade solutions to remove dead cells, smooth texture, and correct discoloration caused by sun damage, acne scars, or pigmentation. For deeper concerns like melasma and stubborn dark spots, we offer the advanced Cosmelan® Depigmentation Peel, which works by regulating melanin production to lighten existing pigmentation and prevent future recurrence. Each treatment is tailored to your skin type, revealing a clearer, brighter, and more even-toned complexion with renewed radiance.

Discovery Pico Laser

An advanced laser that precisely targets melanin deposits without harming surrounding skin. It breaks down deep pigmentation and stimulates collagen renewal, resulting in clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin with minimal downtime.

Mesotherapy

A gentle infusion of customized nutrient cocktails that penetrate the skin to enhance radiance, reduce pigmentation, and support long-term skin clarity. Each treatment is tailored to your individual skin needs for maximum effect.

LED Light Therapy

A gentle yet powerful therapy that calms inflammation, promotes healing, and enhances pigment correction. It’s often combined with other treatments to soothe the skin and accelerate results.

Antioxidant IV Drips

IV infusions work internally to detoxify, brighten, and strengthen the skin from within—supporting external treatments for more radiant and even-toned results.

Customized Homecare & Sun Protection

We complete your melasma program with a prescribed homecare regimen and professional sun protection plan to maintain results and prevent recurrence.

Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by discolored patches or dark spots on the face, most often appearing on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

It is most common among pregnant women due to hormonal changes, but it can also be caused by sun exposure, birth control pills, and various hormonal issues. 

The condition develops when melanin-producing cells create excess pigment in the skin. Melasma is not harmful, but it can cause emotional distress and make you more introverted.   

The good news is that we now have a solution to help you get back on track. With our advanced melasma treatment in Dubai, you'll restore confidence and achieve healthier, more balanced skin.

Symptoms and causes of Melasma

Asymmetrical, discolored patches

Uneven skin tone

Dark spots on sun-exposed areas

There are a lot of risk factors that increase the chance of melasma. Hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, birth control, or hormonal treatments are major contributors. Sun exposure can worsen melasma and lead to more pronounced patches. 

Certain oral medications, skin inflammation, and lifestyle factors may also trigger melasma or worsen existing pigmentation. A complete medical history is crucial in helping to diagnose melasma and recommend the most suitable treatment.

Early and consistent treatment of melasma reduces excess pigment, prevents new discolored patches from forming, and improves overall skin tone.

While melasma may fade on its own, especially after pregnancy or by stopping birth control, it often persists or worsens without professional care. Early and consistent treatment of melasma reduces excess pigment, prevents new discolored patches from forming, and improves overall skin tone. 

Managing melasma with proper sun protection and medical treatments helps avoid long-term pigmentation issues and promotes healthy skin. Visiting a professional, luxurious clinic, such as Shookra, is a much better choice than trying home remedies or hoping the condition will improve on its own.

Have questions? We’re here to help.

What causes melasma?

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation triggered by hormonal changes, genetics, sun exposure, or heat. It appears as brown or gray patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip, and is more common in women and medium-to-darker skin tones.

How does Shookra treat melasma?

At Shookra, we use a multi-modal approach combining BBL Heroic, Discovery PICO Laser, and medical-grade depigmentation peels to gently break down excess melanin while calming inflammation. We also integrate Rejuran, exosome therapy, or topical brightening serums to regulate pigment production and prevent recurrence.

Is melasma treatment safe for all skin types?

Yes — melasma requires precision and control. Our dermatologists adjust device settings and treatment depth to ensure safety for all skin tones, especially darker and sensitive types prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

Most patients notice visible improvement after 3–5 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Melasma can be persistent, so ongoing maintenance and medical-grade skincare are recommended to sustain results.

Can melasma be completely removed?

While melasma can fade significantly, it may not be fully permanent due to hormonal and environmental triggers. However, with consistent care, results are long-lasting, and recurrence can be minimized with sun protection and periodic maintenance.

What should I expect after treatment?

You may experience mild redness or darkening of pigment for a few days as the skin renews. Over time, patches lighten, and your skin tone becomes more even, radiant, and balanced.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare and temporary — mild dryness or sensitivity can occur as the skin exfoliates and regenerates. Every treatment is dermatologist-supervised using clinically validated devices and products.

Can melasma return after treatment?

Yes, melasma is a chronic condition that can recur with sun exposure, hormonal changes, or heat. Consistent sunscreen use, maintenance treatments, and medical skincare significantly reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Who should avoid melasma treatments?

Patients with active skin infections, recent sunburn, or those who are pregnant should postpone treatment. A dermatologist consultation ensures your skin is ready for safe, effective results.

Can melasma treatment be combined with other therapies?

Absolutely. Combining BBL Heroic or PICO Laser with chemical peels, Rejuran, or exosome boosters enhances pigment clearance and overall skin health, delivering faster and longer-lasting results.
